Deciding to get plastic surgery for yourself is one thing. But matching your surgery with your significant other? That’s a whole new ballgame.
Most of the time, couples just decide to get the same procedures for themselves. Other times, they get “inspired” by their partner’s transformation, prompting them to try it as well.
Whatever your motivations may be, here’s a handy checklist to know if you’re ready to make this next-level commitment with your significant other.
Narrow down your choices.
Ask yourselves: What kind of procedure do you want to get?
For most people, beauty matching is as simple as getting anti-aging procedures together. After all, most couples are similar in age so they may also have similar problems, like sagging skin or wrinkles.
It’s also best to go for minimally invasive choices, like Botox or fillers.
Know why you’re doing it.
Are you planning for a big life event, like a wedding or anniversary celebration? Then it’s only normal to want to look your best and try beauty matching. In fact, most couples visit plastic surgeons because they’re preparing for a big life event.
However, some couples take it to the next level and go for plastic surgery because they want to look like each other. There are even others who feel pressured to do so to “save” their relationship.
Examine your motivations first before getting any cosmetic procedure, as this can have lasting and even irreversible consequences. Do it for your own reasons and not your partner’s.
Do your consultations together.
Being together during your consultations allows both of you to ask questions and clarifications about your chosen procedure. This is the best time to know everything you want to know about your upcoming surgery, from the benefits to the risks.
It can also be reassuring, knowing that you have your support system by your side.
You should also discuss your recovery plan after the procedure, especially if both of you will have downtimes.
