Are you a good candidate for plastic surgery?
Who plastic surgery works best for, when doctors advise against it, and what an honest pre-assessment should cover.
Who it works best for
Good candidates are at or near a stable weight, non-smoking (or willing to stop 4–6 weeks around surgery), medically screened, and pursuing a specific change for themselves — not a life fix. Board-certified surgeons will defer anyone mid-weight-loss or recently pregnant.
When to hold off
Unmanaged chronic conditions, unrealistic expectations and active infections are the usual reasons a responsible surgeon defers treatment. A clinic that never says no is a warning sign — GetClinic clinics review your photos and history before any commitment.
