DOES MEDICAL INSURANCE COVER MY COSMETIC SURGERY?

Insurance typically does not cover you for cosmetic procedures, unless they are for reconstructive surgery. However, even in these extreme cases, you still need to check with your provider.

IS COSMETIC/PLASTIC SURGERY GOING TO REQUIRE A HOSPITAL STAY?

Many surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, so day stay can be typical, but for more invasive procedures, overnight stay may be required.

HOW DO I ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS FROM MY PLASTIC SURGERY?

There are many things you can do, and for specifics you would need to follow the advice given in your consultation, however, here are some tips that may be of use:

Prior to and after your surgery, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking, as these habits can impact your healing and the final outcome.
Stop taking non-prescribed supplements around 7 days prior to surgery.
If you smoke, try not smoking for at least six weeks prior to surgery.
Inform your consultant or nurse if you have or are taking any anticoagulants or aspirin as they can cause unnecessary bleeding during surgery.
Inform the clinic if you come down with a cold, fever, infection or injury to reschedule your procedure.

I'M RELUCTANT TO HAVE SURGERY, ARE THERE OTHER NON-INVASIVE OPTIONS?

Yes, there are several non-invasive options available for those who are hesitant to have surgery. Some popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures include:

Botulinum toxin injections (Botox): Botox is used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them.
Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers can be used to add volume and hydration to the skin, as well as to enhance the lips, cheeks, and other facial features.
Chemical peels: Chemical peels use a solution to remove the top layers of damaged skin, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion uses a gentle, mechanical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture and tone.
Laser skin resurfacing: Laser skin resurfacing uses intense light to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
Non-surgical fat reduction: Non-surgical fat reduction uses techniques like cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) and ultrasound-assisted liposuction to remove fat without surgery.

While non-invasive options may not produce results as dramatic as surgery, they offer a less invasive and less risky alternative for those seeking to improve their appearance.

It’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best options for your individual needs and goals.

DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF I HAVE MY SURGERY IN THE UK OR ABROAD?

The decision of where to have cosmetic surgery is a personal one and depends on a variety of factors. Here are some things to consider:

Cost: Having cosmetic surgery abroad can often be cheaper due to lower labor and overhead costs, but it’s important to be cautious of low-cost providers who may compromise on safety and quality.
Quality of care: The quality of care can vary greatly depending on the country and the clinic. It’s important to research the qualifications and experience of the surgeon, as well as the facility’s safety record and patient satisfaction rates.
Availability of aftercare: If you have complications after your surgery, it may be more difficult to receive follow-up care if you have had your procedure abroad.
Language barriers: Communication with your surgeon and medical staff is crucial for a successful outcome, so it’s important to make sure that you are able to communicate effectively in the same language.
Travel and recovery: Traveling after surgery can be strenuous and may delay your recovery. Additionally, you may need to stay in the country for several weeks after your procedure to ensure proper healing, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

Ultimately, it’s important to carefully research your options and make an informed decision based on your individual needs and circumstances. At Top Cosmetic Surgeon all our facilities are safe and accredited. Contact our expert team for more information.
