This book contains information simply to tell what you need to know before and after cosmetic surgery for a successful treatment experience. In today's world, whether we like it or not, appearance is important. An unsatisfactory appearance, which can be a result of any of a number of factors, can have severe consequences on the day-to-day life of the individual. The major factors that have an impact upon appearance are heredity and aging. When it comes to genetics, of course, different people have different experiences. Everyone's features are different, and in some cases these features are a source of trouble for the individual. Facial features aren't the only thing affected by heredity. While most people may have the idea that body shape can be largely controlled via diet and exercise, the fact is that some people accumulate fat more in some areas than others. This means that, even with a healthy diet and extensive, targeted exercise, most people have a hard time eliminating excess fat from particular areas; common ones include the abdomen, thighs, and below the chin. Aging, naturally, is something that affects everyone, and time makes its mark on virtually every area of the body. In many cases, cosmetic surgery is the only way to tackle these issues effectively. Luckily, the progress of technologies and techniques means that cosmetic surgery is actually a convenient way of tackling these issues. Virtually all visual issues can be addressed using cosmetic surgery.
