Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong

Posted by: | Comments (0)

As with just about anything in life, there are many things that can go wrong with plastic surgery. But just as we don’t hear news reports about the millions of planes that have taken off and landed safely, there is not the same attention devoted to the many success stories of cosmetic surgeries as there is to plastic surgery gone wrong. There are risks involved with this type of surgery, as there are in undergoing operations of any kind, but the usual difference is that while no doctor can force a patient to have surgery of any kind – even if it is a life-saving operation to remove a cancerous tumor – plastic surgery is generally a little more elective than the other.

As the human body ages our skin becomes looser and less elastic, causing it to droop and sag. One of the most common places this effect of aging is seen is the upper arm. A growing number of men and women are having a procedure called brachioplasty performed to reverse this. Brachioplasty tightens and reforms the muscles of the upper arm into a more attractive shape.

Laser eye surgery has become extremely popular in the last decade or so. Lasik actually stands for Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis. This type of surgery basically uses a laser to change the curvature of the cornea. Your cornea is the outer window of your eye, and this is where nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism occur.

The advent of new technologies has made vision correction surgery very safe and effective. Most people recover very quickly and have little or no side effects. The surgery is done on an outpatient basis, and most people can resume their normal activities the day after surgery.

Most of us have been reminded by elderly relatives that our lives could be cut short any day simply by crossing the street; this adage is usually quoted to remind us to live each day to the full, and to do the things that will bring fulfilment to our lives, despite the many risks inherent. While it is true that the sensible among us put the inevitable risks of daily life to the back of our minds in order, simply, to stay sane, a balanced life is perhaps knowing risks to pay attention to, and which to ignore.
