Benefits of Cosmetic Surgery
With its recent increase in popularity, it seems that everyone these days is getting plastic surgery. The
most popular procedures - breast augmentation, facelifts and liposuction - all have something in
common. All of these procedures seek to create a better look for the patient, as well as conforming to
society's standards. Are these procedures really good for the client, or are they just a product of
today's unrealistic ideals? Here are some of the benefits of cosmetic surgery that you might not have
thought about.
The physical benefits of cosmetic surgery are very obvious to the eye. People who get plastic surgery
show benefits that are immediately noticeable, even if at first they may not look beautiful due to
swelling and bruising. For example, if a woman undergoes breast augmentation, her larger cup size
will be seen right away, even if her breasts have scars or bruises. The same is true for rhinoplasty and
most other types of plastic surgery - these physical benefits are right there.
But what about the emotional benefits of plastic surgery? These results can many times be greater
than the physical rewards. If you have felt bad about the way you look, due to a flaw such as a nose
that you feel is too large or wrinkles that make you feel old, plastic surgery can make you feel better
about yourself. While some doctors and psychologists feel that plastic surgery is not the answer to
poor self-esteem, if you feel that there is just one area that needs to be corrected on your body, it can
be a solution to better emotional wellness.
There are risks to plastic surgery, which are the same risks that you'll find if you undergo any surgery.
There's a risk of a reaction to the anesthesia, as well as a chance for infection or other post-surgery
complications. Finally, you can be unhappy with the way that your surgery has turned out after
healing; you may expect some results that are impossible due to your underlying structure, or your
surgeon may not be able to complete the dramatic transformation you're hoping for.
Whether you're going under the knife for a surgery you've always wanted, or if you just want to erase
some wrinkles and make yourself feel younger, the benefits of cosmetic surgery are obvious. Be sure
to see a certified plastic surgeon for any of your procedures, and think carefully about the results
before undergoing any surgery.
SIDE EFFECTS

1. Bleeding - Bleeding is pretty regular phenomenon for few hours following surgery and can
sometimes results into complications. Blood clotting and its accumulation under the skin can
result in a condition called ematoma which will be firm in appearance and feel, and the color
of overlaying skin may change to blue or purple. The area experiences a characteristic pains
but pain gets reduced gradually once our body's' own anti clotting mechanism starts
addressing the specific area and reabsorbs the accumulated blood.

However, if the condition remains status quo and hematoma continual to grows, it will
compress the surrounding tissues and disrupts the flow of oxygen through blood from
circulating around that area. This may lead to numbness, swelling, inflammation and skin
death. An immediate attention or perhaps a surgery is required to take out the coagulated
blood. Moreover, presence of large hematoma can increase the risks of other problems like
infection, wound separation, and necrosis.

During surgery and within next few hours, you become more susceptible to secondary line of
infections as open wounds offer better access to bacterial and viral pathogens via, sutures, or
drain sites. That is the main reason why the supplement of antibiotics is given during and
following the cosmetic surgery. Typical signs of infection are fever, inflammation in a local
area, foul odor, and discharge of thick yellow or white fluid.

There are also $0742,8 which are quite similar to Hematomas. In this case there is
accumulation of tissue fluid instead of blood. They usually occur in operations involving tissue
removal. They are identified by enlargement, increase weight, sloshing of fluids. The
treatment involves compression or drainage.

2. Scarring- it is one of the most common risk one should be aware of. It is closely related to
suture reactions and wound healing capability. During the process of healing, a thickening of
skin edge and formation of granular tissue can occur. Most surgeons like to hide the scarring
in places where they are not noticeable. For example in tummy tuck operations it is beneath
the swing wear line while in breast augmentation the incision lines are hide under the crease
of breast.

3. Necrosis - It is a death of tissues due to insufficient supply of oxygen to the operated area.
The risk is very rare in normal cosmetic surgeries but in plastic surgeries involving face lifts,
breast reductions, tummy tucks, there is a possibility of Necrosis. It increases with sudden
inflammation. Smokers are very prone to this possibility as blood vessel constriction and
relatively less oxygen supply. It is generally treated in early stages by hyperbaric oxygen
therapy.

4. Nerve Damage - In very rare, extreme cases nerve damage can occur characterized by
numbness and tingling sensation. Generally the nerve damage can last not more than 1 year.
Weakness or paralysis of certain muscles may be experienced if a nerve related to muscle
movement is impaired. It can be treated with reconstructive surgery.

5.Adverse Reactions to Anestesia - risks due to use of anesthesia are very rare but
nevertheless its hazards if occur are still there. The risks depend on the factors like
healthiness and seriousness of surgery. Nausea is a common feature. Sore throat is also
commonly experienced risk. The total risk factor of this type is generally very rare.

Plastic Surgery Fees
The cost of plastic and cosmetic surgery in the United States has been climbing slowly over the past decade, staying
consistent with the cost of living increases across the board. However, it remains a luxury item. Like all luxury items,
it should be approached with the same caution, discretion, and balance that one would apply to any financial decision
that involves discretionary income. Hence, as with all luxury items, you will need to balance the potential benefits
with the cost. With plastic surgery, cost not only entails financial cost, but also time away from work, recovery, and
possible cost of complications. So, as you consider your options in plastic surgery, you will benefit yourself if you are
able to keep each of these in mind.
If you're considering cosmetic surgery, cost should be one of the variables you're weighing in your
pursuit of ageless beauty.
. Generally, the major costs involved are the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee and
implant fee (if applicable).
