Self-assessment

Am I ready to consider plastic surgery?

This is an educational reflection tool, not a medical evaluation. Only a qualified surgeon can determine candidacy.

  • Have you already researched a specific procedure?
  • Do you have a target surgery timeline within the next 12 months?
  • Are you in stable general health (no uncontrolled chronic conditions)?
  • Is your weight stable and have you been at your goal weight for at least 6 months?
  • Have you thought about time off work and recovery support at home?
  • Do you have realistic expectations about outcomes and scarring?

If you answered yes to most, a personalized consultation is the appropriate next step.
