Questions to ask before you go in for cosmetic surgery

If you’ve recently decided to undergo cosmetic surgery, it’s natural to have queries about the procedure and the postoperative side effects, if any. Here are a few questions to ask your surgeon when you visit the cosmetic surgery clinic for an initial consultation.

• What are their formal qualifications? Find out if they are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and if they are a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
• What are the risks involved in your surgery? Get clarification on the known risks of the procedure and if a specific health condition or lifestyle behaviour puts you at higher risk than others.
• What does the post-treatment recovery period look like? Ask about the duration of the recovery period and the kind of help you will be needing during recovery.
