Are You a Candidate For Cosmetic Surgery?

​In general, you are a good candidate for cosmetic surgery if you are a nonsmoker and are physically and emotionally healthy. You should continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle and understand the risks, inconvenience, discomfort and financial costs prior to making a decision to have cosmetic surgery.

Be sure to speak with your surgeon about your complete medical history. This helps ensure that you don’t have any conditions that will severely complicate the surgery. Call (707) 968-0800 to find out if you're a candidate for cosmetic surgery.
