How do I know if I am a good candidate to have plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery can dramatically enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. If you consider yourself to be a physically and emotionally healthy person and have realistic expectations from the procedure, you should be a good candidate.

What will happen during the initial consultation?

In your private consultation, you will meet with Dr. H. Seçkin Oksar so you can explain your interests, concerns, and ask a variety of questions. Dr. Oksar will review your medical history and ask you questions in order to understand your condition, goals and concerns. He can also provide reading material about the procedure(s) you are considering.

How long will the recuperation period be? When will I be able to return to work?

The length of time it takes to recuperate after plastic surgery varies depending on the procedure performed and the individual operated on. Most patients will require assistance for the first two days. Most patients are able to care for themselves soon after, but may still need assistance if they have young children to care for. Specific lengths of disability are determined by procedure. Breast augmentation patients can usually get around independently by the second day. They may return to work at 5-7 days if not required to lift more than 15 pounds. These are approximations, and do not include return to exercise. Please ask your doctor.

Do I need antibiotics before and after surgery?

Antibiotics should probably be used when a patient undergoes any procedure in which "bacteria" may be released into the blood stream.
