Visiting a cosmetic clinic for plastic surgery, or a non-surgical treatment is exciting, but it can also be nerve-racking, particularly if this is the first time that you have done so.
If you opt for a permanent treatment, you are about to commit to something that will have consequences, hopefully for the better, on the rest of your life. We are one of the leading providers of lip fillers Glasgow, and a range of other non-surgical cosmetic treatments but have experienced professionals in our team who also have extensive knowledge of the plastic surgery industry.
To help put you at ease and ensure you are aware of all of the facts before proceeding with your treatment, we have created this guide to the 5 common mistakes made by first time cosmetic clients. Avoid these and you are well on the way to achieving the results you desire in a safe and comfortable environment.
Mistake 1: Failing to do research
The worst thing that you can do when choosing a plastic surgeon is simply to google clinics in your local area and choose the first one that pops up. Take time to do in-depth research into the training their clinicians have gone through, their experience, their qualifications, and the reviews that they have received in the past.
This will give you a much better idea of what to expect when you visit them for the first time and help you to avoid cowboy surgeons.
Mistake 2: Failing to explain your goals
If a cosmetic doctor is unaware of exactly what it is that you are hoping to achieve with your treatment, they won’t be able to deliver the best possible results, or warm you that your goals may not be attainable through this treatment.
You should always be fully transparent with your surgeon about your goals and aims for the best possible results.
Mistake 3: Unrealistic expectations
The results that cosmetic treatments can have are astounding but most are designed to enhance your natural beauty, not completely restructure your appearance.
Make sure that you are realistic about what you expect to achieve from your treatment and ask the clinic for some before and after shots of those who have had the treatment in the past to keep your expectations in check
Mistake 4: Getting treatment for the ‘wrong’ reasons
If you do decide to get a cosmetic treatment, it should be entirely your decision to do so. Never feel pressured by others to change your appearance or proceed with a treatment to please someone else. If you feel any sort of pressure to go through with treatment or have any concerns whatsoever, talk to your doctor and they should encourage you to think again.
Mistake 5: Ignoring doctor’s advice
When you get a cosmetic treatment, your doctor will give you some rules to follow in regards to rest and recovery. Follow these to the letter for the best chance of swift healing and the best possible results.
