In modern
society’s quest for
perfection, cosmetic surgery
emerges the victor. The rewards
of cosmetic surgery are beauty,
youth, and vigor – a modern
Fountain of Youth that can be
hard to ignore.
Yet
cosmetic surgery does present
significant risks and obstacles
that cannot be ignored. Only by
weighing the benefits and risks
of cosmetic surgery can you
determine if the procedure is the
right decision for you.
The
Pros
Since
cosmetic surgery reshapes the
natural contours of the body, it
can improve those areas that the
individual finds unattractive or
undesirable.
Cosmetic
surgery can reduce signs of
aging, thereby enhancing the
individual’s natural beauty
and lending to a more vibrant,
youthful appearance. It can also
repair damage caused by trauma,
illness, infection, developmental
abnormalities, or heredity.
Since the
desirable result of cosmetic
surgery is a more attractive
appearance, successful surgeries
can have a strong positive effect
on an individual’s
psychological health.

Enhanced
beauty can elevate
self-esteem, increase a
patient’s sense of
self-confidence, and
combat depression.
Many
individuals will find
that they feel more
comfortable in the
company of others after
cosmetic surgery.
Still
others feel their
improved appearance
helps them conform to
the standard of beauty
and vitality expected of
them, thereby elevating
their status in society.

The
Cons
First off,
cosmetic surgery is an expensive
endeavor that can present a
financial hardship for many
patients.
Many single
procedures come with price tags
well into the thousands of
dollars, and those individuals
desiring multiple surgical
procedures will easily find
themselves with medical bills
that far exceed the average
worker’s yearly income.
Also
consider that cosmetic surgery is
an invasive procedure that seeks
to reshape the natural contours
of the body.
Surgeons
must cut, bend, stretch, chisel,
poke, and otherwise forcibly
manipulate structures of the body
into the desired shape in order
for the procedure to be a
success. This causes undue stress
on the body resulting in pain and
discomfort, bruising, swelling,
and stiffness. The recovery
period from cosmetic surgery can
be lengthy for some procedures,
lasting up to several months.
Many procedures, though
relatively safe, have the
potential for serious
complications that may even be
permanent in nature.
Side-effects
such as nerve damage, scarring,
infection, and chronic pain may
result if a surgery does not go
smoothly.
Patients
must frequently take time away
from normal activities for the
surgery and subsequent recovery
period. This means that patients
may have to take time off from
work or school and avoid favorite
activities such as sports and
playing with their kids during
the initial recovery period.
Many
patients also find that they need
assistance for a few days after
the surgery to help them get
around and take care of daily
activities.
Finally, it
is important to remember that the
desired results cannot be
guaranteed. The potential exists
that the surgery will not produce
the “ideal” look the
patient was seeking in spite of
the surgeon’s best efforts.
Cosmetic
surgery is not an exact science,
so potential patients need to
keep in mind that there is no way
to know what the final outcome
will look like until the
procedure has been performed and
the recovery period has passed.
