Cosmetic surgery is aimed at achieving improvement, not perfection and it is very important to approach such surgery with realistic expectations. Given this, patients undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures are highly likely to be extremely satisfied with their results. The improvements derived from cosmetic procedures can be life changing. These include elevation of self confidence and self esteem and feelings of well being. Some find their professional prospects are improved or maintained.

Cosmetic Surgery is a form of plastic and reconstructive surgery, being born from the developments of this discipline. Its roots are therefore from ancient times when surgery was devised to improve appearance following traumatic or congenital defects. Thorough understanding of general surgical principles and anatomy are essential to the safe and quality practice of cosmetic surgery.
