Many people believe that plastic surgery as such - it is a modern phenomenon, leading her back to the time of rapid growth and development of the film industry in Hollywood, and that plastic surgery is the prerogative only of successful and famous people. Contrary to this misconception would like to cite the following fact. Modern archaeological research confirms the existence of such specialties as plastic surgery several dozen centuries ago. As evidence can serve old ancient Indian manuscript «Sushruta», contains in its pages a description of such jewelry operations as plastic face (especially nose and ears). That's why today believe that plastic surgery is the destiny of the elect, at least illogical. Sure, you can always convince yourself that your apparent flaws do not matter much, and you look great. But a reasonable question: why?

Modern plastic surgery can easily be a separate branch of medicine. Plastic surgery was able to consolidate a number of different medical specialties. A plastic surgeon as an expert in their work can use different methods of treatment from standard surgery to the latest innovative non-surgical techniques to positively influence the appearance of his patient. The result of a plastic surgeon is to achieve perfect image of the person and, as a consequence, its harmony.

giving the appearance of new contours of the body, depending on customer needs,

improving patient self-assessment and as a result, his psychological state.
Today, one of the most popular sections of plastic surgery can be considered a direction called aesthetic medicine.

Types of plastic surgery

Rhinoplasty

Nose - the most "prominent" part of a person's face. And if the body is defective (thickened tip, crook, long nose, large nostrils, a curvature of injury), then the appeal rights in the eyes of others is greatly reduced. Once again, the aid comes a plastic surgeon. Rhinoplasty - intervention that addresses shortcomings of the nose through surgery.

Plastic ears

Irregular shape of the ears (eared) can deliver a lot of spiritual experiences of their owners. However, the most strongly about it affects children. Peer ridicule and, consequently, the formation of self-doubt - not a good prospect for your child. The more so that this problem can be solved. How? Quite simply, by having recourse to Otoplasty (Ear correction surgery).

Facelifting and neck

In contrast to the accumulated life experience, wrinkles, sagging skin of the neck, cheeks sagging with age is not good. True, much can be corrected through cosmetic procedures. But what if they do not give the desired effect? Perhaps it is wise to make a facelift and neck (face-lifting).

Eyelid

Eyes ... This is probably the most important part of the face. Written about them a lot of poems, legends. You can use them without the words to explain to others. Anyway, beautiful eyes - a "weapon of mass destruction" of any woman! More unpleasant to see in the mirror overhanging eyelids, drooping corners of the eyes, puffiness and bags. But do not panic! There is a way, and this way - blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

Liposuction

Fat on the abdomen, thighs, brought a lot of trouble. Wear your favorite dress or, conversely, to appear on the beach in a revealing swimsuit - alas, it is not possible, if the figure is far from perfect symmetry. How can that be? Lean on exercise and observe a strict diet? Yes, this is a good option. But what to do when all this is no time, and I want to get the result as soon as possible? Need to resort to liposuction - removal of subcutaneous fat using special medical equipment.

Breast Augmentation

Beautiful, firm breasts - the dream of every woman! Such chest gives confidence to attract attention of the opposite sex, a woman can feel successful. The problem is that nature does not reward such dignity of all women. Too small or large, as amended birth and breastfeeding, asymmetrical breasts - these are the main reasons for visits to plastic surgeons. And in many cases it makes sense to think of implantation.

Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

By Millicent Odunze, M.D., About.com Guide

Plastic surgery is no longer just for the rich and famous. Everyday people are now flocking to surgeons for breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and more. Meanwhile, the field of cosmetic surgery offers more options than ever---from face lifts, rhinoplasty, and other traditional procedures, to newer and less invasive procedures, such as laser resurfacing and thermage.

Though these procedures are becoming more popular, they still carry risks that you need to weigh when deciding if one is right for you.

The Rewards

Psychological - For many patients, successful plastic surgery can lead to an increase in self-esteem and confidence, which can have a snowball effect on many areas of one’s life. Often, the correction of a “problem” perceived by the patient can mean a loss or reduction of self-consciousness or social anxiety which has been holding the patient back in life. For others, it may make them more outgoing because they feel less vulnerable to the cruelty of others. (Imagine a woman who as a young teen was mocked for her “buck-toothed” smile, and eventually stopped smiling until she finally was able to have her smile surgically corrected.)

Professional and Social - It has been shown in countless studies that more attractive people are generally perceived as more intelligent, more honest, more successful, and more capable. These same studies have shown correlations between attractiveness and professional recognition, hiring decisions, promotions, and differences in salary levels. Some studies have even shown that attractive people receive better and quicker service in restaurants and in retail establishments. This suggests that surgery to improve one’s appearance may indeed be a boon to one’s career and/or social status, especially when a person moves or works in creative or youth-driven industry.

Another reality for more attractive people is that they often have increased romantic opportunities, and a better selection of potential mates from which to choose. They also can tend to have an easier time making friends. These factors make for a livelier social life all around.

Health and Quality of Life - There are many health and quality of life benefits that may be ascribed to the benefits of plastic surgery. For the patient whose vision is improved dramatically by an eyelid lift which removes the hooded portion of the eyelid, the rewards are obvious. For the patient who has a breast reduction and experiences a relief of long-standing daily pain, quality of life can increase dramatically. For the patient who has 20 lbs of loose hanging skin removed from his or her body, it can mean feeling more comfortable with increased levels of physical activity, which in turn can positively affect both mental and physical health. For a patient who has lived with an obvious visible disfigurement, reconstructive surgery can make that person feel free again---able to face a world that is no longer staring, or worse---avoiding any eye contact. This can be a tremendous life-changing event.

The Risks

Health Risks - We begin with the most obvious of risks. Call it reconstructive, cosmetic, or plastic---it is still surgery. People have risked and lost their lives and limbs, and suffered devastating disfigurement and scarring as a result of plastic surgery gone wrong. The worst outcomes are rare, but risk is nonetheless a reality.

While each type of surgery has its own risks that are specific to that particular procedure, certain risks are common to virtually all surgical procedures. These risks include:

• infection
• excessive or unexpected bleeding (hemorrhage or hematoma)
• blood clots
• tissue death
• delayed healing
• anesthesia risks (including shock, respiratory failure, drug or allergic reactions, cardiac arrest, coma, death)
• pneumonia
• loss or change of sensation
• need for secondary surgeries/dissatisfaction with results
• paralysis or less severe nerve damage

Psychological and Social – How will you feel if your plastic surgery makes you fodder for gossip among your social circle? What if your partner exhibits signs of jealousy or insecurity because of your new and improved looks? Will you be totally comfortable with the increased attention you get with your newly enlarged breasts? What if you still feel “ugly” or inadequate after your “problem” has been surgically corrected?

The potential adverse psychological and social effects of plastic surgery have a lot to do with a patient’s pre-op expectations, and his or her pre-op mental and emotional state. It’s important to understand that while plastic surgery can bring positive rewards, it will not change your life, your problems, or your relationships. It is also important to understand that there is no such thing as physical “perfection”.

Unsatisfactory Results - Not every surgery is successful, and unlike most “medically necessary” surgery, the success of plastic surgery is quite subjective. Unsatisfactory aesthetic results (including contour irregularities, asymmetry, excessive or unfavorable scarring, etc.) can be disheartening or even devastating for some patients. Worse yet, the unluckiest of patients can be left with persistent pain, damage to vital tissues, or even nerve damage/localized paralysis.

Weighing it Out: Risks Vs. Rewards

The potential rewards of plastic surgery are highly individual. Many plastic surgery patients say their only regret is that they didn’t do it sooner. However, there are also many who wish they had never done it at all, or who at least wish they had done more research or chosen a different surgeon.

Of course, risk can be mitigated by doing your homework and becoming a very informed patient. Do not let price be the foremost determining factor in choosing a surgeon. Check credentials and references, ask lots of questions, and be on the look-out for red flags. Be sure that you go into surgery in the best health possible by taking care of yourself, and don’t let your desire for the surgery overshadow any serious health considerations.

While the risks of plastic surgery do vary from one procedure to another, certain risks are common to all surgery, and some of the risks are grave. Only you can decide if it’s worth it for you. Educate yourself. (About.com is a good place to start.) Take into account all the pros and cons. Talk it over with your loved ones.

If you decide to go for it, choose the best surgeon you can find. Follow his or her pre- and post-op instructions to the letter. Then enjoy your new look!
