Plastic Surgery Disadvantages

Norman H. Rappaport M.D claims that there are several advantages of plastics surgery which are increased self-confidence, improved physical health and also enhanced mental heal (2015). Why plastic surgery can increase self-confidence? Because when you look good, you feel good and improvements to appearance naturally translate to increased self-confidence for most people, which means a greater willingness to try new things or open up in social situations. In addition, an increasing number of celebrities and other famous people are getting plastic surgery to maintain or change their appearance and body image because they rely upon their physical appearance to maintain their confidence and they were pleased with the outcome and this will boost

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 suicide rate of plastic surgery patients is two or three times greater than other people because the patients cannot accept their appearances after surgery because their new appearances are far from what they expected (2006).
Besides that, as we already know plastic surgery will give negative effect to body and health. For example, Hematoma, which is a pocket of blood that resembles a large, painful bruise that occurs in 1-6 percent of breast augmentation procedures and is the most common complication after a facelift. Hematoma is a risk in nearly all surgeries, and treatment sometimes includes additional operations to drain the blood and of course sometimes will lead to other complication. Another example is nerve damage. The potential for nerve damage is present in many different types of surgical procedures and some of it is numbness and tingling are common after plastic surgery and can be signs of nerve damage. Not to mention most women experience a change in sensitivity following breast augmentation surgery and 15 percent permanently lose nipple sensation (Peggy et al., 2015). Infection also can occur during surgery procedure though postoperative care includes steps to reduce the risk of infection, but it remains one of the more

For example liposuction. It can be traumatic for internal organs and not to mention visceral perforations or punctures can occur when the surgical probe comes into contact with internal organs. Additional surgery will be needed to repairing these injuries but the perforations may also be fatal. Anesthesia complications also one of negative effect from plastic surgery because it allows patients to undergo surgery without feeling the procedure. As we know, general anesthesia, where medication is used to make you unconscious, can sometimes lead to complications including lung infections, stroke, heart attacks, and death. More common anesthesia risks include waking up confused and disoriented, and shivering and less common complication is anesthesia awareness, or waking up in the middle of surgery. As well as anesthesia complication, blood loss too contributed from plastic surgery. Of course some blood loss is expected but uncontrolled blood loss can lead to a drop in blood pressure with potentially deadly outcomes and it can happen while on the operating table, but also internally, after
