14 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER GET PLASTIC SURGERY

episode 2

Some people turn to plastic surgery to correct a physical defect or to alter a part of the body that makes them feel uncomfortable. Plastic surgery can be used to repair: abnormalities that have existed from birth, such as a cleft lip and palate, webbed fingers, and birthmarks. areas damaged by the removal of cancerous tissue, such as from the face or breast. extensive burns or other serious injuries but Plastic surgery procedures can result in complications ranging from an unattractive or unnatural final result to scarring or even death . Girls who undergo cosmetic surgery are also more likely to have sustained injury from cutting themselves. Below are some risks , complications and side effects of plastic surgery .

• It’s expensive

This is because there are more fees involved and most insurance policies cover necessary medical procedures but for most patients, the plastic surgery costs are too much to pay at once.

• Hematoma

The incidence of hematomas in aesthetic surgical procedures varies, and is influenced by a myriad of factors. These include patient factors such as hypertension and medication intake such as blood thinners, surgical factors such as operative technique, as well as perioperative and postoperative care.

• Seroma

Surgery causes damage to the blood and lymph vessels and surrounding tissue. An inflammatory response occurs, and the severed vessels and tissues will produce clear fluid in response. This is why there is pain and swelling after surgery. In some cases, the fluid forms a pocket, which leads to the formation of a seroma.

• Nerve Damage

Nerve damage can occur with any plastic surgery procedure. 1 Injury occurs if nerves are stretched, cut, or cauterized. Nerve damage includes a spectrum from sensory nerve deficits (numbness and tingling sensation) to motor nerve deficits (weakness or paralysis of certain muscles).

• Can be addictive

Plastic surgery addiction is a behavioral disorder which causes a person to want to constantly change their appearance by undergoing plastic surgery. This disorder may cause someone to spend thousands of dollars on multiple operations, all of which may not ultimately make them any happier. The desire for plastic surgery often arises from the insecurity that people feel about how they look. This is a normal emotion that everybody occasionally experiences. However, when insecurity becomes obsessive and plastic surgery becomes the center of a person’s life, there is a serious problem. Eventually, a person might begin to structure their life around upcoming operations and begin to rely on plastic surgery as the source of their self-esteem. Once someone has this dangerous mindset, they may develop an addiction and be unable to stop applying for procedures. Even when surgeons refuse to operate on them, they may find less-qualified doctors to perform riskier operations and, in extreme cases, they may attempt surgery on themselves.

• Organ Damage

Organ damage — organ perforation can occur during many plastic surgery procedures. The equipment used to perform liposuction may especially put patients at risk for organ damage. Deep vein thrombosis — some procedures raise the risk of DVT, which involves the formation of a blood clot in deep veins .

• Nausea and Vomiting

This is most often the result of a response to the anesthesia. It is more likely to occur with general anesthesia. It is also more common in women, children, and overweight or anxious patients, and following any facial procedure.

• Infections

This is because the skin acts as a barrier, keeping bacteria out of the body. When the skin is damaged, bacteria may be allowed to enter, potentially causing an infection to occur. Some possible ways in which bacteria may be introduced into an incision after plastic surgery include: Bacteria may enter from the air.

• Scarring

One of the most common worries on patients’ minds when it comes to plastic surgery is that their procedure may leave a scar. No patient wants a scar, but they are often a consequence of many surgical procedures.

• Risk of death

Cosmetic procedures rarely result in death, but liposuction involving large volumes of fat is one of the highest-risk practices. Procedures involving more than six liters of liposuction usually require a blood transfusion, which can dramatically increase the associated risks.

• Unhappy with the results

Cosmetic surgery doesn’t solve all problems, It’s a quick fix of body parts they’re dissatisfied with but the effects aren’t as far-reaching as some people seem to expect. Women with cosmetic improvements might be happy with the results, but ultimately, they do not rate their own mirror image any better than they used to. Cosmetic surgery has a minimal effect on people’s self-image .

• Worsens mental health

They found that girls who decide to undergo cosmetic surgery are on average more depressed and anxious than those who do not. They are also more prone to suicide. It seems like those who get cosmetic surgery have more problems than others and after the surgeries, their symptoms of depression, anxiety, eating disorders and excessive alcohol consumption have increased. Getting plastic surgery to improve one’s appearance might seem like a quick and efficient remedy, but when their lives fail to improve, their mental health problems might worsen — perhaps because of the disappointment. In a 2003 study, Finnish researchers looked at causes of death among women with breast implants and found that there was an excess of suicide in their sample. It’s OK to change what you’re dissatisfied with, but life is not necessarily going to get better.

• Blood clots

These complications are relatively uncommon, affecting only 0.09 percent of all patients undergoing plastic surgery. However, these clots can be fatal. Abdominoplasty procedures have a slightly higher rate of DVT and PE, affecting under 1 percent of patients.

• Doesn’t last forever

Everyone hopes that their treatment will offer permanent results but sadly, this is not always true, especially when it comes to facial procedures. While facial plastic surgery can provide long-lasting results, they are not necessarily going to be with you forever. Most men and women opt for facial plastic surgery and facial non-surgical procedures to turn back the hands of time. Anti-aging techniques make up the large subgroup of all facial cosmetic treatments. Wrinkles, skin laxity, and volume loss are all inevitable signs of aging that can be treated with a facelift, eyelid, and brow lift surgery. Procedures help to slow down the clock, not stop it.
