Cosmetic surgery and Plastic
surgery can be confusing terms; often used interchangeably they
are two distinct disciplines. Plastic surgery
is commonly used as a general term for operative or instrumental treatment performed
for aesthetic reasons. In reality, plastic surgery is the field which addresses
corrective or functional surgeries and procedures. The plastic surgeon is often
at work due to the effects of accidents, burns or disease, and has a full surgical
residency and strict medical requirements governing their certification.
Cosmetic surgery is a subfield of plastic
surgery, and addresses aesthetic or elective procedures in
order to enhance features a patient finds unflattering about themselves. Cosmetic
surgery is also performed on bodily parts for health purposes,
such as breast reductions. The other area of plastic surgery is reconstructive
surgery, which takes place when a part of a patient has been damaged in something
like an accident or a fire.
In
an age where looks are more important than ever before, many people, and especially
women, are availing themselves of the many opportunities to have cosmetic
procedures on parts they do not like. This cultural reality
is reflected in shows such as Extreme Makeover and other hit medical shows
that document bodily changes.
More
and more, however, people are becoming addicted to cosmetic
surgeries. The fact is, that once a person sees how very easy
it is to get something they don’t like fixed, the more about themselves
they do not like and want remedied. Prime celebrity examples of this include
Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers.
Cosmetic surgery should never be undertaken
without psychological as well as medical consultation. It is imperative that
the patient not undertake the operation lightly, with full knowledge of the
hazards and the risks of becoming an addict.
It is also very important for a potential patient to
do research on the surgeon that will be performing the procedure. There is
a lot of money to be made in the cosmetic surgery
industry, and all sorts of frauds and quacks are out to get
a piece of action. With most things in life, it is important to remember that
cheap prices mean cheap work, there is simply no way around it. Those looking
for surgeons must choose wisely, or the results could be even more operations
and even greater risks.Author
