Why is plastic surgery risky? And why?

If you can, please do at least one:
How plastic surgery effects society.
Why does it effect society?
Some true stories, if possible.
The highly costs of plastic surgery.
Did you have plastic surgery? If so, how was the the result? Good or bad?
Plastic surgery good or bad?
Thanks!! Any of these would be greatly appreciated. :D
Answer:
First, go look up the words "affect" and "effect".I spent my day anesthetizing people for plastic surgery today. They were women who wanted to feel better about their bodies. One got bigger boobs, the other had a pannus of fat removed from her lower abdomen. For each woman, it was her personal choice. I can't see how either affected society.What these surgeries DO affect is a person's self esteem. Many people feel better about themselves, and more confident in their interactions with other people, if they feel that their bodies look better.The patients I have are normal people, not rich folks or celebrities. Plastic surgery is expensive, but so is ANY surgery. It seems more expensive because insurance doesn't cover cosmetic procedures. How people choose to spend their money is their business. Is a lifetime of feeling better about yourself worth the cost of a nice vacation? For a lot of people it is.Here's a story for you:
I have had patients that have lost huge amounts of weight (over 100 pounds), but look awful because they have loose skin hanging from their bellies and arms. We just did a lady last week who had lost 180 pounds, and her arms looked like bat wings. We did a brachioplasty and removed the excess that was hanging down under her upper arms. She was so thrilled, because now she could buy shirts with normal sleeves. She was excited to be able to wear a short sleeve shirt for her birthday. I think it was great that after all the effort of losing weight, that she SHOULD be able to look and feel good. I hope she comes back to get the abdominoplasty. She deserves to look good.Good or bad? Depends on the situation. Bat wing arm lady - good. Michael Jackson, Priscilla Presley, Farrah Fawcett - bad.
well, first of all, it's surgery. any time you go under, there's a chance (albeit small) that the anethesia can kill you. there a re complications, and you could be allergic to something used in surgery you didn't know about. then there's infection. it's as serious and dangerous as any surgery.
no
you can die due to a problem with anesthesia or from an embolism (pulmonary or fat embolism). A fat embolism as a higher risk with tummy tucks, lipo especially and is even a greater risk when you combine more than 1 procedure at a time. Its when a particle breaks off and travels around the body and can potentially end up killing you. Same with a pulmonary embolism. Due to not moving for awhile (in surgery and post surgery) your blood can also clot and then break off, trave to the lungs and kill you. Basically, the risks are with any major surgery, not necessarily more with plastic surgery.
WOMEN who have breast implants are far more likely to commit suicide than those who don't, new research has revealed.
A study of 24,600 women with surgically enhanced breasts revealed they were 73 per cent more likely to kill themselves than the general population.
Dr Jacques Brisson of the Universite Laval in Canada oversaw the study.
He said cosmetic surgeons should pay attention to the reasons women want to undertake the procedure.
"If this reveals problems that cannot be treated with plastic surgery, doctors should refer these patients to mental health professionals," he said.
On the plus side, the study found general death rates for women with fake breasts were actually lower than for the rest of the population.
But Dr Brisson said this could be easily explained by the profiles of the women who chose surgery.
He explained: "First, a woman must be in relatively good health to undergo breast implant surgery.
"Also, women who receive breast implants tend to be of higher-than-average socioeconomic status. Thus, women who undergo breast augmentation surgery are more likely to be in better health than the general population."
