Telling your partner, or anyone significant in your life, about your plastic surgery procedure is a very personal decision. If you wish to tell those closest to you, you should. We have seen many spouses, friends, and/or family members playing an integral role in the entire process of our patients’ plastic surgery experiences: from the initial consultation to the final day of recovery.
Telling Others vs. Keeping It Private
Including your loved ones in your journey can provide you with a significant source of support and encouragement, which can be invaluable. However, if you wish to keep the matter private, that is is also your right to do so. Respecting your boundaries and wishes is a priority. Some patients choose to undergo the process with only the confidence of our professional medical staff, ensuring their journey remains confidential.
Reflecting on the Decision to Get Plastic Surgery
If you are still deciding on whether to keep your procedure private or not, it is best to spend some time reflecting on why you are having plastic surgery in the first place. If you are comfortable talking about the procedure, even the more intimate procedures, with your partner, your friends, and/or your family members, then perhaps you should go ahead and tell them. They can often provide a wealth of support and encouragement through your plastic surgery journey.
For some patients, it might be better to wait until your treatment is over to talk to your loved ones. This can allow you to make the decision yourself, without outside influences. Still, some of our patients choose to keep their procedure to themselves, telling no one. The reasoning here could be that the ones closest to them may not support their decision.
