5 Tips for Men Who Are Considering Plastic Surgery
Here are some tips for anyone considering male plastic surgery:
1. Understanding Your Goals With Plastic Surgery
The decision to have plastic surgery is an important one because you are choosing to modify your body permanently.
The first step to take if you are on the fence about plastic surgery is to have an honest conversation with yourself about the intended outcomes you wish plastic surgery will fulfill for you.
Some questions to ask yourself are:
- Why do I want plastic surgery?
- Will this procedure transform my quality of life and overall happiness?
- Is my physical and mental at a stable point to handle a plastic surgery procedure?
2. Schedule Your Consultation
After having a conversation with yourself to develop the ground rules that you are indeed ready to make changes to your body, the next step would be to set up an in-person consultation with your plastic surgeon.
Dr. Elliott-Ghere will help you decide which plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery is right for you and your desired goals during your consultation.

While you are considering plastic surgery, you can begin doing the preliminary preparation of living a lifestyle that includes a daily exercise routine and healthy eating habits.
4. Do Your Research
The internet can be somewhat deceiving when you are searching for answers, so a consultation with Dr. Elliott Ghere will approach your questions in a professional and qualified way. But before meeting with her, it is expected that you will use the internet to do some research.
You should look at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery for professional and reliable sources regarding your plastic surgery options.
5. Time Off Work
With any plastic surgery procedure, at-home recovery time may be needed. You should make sure you are at a good time in your life where requesting some time off of work will not be a cause of concern.
It will be a necessity to take care of yourself post-surgery to allow for a full recovery to take place.
