A surgery should be performed when there is a precise indication for it. It is during the appointment with the plastic surgeon, depending on the patient’s clinical history and physical examination, that the appropriate surgical procedure is determined.

A reconstructive plastic surgery is often an emergency. Aesthetic plastic surgery is an elective act that should be carried out when the patient is motivated, and is a deep aspiration to improve one or more areas of the body. It can never be a whim or an ill-considered act.
