Plastic surgery is not just for the rich and famous. The tabloids go crazy and love it when an A-list celebrity gets ‘work done’. “OMG take a look at Jennifer Lawerence’s smile, she has fewer wrinkles then she did last week around her eyes.” But altering an individuals appearance is only one part of a plastic surgery procedure.
If you are considering undergoing plastic surgery, don’t worry too much about ending up with foreign substances in your body. The Greek word for plastic is plastikos and means to form or to mold — in other words, to simply change (which is what plastic surgery does) — it changes a particular area of the body for a more aesthetic appearance.
For the best plastic surgery results, ensure that you look for a surgeon who can provide the highest standards of safety and a well-practised ability to deliver beautiful and natural results like top Perth plastic surgery – Dr Quinn.
Reconstructive or Reconstructive/Cosmetic?
– Scarred from Accidents
Work accidents, car crashes, falling, burns, animal bites, sports injuries , etc., can all cause chaos to the body and in some cases, both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery are needed.
– Congenital disabilities
Congenital disabilities like ear deformities, cleft lips and skeletal deformities can all cause serious emotional and physical handicaps. Often a series of surgeries will be conducted as the individual grows to correct congenital disabilities and restore a healthy appearance and functionality.
Cosmetic or Reconstructive/Cosmetic?
– Massive weight loss
Most individuals who have lost a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time will have excess skin that will not shrink. Often the only way to eliminate the excess skin is to correct the appearance of the damage caused by obesity.
– Vanity/Self-esteem/Self-image
People love to judge others for getting cosmetic surgery. However, if it makes you happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone, then there’s entirely nothing wrong with it. Nose jobs, breast enhancements, tummy tucks and Brazilian butt lifts may seem a bit trivial to some people, but it can make all the difference in the world to someone who suddenly feels beautiful!
Plastic Surgery Controversy
Plastic surgery has increased among teens so it’s only natural that there’s some controversy around it. Some of them hate their noses; others want birthmarks removed; some have severe acne scarring. Breast augmentation is not permitted unless a woman is 18 or over, and plastic surgery procedures like a rhinoplasty need to be put off until the individual has stopped growing. Surgeons screen teens to ensure that the teen is responsible and mature enough to have plastic surgery and that they’re doing it for the right reasons.
Hollywood A-Listers will state that it’s a requirement for their career to go forward while individuals who have had a terrible accident will say it’s for health reasons. In no particular order here are the most common reasons for having plastic surgery:
- To turn back the clock on ageing
- To look more beautiful
- To Erase scars due to an overzealous sense of immortality
- To make my significant other happy (WRONG REASON)
- To correct what’s wrong (reconstructive surgery)
- To improve sex (because I’ll look and feel sexier)
- To be satisfied with my looks and comfortable in my own skin
