Ask Dr. Perkins – Santa Barbara Cosmetic Surgeon

Q. Dear Dr. Perkins, I thought I was ready for plastic surgery, but the more I read, the more doubts I have. My friends think that I’m not quite ready for surgery. Should I wait to come in for a consultation until I am sure that I am ready?

A. Great question. Plastic surgery, whether you live in Santa Barbara, Palm Desert, Arizona or anywhere is a very personal choice and a life decision. It is best to make decisions based on options, so I suggest you come in for a consultation to address your specific concerns so they can be evaluated and a overall plan discussed with you. These days, there are so many non-surgical options that can be used to postpone the need for surgery that I like to talk to patients about too.

I perform cosmetic surgery in Santa Barbara, Ca, and I founded Evolutions Medical Spa Santa Barbara to offer the latest surgical alternatives, technology and innovative cosmetic surgery choices to women and men wanting to improve their personal appearance. There are a lot of options when it comes to enhancement – a consultation is a great way to help facilitate your cosmetic choices.

Keep posting questions and remember, the more you know, the better decisions you will make about plastic surgery.
