Beauty Encyclopedia Tips:
Plastic surgery is a rigorous medical practice and should be performed under the premise of fully understanding one's own physical condition, adaptability of the surgical project and the recovery process. It is recommended to choose a medical institution with formal qualifications and have it performed by a professional physician with a practicing license to avoid blindly following trends and believing in unofficial propaganda. Every operation has its own risks. Preoperative communication, standardized intraoperative operation and postoperative care are all indispensable. Maintaining a good attitude and scientific expectations is the first step towards beauty.
