Low Risk Cosmetic Surgery Cosmetic surgery ranks among the top surgeries performed in the medical field today. Although complications are rare and procedures are thought about as usually safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, there are still some risks involved. How do they minimise the risks of Cosmetic Surgery in London? 1. Approach Cosmetic Surgery in London as a serious medical procedure. Sometimes the fact that cosmetic surgery is elective affects the way you perceive it. If you undergo surgery for cosmetic reasons, you may tend to think of it as something like going to the beauty salon and having a haircut. It is important to recognise that the body doesn't differentiate the trauma from cosmetic surgery from any other surgery. 2. Make sure you fully understand the procedure you are thinking about. The degree of cosmetic surgery complications and risks is largely dependent on the type of surgery/s performed and way of minimising risks is to harm you with knowledge about the procedure. Minor complications and unmet expectations can be minimised by fully understanding the risks and benefits associated with the procedure you are thinking about.


3. Don't be one of the first to try out a brand spanking new technology. Innovative technologies and new surgical techniques are continually being introduced through the media and sometimes the complications for these procedures have not been fully documented or evaluated. For example, the issue of hyper pigmentation due to laser treatments only surfaced after over a year of its introduction. Thus it is advisable to wait at least 18months once a brand new technology is released before trying it out. New equipment requires a massive investment and regrettably, some doctors want to make a return for their investment quickly. 4. Choose your plastic surgeon well. The benefit of elective surgery is you have the time to do research, get second opinions and choose your surgeon well. The best way to minimise risk is to choose a reliable Cosmetic Surgeon in London that is board certified and has the experience and skill necessary for a successful surgery. 5. Don't be tempted by a low cost tag. Although prices for Cosmetic Surgery in London vary widely, you want to make sure that you don't sacrifice safety and quality for a lower cost. Confirm the products or implants that the surgeon will use for your procedure. 6. Check the surgical facility and support staff. Although many cosmetic surgery procedures may be safely done in outpatient clinics, others should only be done in a hospital setting. Check that the operating facility is properly equipped with state-ofthe-art facilities and meets standards for operating room safety, personnel and surgeon credentials.

7. Avoid strenuous activity for several weeks after surgery. In During the initial postoperative period, take at least a week away from your everyday activities, allowing yourself time to rest and recuperate. Excessive physical activity may finish up in unnecessary swelling or bleeding. 8. Contact your surgeon immediately if you experience any post-operative complications. Even if your surgeon has a scheduled a follow up appointment with


you, don't wait for the scheduled date to consult about any unusual signs such as excessive pain or bleeding, fever or abnormal swelling.
