Cosmetic surgery always carries the risk of pvc threaded factory an unhappy patient. Your plastic surgeon has likely spent a lot of time talking to you about this fact and looking at the risk that you will be unhappy with your results. A recent study published in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery indicated that there are certain factors that may indicated how happy a patient will be with his or her results, specifically when it comes to facial cosmetic surgery.The study, which was actually performed in 2007, surveyed 51 patients who underwent surgery at the same cosmetic surgery center. Patients were asked to evaluate their feelings about the procedure their plastic surgeon performed, rating their optimism or pessimism on their outcomes. They were then followed up with four to six months later to answer the same questions.

The four surgeons who did the procedures also weighed in on the surgeries.The results were interesting. Patients age 53 and older seemed to have greater satisfaction about their results than those who were younger. The authors of the study indicated that this may point to the fact that older patients are more realistic about what they can expect form surgery than younger patients. Younger patients may have too high of expectations about the change surgery will provide.Interestingly, patients who were on depression treatment indicated they were happier with their results than those who were not. The reason behind this does not seem to be obvious, because depression treatment or lack thereof does not seem to indicate a reason for being happy with the work of your plastic surgeon, yet the indicator was still there. Interestingly, patients and surgeons seemed to have the same level of satisfaction about the procedures. In cases where patients were not satisfied, neither was the plastic surgeon who performed the treatment.

In fact, the surgeons seemed to have a bit more pessimism about their work than the patients.It is important to note that these results applied directly to facial cosmetic surgery. It is possible that other branches of the craft would have different patient factors to consider. Patients who are considering other types of surgery may wish to find a study relevant to that particular treatment. So what does this mean for the industry as a whole? Surgeons who are helping patients decide whether or not to have surgery can lean on this information to help them predict how happy the patient will be with his or her results. Studies seem to show that the older a patient is, the more likely it is that he will be happy with the results. Similarly, the patients who are on treatment for depression are more likely to be happy. This does not mean that surgeons should not treat other patients, but they perhaps should better prepare them for realistic outcomes from surgery. The goal of any plastic surgeon should be to thoroughly prepare his or her patient for what to expect form surgery, and these factors can help them in this regard.
