While many cosmetic surgeries are done to correct a disfigurement due to an accident or birth defect the majority of the cosmetic surgery procedures done today are purely for aesthetic reasons.
Many Hollywood stars resort to plastic surgery to maintain their youthful appearance so they can keep working and to some degree this “look good at all costs” mindset has trickled down to the masses to the point where some teens want cosmetic surgery as birthday or Christmas presents.
The one thing that is often overlooked by many people though is that no matter if you’re getting a facelift or tummy tuck plastic surgery is a medical procedure and there are risks involved that should be seriously considered before going under the knife.
Pros of Cosmetic Surgery
If you have been a victim of an accident or were born with a birth defect such as a cleft palate cosmetic surgery can be a blessing in that it can restore your appearance to what it was or should have been.
Today’s skilled surgeons can do many things not possible even several years ago from eliminating ugly scar tissue to literally rebuilding a person’s face and there are technological advances every day that allow for even more complicated procedures that can potentially help people who before had no options available to them.
For those born with a birth defect surgery can remove the stigma often associated with the defect and allow the person to live a normal life without feeling abnormal or defective.
Some people are very conscientious about their appearance to the point of having serious psychological issues and cosmetic surgery along with proper counseling can help these individuals gain the self-esteem and confidence they need to live and work in the competitive world we live in today.
Cons of Cosmetic Surgery
For those that have cosmetic surgery there is always a chance that something will go wrong and they may end up worse off than before. Doctors can and do make mistakes and sometimes no matter how good the surgeon is the end result is no better than before the surgery.
There is also the risk of infection, various complications, etc. that is part of any surgery not to mention the pain involved and recovery time needed to get back to normal.
If the cosmetic surgery is done as an elective procedure for to enhance your appearance the odds are that your insurance company will not cover the cost and you will have to pay for it yourself. Like any surgical procedure, plastic surgery is not cheap and too often people will go into debt to try and obtain that perfect nose or stomach which can lead to serious financial problems.
Before getting any cosmetic surgery no matter what the reason make sure you get all the facts from experienced board certified plastic surgeons and understand the costs and risks involved. It is only then that you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether or not to go ahead with the surgery.

It’s the day after my surgery and I’m doing better than yesterday. I’m a little congested but other than that I’m OK. I don’t feel any pain.

Patients often do not feel well after surgery and can’t sleep. This is normal. It is because of the anesthesia and also the patient has been sleeping during the surgery. Usually it takes a person a couple of weeks before their sleeping habits return to normal.
