Following, we present the final part of the article: the next 5 questions you must ask before making any decision:

6- What are my expectations about the results of my surgery?
This is, possibly, one of the most importan factors in order to get a successful surgery. You must ask yourself honestly, what are you looking for, and what you expect to get when you undergo a plastic surgery. Your own opinion is different from other people's. You can't make your decision only because your best friend or your husband/wife tell you to do it. The need and the desire for those results must be truly yours. You must have thought about how you want to look after the surgery, and you MUST discuss it with your surgeon all the times you think it's necessary. Don't make your decision based on temporary fashion models. You can get a big disappointment. You must talk to your doctor, and he/she will tell you what results can really be achieved.

7- Will I stay hospitalized after my surgery?
Plastic surgery advances in a very fast way. Some surgeries, which years ago required several days or weeks of hospitalization, have become in routine, ambulatory procedures. This doesn't mean that post-operatory cares are not required or important. You must discuss it with your surgeon. If you are undergoing a major surgery, your doctor will probably have you hospitalized. If it is important to you to stay hospitalized, discuss it with your doctor, he will inform you about the convenience and the risks of doing or not doing it.

8- Must I chek my general health status before the surgery?
This point is fundamental, and many times it is ignored by the patient, and in some cases even by the surgeon.  It is very important that you undergo the laboratory tests and exams indicated by your doctor, and complementary tests (Electrocardiogram, thorax X-rays, etc.). With these exams results you must visit your physician, who will read them and make you a general physical exam, in order to verify you have an adequate health. Only if your physician certifies you are in an optimal health, you should continue with your surgery process. Otherwise, your health, and even your life can be jeopardized. If you are thinking about having your surgery in other country, make sure you have ideal health conditionsto travel and to get your surgery done. Preferably, have all your exams taken in your country.

9- Is it safe to get my surgery done in a foreign country?
