"If you are considering plastic surgery, you
must be honest with yourself. Exactly why do you want surgery?
And, what are your goals for surgery - what do you expect plastic
surgery to do for you?
This brochure will provide you with a basic understanding
of the psychological issues involved with plastic surgery. Because
the changes resulting from plastic surgery are often dramatic and
permanent, it's important that you have a clear understanding of
how surgery might make you feel - long before a procedure is scheduled.
It can't answer all your questions, since your individual circumstances
and your self-image must be considered. Ask your surgeon if there
is anything you don't understand about the possible psychological
aspects and effects of your planned procedure."
This symbol designates surgeons who are active
