Cosmetic surgery is no longer just for those in the public eye or those
who have lots of money. It is now something that is gaining acceptance
and interest from the average consumer. Here we take a brief look at it.
Cosmetic surgery is more popular today than it has ever been before.
Shows like “Nip/Tuck” have helped to bring it into the mainstream. The
same can be said for reality shows such as “Extreme Makeover.” No longer
are cosmetic surgery procedures kept hidden and no longer are they only
just for celebrities and wealthy people. More and more regular people
in society are seeing how having a little work done on their bodies can
improve the quality of their lives.
You may wonder what exactly cosmetic surgery is. At its very basic level
it is a surgical procedure that is performed by a cosmetic surgeon
(also sometimes referred to as a plastic surgeon) that is capable of
improving a specific area of the human body that the patient is not
happy with. Examples include having liposuction on the abdominal area or
the thighs, having a tummy tuck or having breast implants or a breast
lift. It could involve an eyebrow lift, a nose job or a non-invasive
procedure such as having Botox injections.
Cosmetic surgery is a physical procedure that yields cosmetic changes to
the face and/or body. However it can also have very uplifting and
beneficial psychological, emotional and mental effects. The vast
majority of those who decide to have cosmetic operations are very happy
with the end results and would highly recommend it to others.
It is important to have realistic expectations, but to have expectations
all the same. No cosmetic procedure will completely change your life.
If you are expecting a life makeover then you will not make an eligible
candidate as that is a very tall order for any operation of this kind.
It is also important that you decide to have such an operation to please
yourself and not to please anyone else. Having a procedure to improve
your physical appearance will not save your marriage nor will it gain
you more friends. What it can do is help you from the outside in. The
end result can provide you with the support and encouragement you need
to lift your spirits, improve your level of self-esteem and give you the
confidence you need to step out into the world and be the most
courageous, strongest and happiest person you can be.
It is important for you to realize that even though this type of surgery
is done with a cosmetic goal in mind it is surgery all the same. Just
as heart surgery, back surgery and eye surgery carry potential risks
that the patients need to be informed about beforehand, the same can be
said for the operations that are performed by cosmetic surgeons.
You need to be made completely aware of risks as well as potential
complications and side effects that could take place. Even though a
surgeon may be very competent and experienced there is always the chance
that something could go wrong. It is the nature of medicine regardless
of what field you are looking at. Discuss everything of consequence with
the operating physician before you decide to have any type of cosmetic
procedure. This is of extreme importance for your health and for your
safety!
