Any decent cosmetic surgeon will tell you that healthy patients have more successful surgery outcomes. That’s why surgeons often decline to operate on a patient who engages in unhealthy habits. Such patients – smokers for example -  face an increased risk of complications like delayed healing.

Patients who are interested in cosmetic and facial plastic surgery first go through a sort of ‘lifestyle makeover,’ modifying their habits until they have reached a satisfactory state of health. At Edds Cosmetic Surgery, we want our patients to have the best experience and outcome possible, so we ask them to focus on this first. The ideal patient refrains from smoking or using illegal drugs, has a stable weight, and realistic expectations about cosmetic surgery.
