-Motivation- What is your motivation to having a procedure performed? Is it to improve an aspect of your appearance (good reason) or stay youthful (good reasons) or is it to save a marriage (red flag)?
- Know what you want to change- Make sure you have a clear idea what you want to change. Do you want to look more refreshed/ rejuvenated/ change the appearance of your nose/ etc? Going into a plastic surgeon's office and asking, "What do you think I need?" is not likely the best approach.
- Research about the procedure and make sure that what you are looking for can be achieved by surgery
- If you are not 100% committed to the surgery, don't do it. You can always do it later when you are ready. Find out why you have cold feet and whether your cold feet are related to the procedure or the surgeon performing the procedure.
