Cosmetic surgery is definitely not for everyone. You will read that in every book and article you find, and it's the truth. Prevailing health conditions may prevent some people from being a candidate for this type of surgery. Surgeons may be able to work around some health problems but not all of them. You need to tell your doctor the truth about everything you take medicinally or socially, no matter how foolish you may feel about being judged. In fact, tell the truth about everything from your age, current medical condition, to why you want the surgery. The life you save could be your own.

You must also get to the core of what is driving you to seek cosmetic surgery.  Was it something someone said? Were you shown a recent photograph where you felt that you looked as old as your parents do? Are you afraid of losing your job or being passed over for a promotion by someone younger? Is it leftover business from your childhood? Ghosts and other fears like these must be identified and released before any positive decisions can be made. The doctor you actually need to see first may be a therapist, not a surgeon. If you feel certain this very moment that you are medically, emotionally, and physically sound, and that you are making this decision to have cosmetic surgery with reasonable expectations, you might be a candidate. I say "might" because there is more soul searching to come.
