5 things to know before going for cosmetic surgery

Different factors cause a change in body shape and size. For some, it may be a result of dietary lifestyle, and for others, hormonal changes.

If you have decided to look the way of cosmetic surgery in order to correct these changes, then read on because there is something you need to know.

The period before your cosmetic surgery comes with a lot of feeling; Anxiety, nervousness, excitement, fear, just to mention a few. And because, in most cases, the change that is associated with cosmetic surgery is usually permanent, it is therefore important to be informed about certain factors before going for the procedure.

Below, you will find a number of things that you should bear in mind to be properly prepared for your session.

Do not over expect: it is normal to have a pictured after-effect of the procedure. However, you shouldn’t have too much expectation towards it. Cosmetic surgeries are meant to enhance or improve one's appearance and not completely change the look.

Cost: cosmetic surgery can be quite expensive and most times, it is not covered by health insurance. You obviously don't want to spend a large chunk of your saving on the procedure. Consider the cost of the surgery and other follow-up checks that will be done; this will help you to be better prepared.

Choosing your surgeon: if you want an excellent result then you should use the service of professionals. Be sure that the surgeon is certified and has a good background record in the field. Go for a surgeon who specializes in that particular cosmetic procedure and one that you will be comfortable working with.

Know that there are risks: Although some surgeons guarantee complete success for most of these procedures, it is vital that you know the risks and complications. The result may not also be as expected so you should be prepared for such occurrences.

Time: the period between the start of the procedure to complete recovery may take days, weeks, or even months. Therefore, such procedures should be done when you are assured that there is enough time for the whole process to be completed.

It is noteworthy that, cosmetic surgery should not be based on a search for social acceptance or elevated self-esteem. The procedure cannot change who you are, it only functions on appearance, not personality.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
