Am I a good candidate for a cosmetic procedure?

In the initial consultation with Dr. Andrade this topic will be covered. The best candidates for cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery including breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift or breast enlargement are those seeking to match their outer physical appearance with their positive self image.

Products to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles (such as Botox®, Restylane®, Evolence®, and Radiesse®) are a good solution for people wishing to decrease the appearance of early facial aging, without the downtime of a surgical procedure. It is important that individuals considering these minor procedures have expectations that are realistic.

Facial surgical procedures (facelift, necklift, eyelid surgery, ear setback) are suitable to improve the overall balance and proportions of the face.

Body contouring procedures (tummy tuck, liposuction, arm reduction / brachioplasty, thigh lift, breast lift / mastopexy) are best reserved for patients close to their ideal weight and are still not satisfied with their appearance. These procedures are designed to complement a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise and balanced diet.

Patients seeking cosmetic surgery come from all walks of life. Most people do not seek perfection but want to feel more comfortable with their overall body appearance. It is best to discuss your expectations with Dr. Andrade to ensure that your goals can be achieved.
