Seriously Doc, What is Cosmetic Surgery



Cosmetic surgery started after World War I on injured soldiers. These days, people have cosmetic surgery for many reasons including a defect, to restore or reconstruct body structure, or to improve physical features. The most popular cosmetic surgeries are liposuction, laser facial resurfacing, hair replacement, and face lifts. The cost for cosmetic surgery ranges from $150 for microdermabrasion to $9000 for a lower body lift. About 12 million cosmetic surgery procedures were performed last year which is a 444 percent increase since 1997. Currently the most frequent procedure performed is Breast Augmentation. Recovery times for procedures differ but range from no down time to up to four weeks. There are risk associated with cosmetic surgery including psychological, mental, social, and unsatisfactory results. Contradicting these are the rewards of cosmetic surgery including psychological, social, professional, and quality of life. Before having cosmetic surgery, always do your homework and research all of the risk and benefits from the specific procedure. Also, when choosing a physician, research their background, credentials, and references. The price of the surgery may vary significantly among surgeons but you may find information that explains that outcome. Confer with the surgeon you chose before making a decision on cosmetic surgery and ask any questions that you have unanswered. When you have chosen a surgeon and decided on the surgery, always follow the surgeons pre-op and post-op directions for the best outcome.

It wasn't long ago when, if you said you were going to have cosmetic surgery, it was simply assumed that you would be going into an operating room and having general anesthesia. These procedures have their own dangers and anytime the process involves general anesthesia there is always the risk of death. As we become more and more advanced medically there are always changes and efforts in improving any side effects or dangers.

One of the first concerns someone who is inquiring about facial cosmetic surgery is scarring. After all, the surgery is being done TO the face, what are the chances of ending up with scars? Of course, with this kind of surgery all efforts are made to hide the tiny lines where the incision was made. The second biggest concern is about nerve damage. With facial cosmetic surgery especially, there is always a risk of cutting the nerves in the face and it could leave a patient with permanent or partial paralysis. As with other surgeries there is the heightened
risk of excessive bleeding, infections that can occur after the surgery and blood clots. It is imperative that the patient be in good health before any procedure is discussed and after the surgery, the patient's temperature should be closely monitored, in case there is a sign of an infection, it can be addressed immediately.

One of the reasons facial cosmetic surgery has always been viewed as a benefit for the rich and famous is because of the cost. Most insurance companies will not pay for any kind of elective cosmetic surgery and it is also difficult to get them to pay when there is a physical reason for the surgery, like a cleft palate or a harelip. The increases in numbers of people who have sought out the gifts of a plastic surgeon are influenced by the drop in pricing for the procedures. Due to the medical advances made in the field of cosmetic surgery, and the less likely a patient is needed to have a full operating room, general anesthesia experience, the more affordable the procedures have become.

In the past few years with the increase in popularity in procedures such as Botox or collagen injections, where there is only the requirement of a series of needles and solutions that are injected into the face, the demand has become almost the norm.

One final concern that should be addressed before someone investigates the options of cosmetic surgery is the psychological issues and effects the experience can stir up. Unfortunately, it is not a rare occurrence for someone to become addicted to the effects of plastic surgery and there have been numerous cases where once on surgeon has refused to do any more surgical work on a patient, they have found another surgeon who will do it.
There is an addictive component that should not be ignored and should be explored before, during and after any plastic surgery.

The surgery may only take a few minutes but the results last a lifetime and it is irresponsible, in my opinion, for surgeons to not follow up with patients. Search Can Plastic Surgery Get Rid Of Cellulite
