Cosmetic Surgery Should Be Done For The Right Reasons

Although, there might be some truth in such statements however, one can wonder if it’s worth the possible risk and complications that comes with cosmetic surgery. “There is a chance of infection, bruising or bleeding with any procedure.” said Nigel Mercer, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Some additional risks involved in cosmetic surgery are blood clots, scarring, bleeding, hematoma, nerve damage, and even death. (Mayo Clinic.) These complications are more likely to occur among patients who undergo multiple procedures at the same time. The procedure with the highest risk Liposuction involves the highest risk because it involves removing the excess fat from the body. There is also a chance of permanent facial nerve damage, especially during facelift surgery.

Surgeries in themselves are complicated procedures. Weighing positive and negative outcomes and every in between possibility is a task every surgeon and patient must talk through. Many procedures are based off a necessary for life, or a better healthier-life outcome. Such procedures are covered by health insurance. But what about the other side of surgeries? Some procedures are purely cosmetic, some may say. But, cosmetics can play a

It is cosmetic procedures today, an increasing number of cosmetic surgery procedures are performed in doctors' offices and free-standing surgical centers (as opposed to hospitals), and more procedures are being carried out simultaneously. This increases the risk of rare but potentially fatal infections and anesthetic reactions. Furthermore, some practitioners have not completed the full 5 years of residency training required for certification by the American Board of Plastic

If one is considering cosmetic surgery I suggest reconsidering. Research shows cosmetic surgery can be a risky and costly procedure. Society is pressuring people to look more attractive. Media shows actors to be flawless and the public feels that one should be compared to these actors. Cosmetic surgery is becoming more popular is today’s culture. People are turning to cosmetic surgery for many reasons, some of them are not healthy.

Cosmetic surgery, a type of elective surgery undertaken to alter a person’s appearance for reasons beyond injury, illness, or disease, has become increasingly pervasive in society in the past few decades despite sparking controversial debates. (Coleman, 171) While reconstructive surgery is condoned, cosmetic surgery occupies a gray area where physicians “dedicated to saving lives, healing, and promoting health” perform “invasive surgical operations on healthy bodies for the sake of improving appearance.” (Miller, 353) Nevertheless, demand for it is higher than ever with people looking to surgery as an easy method for changing their appearances. This essay will argue that cosmetic surgery is indeed ethical for physicians to perform by examining it through the perspective of the four basic principles of medical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.

This is because several disadvantages or consequences of plastic surgery itself. One of that is suicide among plastics surgery’s patient. Dittmann claims that the patients that cannot accept their looks after surgery because it is far away from their expectation was report to commit suicide and not to mention that the statistic of the plastic surgery patient commit suicide is greater than other people (2006). Besides that, as we already know plastic surgery will give a bad effect to the body and health. For example, Hematoma, which is a pocket of blood that looks like a large, painful bruise that occurs in 1-6 percent of breast augmentation procedures and is the most general complication after a facelift. Hematoma is a risk in nearly all surgeries, and treatment sometimes includes additional operations to evacuate the blood and of course sometimes will lead to another complication. In addition, during surgery procedure infection also might occur though the procedures to reduce the risk of infection includes postoperative care, but it remains one of the more common complications of aesthetic surgery. A good example is cellulitis, which is a skin infection can occur in 2-4 percent of people in breast surgeries, but in some cases, infections can be internal and severe, requiring IV antibiotics (Anna,

Plastic surgery has its’ good sides but it also has its’ bad sides, the risks to plastic surgery are horrible. They’re always risks when people decide to go under the knife. If something goes wrong , results could be irreversible. Most common risks are organ and nerve damages, chronic pain, scarring and infections. People also have to make sure their surgeon is good

Plastic surgery is not the best choice for anybody because you never know what your final outcome is which Allison A. stated in 2008. Doctors cannot guarantee you will come out successfully from the surgery room. She also said that it is like a game where you do not know if you win at the end of the play. People turn to cosmetic products for better appearances but when it’s not enough or not satisfying to them, they turn to plastic surgery. They never think about the consequences of what they want to look like or the dangers and risks that are involved. Veronica S. (2007) believes that cosmetic surgery is more harmful than it is beneficial. Unnecessary surgery seems to put women in danger for the sake of Hollywood beauty. We all handle healing differently. Some may heal well and some won’t. Hykra (2005) states that if you have pre-existing health conditions cosmetic surgery can be really dangerous. He also reports that people with heart condition, diabetes, or if you are a smoker, or have allergies you may experience complications that others may not.

Over the past 15 years, the number of cosmetic procedures has increased by 197%. While it was 2.1 million procedures performed in 1997 it increased to 9.2 million procedures in 2011 and nearly ten billion dollar were spend for cosmetic procedures in 2011, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (“Cosmetic Surgery...”). Cosmetic surgeries are also the third main cause for debt. It shows how used people get to the fact that everybody gets surgery.

Sophia Loren once said, “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.”Cosmetic surgery is enhancing, not improving the function, a person’s natural beauty through surgical procedure. Cosmetic surgery used to be for mostly the rich and famous because of its cost. Although, it is still not covered by health insurance, it has become affordable, making an option for almost anyone who which to alter their appearance. Some of the most popular surgeries are facelifts, brow lift, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty(nose), tummy tuck, and liposuction. Although cosmetic is marketed as safe by surgeons, it is unnecessary because it is not forever, it can become addicting, and there are many risks associated with it.

“Everyone has his heart into beautiful things.” It is a famous quote in China, which reveals it is a world that everybody goes after beauty. Those born beauties are lucky, but there are many people feel inferior about their appearance. It is one of the main reasons why plastic surgery and especially cosmetic surgery is now rapidly developing. Plastic surgery is risky; even a small operation can be traumatic, and it will be a risk of trauma as well. However, this does not mean that cosmetic surgery cannot be done. It is usually safe as long as the patients go to the regular hospitals, but not the personal clinics.

According to the International Society of Aesthetic Cosmetic Surgery, over 65 million surgeries have undertaken in the nation alone, along with the rise in popularity of cosmetic surgery, as well as a noticeable decline in the negative perceptions of these surgeries.

In recent years, cosmetic surgery has increased in popularity. Although it is a person’s, own judgment on what they do with his or her bodies it is still dangerous. The three greatest popular and thus probably extremely dangerous are Botox, breast augmentation, and tummy tucks, which I stay here to explain and talk about why I view that the price to be beautiful can be too much at times.

MedicineNet analyzes mental health risks as a result of unrealistic expectations of surgery. When a person engages in plastic surgery on the wrong grounds, they tend to be unsatisfied with their results. This causes stress and sometimes depression on the patient, which can also affect their physical health, due to delayed and/or prolonged healing time. It is critical for plastic surgeons to be specifically trained in psycho-therapy. During an initial consultation, the doctor must first determine whether the patient is emotionally stable. They look for things such as age, development, mental illness, whether the patient is realistic towards the outcome, whether the patient has recently undergone any sort of traumatic event, or any other factor capable affecting their mental health. Once this is assessed and the patient is cleared for surgery a whole new array of problems arise.
