Am I a Good Plastic Surgery Candidate?

The best candidates for plastic surgery are men and women who are in generally good physical and emotional health but are unhappy with one or more aspects of their body. To be a candidate for plastic surgery, you will need to be a nonsmoker or be willing to quit at least six weeks in advance of your procedure. Quit means quit. Any nicotine you put into your system during recovery – via traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, patches, gum, snuff, or chew – will delay the healing process, increase risks for infection, and increase risks for poor incision healing, which can translate to thick, highly-visible scars.

In addition to being a nonsmoker who is in generally good health, to be a good plastic surgery candidate you should be:

  • Able to take time off from work and household duties while you recover
  • Willing to carefully follow pre and postoperative directions
  • Willing to change your lifestyle to help maintain results in cases of body contouring

Having realistic expectations is also incredibly important. Plastic surgery can enhance and beautify parts of the body you are uncomfortable with and, depending on the procedure, this can translate to improved clothing options, greater range of motion, increased physical comfort, and a boost to self-esteem and confidence. Plastic surgery cannot safely make you look like an entirely different person or alter your figure in such a way as to radically transform your shape.

Board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Harrell follow the patient safety and care guidelines established by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which include responsible use of procedures and techniques. During your initial consultation, Dr. Harrell will openly and honestly talk about the benefits and practical limitations of each procedure you are interested in.
