Gifting Plastic Surgery Treatments is Gaining Popularity in America
More and more couples are considering plastic surgery as the
ultimate gift. However, The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS) advises that it is important to weigh the risks and
benefits of any aesthetic procedure, as well as choosing the surgeon,
and setting that are right for you.
There are benefits to coming in for a consultation with a loved one,
but decisions about individual surgeries should only be made by the
person who is going to undergo the procedure. Additionally, couples who
are both undergoing procedures should time their surgeries so that the
other person can be available to care for their partner when they have
surgery.
"Couples that come in together for a consultation can learn about
all of the factors involved in elective surgery and can learn how to
care for each other during recovery. However, we need to remind people
that aesthetic surgery should never be given as a ’surprise gift,’"
said Julius Few, MD, Chair of the Public Education Committee for the
Aesthetic Society.
