Dr. Raghu EthreA facial plastic surgeon located in Texas estimates that he converts potential patients in about 10% of the time because they are not mentally or emotionally in the right place. “I would say, ‘Hey, listen. I don’t think a facelift for you at this time is probably a suitable process for you, and we can probably talk about it in the future.” And I probably say about those patients, about 50% come back later and you know that you are right. “When you have a level of honesty, you are really able to choose patients you want to do and you get great results.”
In the counseling phase, honesty is important, Dr. Athre says. “If they come in and show you an Instagram picture, then says, ‘I want the surgeon’s moral and moral responsibility,’ Listen, first, it’s not going to happen, okay?” Or, “This is a craze,” he says. “We have to learn to address it and do not work for the concept of only achieving salary.”
Then the process itself comes, and after that, the initial post-up period, which usually lasts for about two weeks. Even patients who are more happy than the final result, sometimes struggle with depression or anxiety in early days after surgery, due to pain, discomfort, isolation and difficulty in sleeping. Plastic surgeons say that they can help reduce the risk by preparing patients what the op-up period will actually look physically and emotionally.
Dr. Ethre says, “I tell my patients that three to four days after you, you will be depressed at the end of the story.” “You need to prepare for this.”
Dr. Founder of Michelle Lee, Perk Plastic Surgery In California, patients recommend to ensure that they are a favorite person to live or hire with a private nurse during the recovery process, but not alone. She says, “No one should go completely from this kind of process.” “It likes anything in life. You want a community to pass through it with you. You don’t need to broadcast it on social media, but you must have a reliable friend to support you.” She also asks patients to avoid the mirror for the first few days, when injury is the worst, and to get out of the house and in nature- “with a large hat, of course.”
