You are probably NOT a good candidate for Plastic Surgery if:

• You can only accept a PERFECT result

• You have unrealistic expectations. Plastic surgery won’t make you look like a model, fix a broken marriage or romance, or guarantee a better job
• You are in poor health and the risks of surgery and anesthesia outweigh the benefits
• You’ve had multiple plastic surgery procedures before and continue to be dissatisfied with the outcome
• You are having plastic surgery to please someone else
• You have body dysmorphic disorder
• You cannot give yourself the “downtime” required to heal
