Plastic Surgery in Cyprus

Cosmetic surgery is performed to redress, where possible, any anomalies affecting the patient, whatever the cause may be. The ultimate goal is always to improve patient satisfaction and impart confidence.

To avoid disappointment undertaking surgery is inadvisable for those who do not have a clear understanding of their requirements. By agreeing to the operation, patients will need to comply with the necessary restrictions in the first days after the operation where required.

Successful results depend on various elements:

• clinical experience and surgeon’s expertise;
• age, health, skin type, body shape and patient’s curative abilities;
• patient’s motivation.

The success of the operation is affected by both the skill of the plastic surgeon and the client’s expectations.

During the consultation, therefore, the patient should have an understanding of realistic outcomes, and be made aware of any possible complications that may arise although, with proper planning, these are rare.
