More and more people are turning to cosmetic surgery as a way to tidy up bits of their body they have never liked:  from nose and boob jobs to tummy tucks.   If you are unhappy about any aspect of your appearance, cosmetic surgery can often bring a real improvement and boost your self-confidence.

Although having breast enlargement or a face-lift may make you feel better, it is unlikely to get you the job of your dreams or rescue a failing relationship.

Plastic surgery has become very popular in recent years and is now more accessible and no longer only for the rich. With all the articles and TV programmes it seems as straightforward as arranging a day at a health farm, but before you proceed make sure you think through what you want to achieve from the treatment, and what it will do for you realistically.  The most important thing is not to rush into cosmetic surgery as it can be one of the biggest life changes you will ever experience.

Just remember that cosmetic surgery:

• Can be very expensive
• Comes with  risks and complications
• Does not always give the results you hope for

With all this in mind we have written a step-by-step guide covering the most important points you should consider before having any type of cosmetic treatment or surgery. This is to help you prepare for the initial consultation with your surgeon so that you ask right questions on important factors including realistic results, recovery time and associated risks.
