Cosmetic surgery is often much maligned as being potentially dangerous and as having disastrous outcomes when it goes wrong. In addition to the direct dangers to our health, procedures that don’t go as planned could leave us disfigured for life and some horror stories regarding disfigurement can be very unsettling indeed. However, for all the bad news we hear, cosmetic surgery is on the whole a very safe practice when performed by reputable surgeons. Some cosmetic surgery is even very common and you may have had it performed yourself at some point.
Dentistry
We often don’t think of dentistry as cosmetic surgery yet in many cases, that’s exactly what it is. While root canals, for example, may be done for medical reasons other jobs such as cleaning and straightening are for little more than aesthetic appearances. It is even common for young children to undergo this form of cosmetic surgery and many people will have worn a brace at some time during their childhood. Because some people may be self-conscious about their smile, having their teeth put in the best condition possible can make a considerable and positive difference to their lives. With a beaming smile, people can feel much more confident and this confidence can help them in their personal lives and their professional lives.
Rhinoplasty
Stuck right slap bang in the middle of our faces, our noses are one of our more prominent features, meaning that ‘nose jobs’ are high on the list. When it comes to cosmetic surgery rhinoplasty is one of the more straightforward procedures and also one of the most effective in terms of altering our appearance. The techniques are almost risk free because there is little that could go wrong and once everything has healed and it can be impossible to tell that any surgery has taken place at all.
Mammoplasty
Also high on the list of cosmetic surgery procedures if mammoplasty, or ‘boob jobs’. Many ladies across the world feel uncomfortable with the size and shape of their breasts and choose to undergo surgery to have their breasts adjusted as they like. Although there are bad news stories associated with these procedures they are relatively straightforward and harmless to the patient although it is important to be sure that the surgeon does have a good reputation.
When we do think of cosmetic surgery we often think of superstars that have come under ridicule for drastically changing their appearance. The reality is though most cosmetic surgery procedures are fairly minor and carry little risk to the patient.
