Plastic surgery is one of the easiest ways of rectifying ones not so perfect features
in a bid to achieve the perfect look.
You might require a surgical procedure of this type if an accident has left visible
scars on any part of the body. In addition, cosmetic surgery is not a process which is
restricted to the face alone. Processes such as breast implants or liposuction are
also categorised under cosmetic surgical procedures. Broadly therefore, any surgical
procedure for body that aims to alter your physical appearance in any possible way
can be termed as a plastic or a cosmetic surgical procedure. However, any surgical
procedure can have serious repercussions on your health; therefore you need to
evaluate your decision well, before going under the knife.
conclution
Cosmetic surgery does incorporate several positives as well as negatives. You need
to weigh safety of plastic surgery procedures before deciding to opt for them.
cause
1. Its pricey.

Factor in any time you have to take off from work to recover (or hide), and what
youll have to pay for touch-up procedures if youre not happy with the results. Plus,
not all surgery is permanent. Things like breast implants arent forever. According to
the FDA, one in five women will have to have their implants removed within eight to
10 years because of complications. At around $3,000 bucks a pop, youre talking
more than chump change.
2. It can be addictive.

Sure, youll think its just this one time thats probably what Joan said. But
countless plastic surgery addicts have said the same thing. In 2011, Cindy Jackson,
broke the world record for having the most cosmetic procedures. (Yes, theres a
World Record for that.) Jackson, 55 at the time, has spent around $100,000 on
procedures including facelifts, nose jobs, and lipo since she first started in 1988. I
didnt set out to break, to set a world record, it was never my ambition, its just that
I had so much done, she said in an interview with ABC.
Its not an official diagnosis, psychiatrist Katharine Phillips at Rhode Islands Butler
Hospital told People. But certainly patients can feel very driven to get cosmetic
procedures; that it is their only hope. According to Phillips, while body dysmorphic
disorder affects under 5 percent of Americans, it affects up to 15 percent of
cosmetic surgery patients.
Think about when you try to dye your hair and dont like the results. What do you
do? You try to fix it with more hair dye. More often than not, the results just arent
pretty.
Like you diligently read the warning labels on medications and beauty products (we
hope), so should you be aware of the risks related to cosmetic procedures. You may
not have known, but pre-existing conditions, like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or
even a smoking habit, can all interfere and cause complications, putting your health
at risk. According to the Mayo Clinic, there are multiple risks, as with any surgery.
Scars, nerve damage, infections, and blood clots are all possible complications.
Breast implants in particular can have a multitude of complications. While you may
expect larger, perkier, more attractive breasts, asymmetry, deflation, or rippling can
occur, worsening the appearance. And if youre seeking a quick fix for your
saddlebags, liposuction likely wont remove your fat forever. A 2011 study at the
University of Colorado Denver found the fat you lose, often rebounds just a year
later, and reappears with a vengeance, particularly on your tummy and arms. Yeesh.
A study by the Aesthetic Surgery Institute found that just under a third of patients
were unhappy with some aspect of their facelift. A Norwegian study found that
adolescent girls who underwent cosmetic surgery were more likely to show
symptoms of anxiety and depression, which researchers concluded, means cosmetic
surgery wont fix any underlying mental health problems which drive you to it.
Plus if things wind up poorly, chances are, you might be even unhappier than you
were to start with.
Nobody is completely happy with their body. Some bits are too small, too big, wonky
or unusual colours and its easy to develop insecurities. A few years ago, you just
had to deal with it. But since the rise of plastic surgery, almost anything can be
trimmed, enlarged or relocated, until youve got your ideal body. But is it really
worth going under the knife? Heres five reasons why we say, NO!
1. Its dangerous
Surgery is surgery, regardless of what its for. Whilst getting bigger boobs is rarely a
matter of life and death, it still exposes you to post-operative risks. Theres a small
chance of dying under sedation, which is present in any operation. Youre also at
risk from blood clots, nerve damage, scars and infections. Dont undergo surgery
unless you absolutely have to.
2. It isnt permanent
Despite what celebrities might tell you, cosmetic surgery wont last forever. Take
liposuction, for example. Whilst its an easy way to ditch that muffin top, without
killing yourself at the gym, the fat can rebuild itself within a year. Likewise, 1 in 5
women will need their breast implants removed, due to complications, and even
more will experience sagging, rippling and deflation.
3. Its expensive
Since cosmetic surgery is elective, it isnt covered by the NHS, unless you can spin it
as a life-saving operation. Obviously, few can, so expect to part with some serious
money. Were talking thousands here. Breast augmentation averages around 2000,
whereas tummy tucks are over 5000. On top of that, youve got lost income from
recovering, and any touch-up operations after youve healed. Considering cosmetic
surgery isnt permanent (see above), its a hefty bill, for little pay-off.
4. Its difficult to stop
Weve all seen those celebrity mugshots, filled with puffy lips, blackened eyes and
shiny, plastic-looking cheeks. People always ask how they could do that to
themselves. Well, its easier than you think. Like a lot of body modification, plastic
surgery is addictive, as people use it to overcome insecurities. More often than not,
they arent happy with the results, so they pay for more surgery to fix it. Before they
know it, their face is more plastic than skin.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately, our own eyes are a lot
more critical. We often see flaws that nobody else does, and exaggerate them to
insane proportions. Sometimes, its mostly in your head. Thats why a lot of doctors
will recommend psychiatric evaluations before cosmetic surgery, since its safer to
change your outlook, than get sliced open. Only opt for plastic surgery if its your
only choice. Explore all other avenues first.
Tidak ada yang benar-benar senang dengan tubuh mereka. Beberapa bit terlalu
kecil, terlalu besar, warna miring atau tidak biasa dan mudah untuk
mengembangkan rasa tidak aman. Beberapa tahun yang lalu, Anda hanya harus
menghadapinya. Tapi sejak bangkitnya operasi plastik, hampir semuanya bisa
dipangkas, diperbesar atau direlokasi, sampai Anda memiliki tubuh ideal Anda. Tapi
apakah itu benar-benar layak di bawah pisau? Inilah lima alasan mengapa kita
berkata, TIDAK!
1. Ini berbahaya
Pembedahan adalah operasi, terlepas dari apa itu untuk. Sementara mendapatkan
payudara lebih besar jarang masalah hidup dan mati, namun tetap menghadapkan
Anda pada risiko pasca operasi. Ada kemungkinan kecil untuk mati di bawah sedasi,
yang hadir dalam operasi apapun. Anda juga berisiko terkena gumpalan darah,
kerusakan saraf, bekas luka dan infeksi. Jangan menjalani operasi kecuali jika Anda
benar-benar harus melakukannya.
3. Ini mahal
Karena operasi kosmetik adalah pilihan, tidak tercakup oleh NHS, kecuali jika Anda
dapat memutarnya sebagai operasi penyelamatan kehidupan. Jelas, sedikit yang
bisa, jadi berharap bisa berpisah dengan sejumlah uang yang serius. Kita berbicara
ribuan di sini. Payudara augmentasi rata-rata sekitar 2000, sedangkan perut
melipat lebih dari 5000. Selain itu, Anda telah kehilangan pendapatan sejak pulih,
dan operasi sentuhan setelah Anda sembuh. Mengingat operasi kosmetik tidak
permanen (lihat di atas), ini adalah tagihan yang lumayan, untuk sedikit melunasi.
