Here’s the thing: you’ve got to be smart. If celebs get it wrong, imagine the disaster that can strike the average person. Following is everything you need to consider when it comes to the cons of plastic surgery.
The first thing to think about is how much risk you’re willing to assume. After all, with any surgery, risks are involved. This means you need to weigh the pros and cons of potential health consequences of any procedure you’re considering.
The first surgery risk to consider is complications associated with anesthesia. Not only can those who have been anesthetized develop pneumonia, blood clots can also occur. In addition, the site operated on could get infected or may scar. And when nerves are involved, sensations may not come back. (For example, when nipples are cut during a breast surgery, sensation may or may not return.)
The next thing to consider is that you might not be happy with the final result. Many people undergo cosmetic surgery and find themselves dissatisfied with the end product. What you see in pictures may be different than what you get. Think of those stories we just told you. Those are the big dogs. If it happens to them, it can definitely happen to you.
It’s also important to consider just how much pain you are willing to tolerate. If a scratch on the arm makes you cry, plastic surgery might not be the best option for you. Take, for example, the story of Kim Gregson. The forty-something underwent a tummy tuck and liposuction operation. However, along with the procedure, she got a rather unpleasant surprise.
Gregson told Market Watch that her doctor forewarned her of discomfort. However, he didn’t tell her that this “discomfort” would be absolutely grueling. Even with two types of painkillers and ibuprofen, she was crippled by pain and haunted by the site of oozing blood.
