- Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure we strongly advise that you communicate that you will be having surgery with your immediate family. Full communication with family members on aesthetic concepts and judgment is strongly advised.
- Cosmetic surgery may be unable to produce the exact result that you expect. It is not clone technology but more an art form. Please be aware that cosmetic surgery is not able to change your lifestyle, marriage, profession, or human relationships. Such desires cannot be achieved through cosmetic surgery alone.
Additionally, individuals who are seeking perfection such as in the symmetry of the eyes and nose are not advised to take surgery. Those who are overly emotional or unstable, are not advised to take surgery.
It is advised that those patients who are scar sensitive should not take surgery. This is due to that fact that current medical technology cannot be performed without some minimal scaring. The scar is also not only on the surface of the skin but also in the skin tissue. This is one if the factors which may result in a none perfect symmetry result. Obviously, over time all scars fade. Those patients who cannot tolerate any scaring should not undergo the elative surgery.

In addition, directly before the operation you will have a further pre-surgery design in the operation room with the surgeon , who will use a marker pen on the operation area to highlight what procedures will be carried out. The surgeon will also explain where you will be cut and where any scars may be placed. Once again your procedure menu will be described to you in detail.

| 3) | Please note that no face is completely symmetrical. As all individuals display asymmetrical features, please do not expect total perfection. It is impossible to obtain. This is especially so for those patients who are having revision surgery whose tissue has previously been cut. Veriteclinic will do its upmost to produce a pleasing result but total perfection currently does not exist in cosmetic surgery. This is especially so in revision Rhinopasty. Also be aware that surgery to one part of the face will often highlight imperfections in other facial features. An objective and unemotional mindset is essential when evaluating procedures.

After Surgery
Following surgery it is imperative that you are patient and calm. Time will be needed before your final result can be seen. Swelling and brushing are totally natural. Even when all bruising has diminishes and signs if swelling reduced, your skin is still healing and transforming and reshaping itself to the finished result.
Patience is essential during the post operative phase. It can be an emotional time for some and others may experience post operative depression. This is totally natural and will pass in time. During the recovery phase Veriteclinic will do its upmost to assist and answer any concerns you may raise. However, some detailed requests can only be dealt with by the surgeon.
So we recommend you make a post check reservation and visit the clinic for such matters.
Post Surgery Infections
Please note after certain procedures patients may experience some levels of infection which can be due to a weak immunity system. For instance taking a long flight following surgery will put some patients at risk of getting infections. We recommend that you refrain from alcohol, smoking and excessive exercise for at least one month following surgery. If infections occur, please return to Veriteclinic for Antibiotic treatment. If oversees please visit your local hospital.
Post Surgery Check Up
Please ensure that you arrive at Veriteclinic on time for your post operative check ups. Failure to do so will cause you unnecessary delays.
Additionally, if you need extra surgery care, for instance staying overnight at the clinic an additional fee will be applied.
Stitch removal is ideally done at Veriteclinic usually 7 or 10 or 14 days after surgery. Those patients who cannot stay in Japan for such duration will have to go to a local Doctor in their home countries who can take care of this procedure at their own expense.
