Before surgery, a series of assessments and tests will be performed, which may include:
- Review of medical history
- Physical examination
- Blood tests
- Imaging (if required)
- Evaluation of medications, allergies, and lifestyle factors
- Risk assessment to ensure suitability for anaesthesia and surgery
These evaluations help the surgeon create a safe, personalised treatment plan tailored to your health needs.
Your surgeon will review your medical history and perform any necessary tests to ensure you are fit for surgery. Following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions and disclosing any existing health conditions is essential to reduce risks.
All surgeries carry some level of risk, but serious complications are rare. Staying healthy and avoiding smoking before and after surgery helps make the procedure safer.
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, each patient’s pain tolerance, and overall health. In general:
- Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks for routine daily activities.
- Physically demanding work or exercise usually requires 4–6 weeks of recovery.
Taking time off to rest properly is important for the best results. The recovery can differ for each patient, so it’s important to follow your surgeon’s guidance throughout the healing process.
Scars after plastic surgery vary depending on the procedure, your skin type, and healing ability. They may appear red and slightly raised at first, but usually fade over time and become less noticeable. The size, color, and texture of scars also depend on the surgical technique and the area treated.
