Is Plastic Surgery Right For You?
The two biggest factors in making this decision are your health and having realistic expectations of your surgical outcomes.
Patients with serious health issues or patients on certain medications may not be candidates for plastic surgery. Dr. Aboutanos can discuss the risks and benefits of plastic surgery with you and determine if plastic surgery is right for you.
Dr. Aboutanos is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and she is experienced in a wide range of procedures. However, when choosing your plastic surgeon it’s important to make sure you feel comfortable with your doctor. A consultation can help you determine whether a surgeon is the right “fit.”
When you schedule a consultation, Dr. Aboutanos will answer any questions you may have and help you determine if plastic surgery is right for you. She’ll also explain the risks and benefits of any procedure you’re interested in and whether it will help you achieve your goals.
