If you think that you ask yourself any of the above questions, please discuss them with your surgeon or clinician. ASET Hospital’s Emotional Well-Being Team would offer you their utmost support before, during and after surgery or procedure. Our team wouldn’t take the decision on your behalf. Instead, they would support you to take the right decision even if that decision is not to have surgery or cosmetic procedure. They would also support you to deal with any emotional stress during the time of surgery. More importantly, they would support you to go through the post-op period, handle the dramatic change in facial/body appearance and cope with any unexpected surgical complications or less than favourite cosmetic results.
