Plastic surgery is surgery designed to change the appearance of the body, to alter or rejuvenate it in some way. It is performed often but not exclusively on the face. It can be purely aesthetic, or can be done to repair damage from an accident or from congenital defect.
There are also cases of elective plastic surgery, where someone pays to have a feature they do not like changed according to their preferences. Sometimes plastic surgery does not have a good result, and then is known as bad plastic surgery.
Typically, bad plastic surgery comes from surgical error. Less frequently, choices made before surgery by the patient or surgeon are the cause of the problem. When the bad surgery happens during a facial procedure, it’s very obvious.
Think of a botched facelift. The face may look unnaturally tight, or even asymmetrical. You may have mobility problems, because nerve damage is preventing the person from being able to fully move their features. There may even be loss of sensation in parts of the face.
Sometimes the problems caused by bad surgery can be corrected via further surgery. Unfortunately, some problems are nearly impossible to fix. For instance, botched rhinoplasty, or ‘nose jobs,’ are almost impossible to repair.
When you have a nose job to reduce the size of your current nose, if the surgeon removes too much it is then very hard to fix. A second surgery would only work if there is enough tissue left to use to correct the original mistake. For bad surgery that is not on the face, at least it is easier to camouflage the results.
When someone has suffered a botched plastic surgery, the results can be devastating. You can have excessive scarring, deformation, even paralysis. The damage isn’t limited to the physical, either. Patients often experience emotional and psychological damage as well. When plastic surgery goes wrong, the patient may feel that it is their own fault for wanting to look better, like they are being punished for vanity and deserve the damage that has happened.
How do you protect yourself from disastrous outcomes? Nothing is ever foolproof, but one way to protect yourself is to do some research on the surgeon before you commit to surgery. How many similar surgeries has he performed? Has he had malpractice suits brought against him? Do his former clients speak happily of their results? These are a few things you really should know before you let someone perform surgery on you.
