This is an important decision. You should not feel pressured or rushed to make a choice (i.e. you have to book today to get this price).

The more specific you can be about a particular feature that you would like to change the more likely your surgeon will be able to meet your expectations. I will not operate on someone who comes in and asks me: "What would you change about me?" Most ethical surgeons feel the same way. Yes...

When to Have Plastic Surgery
When you get right down to it, nobody really needs aesthetic cosmetic surgery.

How do I know if I am ready?

Ask yourself the tough questions. What am I doing this...
Ask yourself the tough questions. What am I doing this for? Will this nose job really save my marriage? etc. etc. Plastic surgery on the right person can have amazing effects on improving self esteem and revitalizing the way one feels about themselves.
But surgery on someone who has underlying personal issues is unlikely to solve their problems and may make them worse off. These people are better off going for counseling and addressing their underlying issues.

This person will then be able to provide and objective assessment. Once the person has determined that there may be need or cosmetic improvement, then they should consult with a reputable facial plastic or plastic surgeon.
