Plastic Surgery, Is It Ever A Good Idea?

The increasingly growing trend of plastic surgery has the stamp of approval in our society, but is surgery for personal appearance sake only a good reason. It might as some experts say, improve self esteem and there are certainly medical reasons that cannot be argued, but what about the risks? Including the ones that have left patients permanently disfigured for life with no chance for procedure reversal, or the unprofessional-ism of carvers that prey on peoples quest for perfection at any cost or little cost.

Many stars are continually making adjustments to their physical appearance. Many of the most common plastic surgery requests include breast enhancement, breast reduction, nose jobs and don't forget the botex treatments. This practice used to be reserved for the rich and famous, but that is changing fast. News headlines now include stories of plastic surgery being done on preteen and teen patients, seeking that illusive dream of being the perfect princess. This trend is also including unnecessary surgery. Some of the unnecessary surgery is increasing the number of fatalities each year. Even if a professionally trained surgeon is doing the best that can be expected, many patients report being disillusioned and disappointed with the results of their surgery and some add the experience to their bad decision list.

Anyone considering plastic surgery, especially to the face area, will most likely be stuck with the results. If your personal expectations are not realized, additional surgeries can cause additional scarring build up and become more troublesome and could really change your appearance for the worse or turn out to be something totally unexpected. The face is a very delicate area and changes could be permanently. Insecurities also must be considered, especially as you age, the surgery might not age so gracefully.

Unless there are severe disfigurement issue due to a vehicle accident, injury or a birth defect, most insurance companies will not pay for these cosmetic procedures, due mostly to the steep cost of the surgeries. Never assume that only the rich are getting these procedures done. Research shows that the numbers are mostly middle class citizens, who as some cases indicate have saved for years and have kept the obsessive fires burning until they have the surgery for what they perceive to be huge problem areas, which in reality are not necessary at all.

Of course, everyone wants to look and feel their best but when you are a person who is constantly trying to change the outside and how you look physically there are probably some things that you should be doing to improve your insides as well. How you feel is just as important if not more important then how you look and you will want to make sure that you do the work to build up how you feel about yourself or all the plastic surgery in the world won't help.
