Plastic surgery myths I keep seeing in Cyprus groups (and what is actually true)

                                                                                                                                                                           Hi all,I spend a fair bit of time reading Cyprus community threads, and the same myths about cosmetic surgery keep coming up. Here are the ones I see most, with a more realistic take.Myth 1: "Any doctor can do it, so just pick the cheapest."
Not quite. Plastic surgery is a specialty with its own training, so it is worth asking about board certification and how often the surgeon performs your exact procedure. Price matters, but it should not be the only factor.Myth 2: "You decide the procedure on the first visit."
A good consultation is mainly a conversation. You talk about what bothers you, the surgeon explains what is realistic, and you leave with time to think. If someone pushes you to book on the spot, that is a red flag.Myth 3: "Recovery is quick, so I can fly home the next day."
Recovery depends on the procedure. If you are visiting Cyprus, plan follow-up appointments into your trip rather than squeezing surgery in at the end.Myth 4: "Plastic surgery is only cosmetic."
It also covers reconstructive work, such as scar treatment, burns, skin lesions and skin cancer surgery, so some people see a plastic surgeon for medical reasons, not appearance.If you are looking for a Plastic Surgeon Limassol has to offer, Dr Ioannis Georgiou is one name worth checking. He is a board certified plastic surgeon from Limassol who has worked in Cyprus since 2009 and also practises in Nicosia. His clinic begins with a one-on-one consultation before any procedure is planned.Details, if useful:

• Limassol: 79 Archiepiskopou Makariou III, 4003 Mesa Geitonia
• Nicosia: Dikteon Medical Center, 290 Strovolos Avenue, 2048
• Hours: Monday to Friday, 9AM-1PM and 4PM-7PM
• Phone: +357 25 10 77 11 / +357 95 10 77 11

As always, do your own research and meet more than one surgeon before deciding.Any other myths you have come across here? I am curious what people have heard.
