You should wait till your growth has completed, so you can decide if you need plastic surgery in the first place. Ideally, the different parts of your body should stay the same for at least a year before you consider any physical changes to it through surgery.

You should have a specific idea of what you want and more importantly, why you want a certain change to your body. This is what will help you to fix a specific part, so you feel happy about it. When you don't know what to fix, you'll simply be trying out different things, and to no avail. It will be a time-consuming, expensive, and emotional rollercoaster ride that will not give you what you want.

First off, insurance companies do not cover cosmetic surgeries unless they are a part of your treatment procedure for some other ailment. This means, you'll have to bear the entire cost of your surgery and this can run into thousands of dollars as cosmetic surgeries are hugely expensive.

Cosmetic surgeries come with their own share of risks and you should be aware of it. Any cosmetic surgery will increase the chances of infection, bleeding, clotting, and more. Also, studies show that 5% of patients tend to be unhappy with any surgery. Given these aspects, it's important you're well-aware of the negative consequences of cosmetic surgery before you decide to take it.

Doctors recommend patients to lead a healthy lifestyle such as eating a healthy life and regular exercise. Plastic surgery should never be a solution for anything that can be done otherwise. For example, if you have excess weight, the best way to get it off is by doing changes to your lifestyle and including more physical activity. Cutting out the extra flesh is never a solution. Even those who undergo plastic surgery are expected to have a BMI under 30, so the body can withstand the strain of the surgery, and can quickly recover from it.

All cosmetic surgeries are not the same and all doctors who perform them are not the same. This is why you'll have to look for a doctor who is certified by the board, has the right experience, comes highly recommended, and is willing to answer all your questions and doubts. Look around for such a doctor and evaluate your options based on the recommendations you get before you finally reach out to a doctor for your plastic surgery.

That is great and shows that you have done your homework. Now all that is left is to execute your plan and hope it ends up being perfect for you.
