Surgery Mindset

Modern plastic surgery is quite safe. All of our procedures boast impressive safety records, and you can undergo surgery with the confidence to know that we will protect your health and well-being at all points.

However, surgery is still surgery, and many of our procedures are quite significant. And major plastic surgery puts a major strain on your psyche.

Take the tummy tuck as a simple example. This procedure will dramatically tone and tighten your abdominal muscles, which makes it quite popular. But it requires multiple days of recovery, another couple weeks of swelling and mild discomfort and the results won’t fully materialize for months after the procedure.

All of these takes can take a toll on your mental health. You have to deal with some discomfort, plus the uncertainty that comes from not immediately seeing results, all while being unable to distract yourself with work and other responsibilities.

This can be tough if you’re not prepared for it. That’s why Dr. Erella is committed to ensuring that you are prepared. Before you undergo your procedure, we will walk you through every step of the process and ensure you have a complete understanding of what to expect. In our experience, an informed patient is a relaxed patient, and a relaxed patient is a happy patient.

We’ll talk to you about your cosmetic goals and what you hope to achieve with surgery. We want to ensure you have sound expectations before moving forward with any procedure.
