Hello everyone, do you guys ever feel disappointed on your appearance? Or even want to change your appearance by doing the plastic surgery? Well, cosmetic surgery has become a booming trend recently. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there are about $10.1 billion earned by the industry in U.S. every year. 91% of cosmetic patients are women, they spend thousands of hard-earned dollars just to make themselves look prettier.
Usually interchanged with the term “plastic surgery”, cosmetic surgery is mostly focused on enhancing a patient’s appearance. On the other hand, plastic surgery aims to correct dysfunctional areas of the body. While plastic surgery can be beneficial to patients who had just been burned or accident, cosmetic surgery is less necessary. In fact, there are serious disadvantages that must be considered before having the surgery.
One of the disadvantages of cosmetic surgery is the cost. A simple Botox injection can cost as much as $400 and even more in some parts of the country where it is more popular. Breast reductions can range between $3,500 and $6,000 depending on if you are a man or a woman.
Besides that, one of the most common mistakes that people make when getting cosmetic surgery is using the wrong doctor. If you choose the wrong doctor or a doctor that is not certified, you could be risking your health and your life. At least, a bad doctor could make you worse than you were before you went in for the surgery.
Lastly, unsightly scarring is a possible disadvantage of cosmetic surgery. The scars are thick and red in color. And they don’t usually fade out like most of the surgical scars. Additionally, some patients find the results of the procedure are not what they expected.
If you want to make yourself happy with who you are, you don’t have to spend a lot of money and put yourself through a risky, painful surgery. Just take time to know yourself and all those amazing potentials you have. Real people will not measure your worth as a person by the shape of your nose or the size of your boobs.
