Cosmetic surgery is the art of remolding the appearance of specific body parts by qualified surgeons. Usually individuals desire to change their breast, ears, eyes, face, hair, nose and abdomens. For the breasts, normal cosmetic surgery consists of augmenting, reducing or remolding the breasts. Eye surgery includes adjusting drooping upper eyelids or taking away puffy bags beneath the eyes. Usually, facial cosmetic surgery involves getting rid of facial wrinkles, creases and acne scars; or changing the form of the nose. It also includes removing fats from the tummy.

As cosmetic surgery carries a major decision-making process, it is critical to choose a doctor that you have faith with. Select a doctor that has finished at least five years of surgical training and at least 2 years in plastic surgery. Choose one who is a educated and knowledgeable surgeon that works only in authorized aesthetic clinics. Be observant to the doctor's persona and whether he sticks to a strict code of ethics. And finally, always make sure that your doctor puts your safety first.

The following checklist can serve as your guide when planning for a cosmetic surgery consultation:

1. Is the doctor registered?

2. Is the doctor educated and trained specifically in the field of plastic surgery?

3. How many years of plastic surgery training has the doctor had?

4. Are you a good candidate for this procedure?

5. What will be expected of you to get the best results?

6. Where and how will the doctor execute your cosmetic surgery?

7. What is the appropriate surgical technique recommended for me?

8. How long of a recovery period can you anticipate, and will the doctor promptly assist in case of complications during the recovery period?

9. What are the risks and complications affiliated with the process?

10. What are your choices if you are dissatisfied with the cosmetic surgery?
