Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic Surgery... What should I know?
Self image is one of the main reasons patients consider cosmetic surgery. Often times by enhancing your outward appearance your perception of yourself also changes.
When considering a cosmetic procedure it's important to keep in mind what is realistic compared to your expectations. Choosing a physician who will be honest with your anticipated results can limit any disappointments down the road.
With any type of surgery, there is always some risk involved, however most cosmetic surgery techniques are relatively safe. Cascade Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery uses only the best board certified anesthesiologist's who have worked successfully with Dr. Hauge for many years in both accredited out patient facilities and hospital settings.
Your lifestyle will definitely contribute to the quality of your surgical result. Healthy lifestyle changes should be a part of any cosmetic surgery. It ensures that your surgery will reach the best result possible. Diet and exercise can only help improve your surgical outcome as well as promote overall good health.
The time to plan your surgery depends on you. Things to consider are your physical and emotional health. Are you at a good place in your life to undergo this event? Are you prepared to be away from your work and limit other activities? Can you financially afford the cosmetic procedure? carecredit
SURGEON
Check out your surgeon. Dr. Hauge is BOARD CERTIFIED IN PLASTIC SURGERY. This should be your number one requirement when looking for a surgeon to do your procedure. There are physicians who claim to be plastic surgeons or “specialists” in many areas of aesthetics. Often times their "certification" is awarded over a three-day weekend retreat. aaocg.org/index.html
Board Certified Plastic Surgeons around the country are united in their efforts to bring awareness to potential patients regarding the numerous licensed physicians claiming to be "trained or certified" in many cosmetic procedures.
