American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS): Plastic surgery is real surgery and presents many risks and complications. Individuals seeking plastic surgery should be prepared to ask important questions concerning
pre-operative/post-operative care and follow-up. Mutual and realistic goals (between patient and surgeon) should be addressed and established before any procedure.

Judy has been promoting plastic surgery safety in her local community and on a national level for over 10 years. She has prepared a plastic surgery safety checklist that includes the importance of consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Plastic Surgery Support

Jesse Collins: Specializing in plastic surgery consulting: While plastic surgery outcomes are usually focused on the visible changes to the body, the most powerful forces involved are often psychological. Some candidates may be physically appropriate for surgery and psychological issues can make surgery inappropriate.

Psychological assessment of candidates and provision of therapeutic support pre and post surgery are recommended by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Jesse Collins, a therapist specializing in self esteem issues in Tampa, Fl provides psychological support services for those considering plastic surgery, and can be contacted at: www.counseling-concepts.org. Jesse shares Judy's vision of providing potential plastic surgery clients with the best possible outcomes via informed choices.
