The Dangers Of Trying To Look Good
Most people want to be good looking. Whether it is ravishing or beautiful, people will do almost anything to enhance their looks. American society is so obsessed with looks that some people choose painful and expensive routes to be gorgeous, such as plastic surgery, Botox, or collagen injections. There is even a reality show, Extreme Makeover, which takes the average, homely American, and transforms them into the stunning individual that the general public admires. But enjoy it or not, these intense and sometimes insane ways to be attractive do come with dangerous consequences.
Collagen is basically chubby that is placed into either the hands or lips to fabricate for a fuller, more voluptuous look. Although it makes lips look extra kissable and extremely sexy, a lot of risks are involved. Before going in for the outpatient surgery, an allergy test is mandatory before the diagram. Rash, hives, and flu-like symptoms are all possible when getting a collagen injection. A major downside to this procedure is it only lasts a few months to a year. Fair think- if it only lasts 3 months or so, you have to do it all again 4 times a year!
Face lifts are usually done for men and women over the age of forty. Face lifts basically improve sagging neck and facial skin by removing excess fat and tightening up muscles. Even though this procedure will take years off the patients face and neck areas, there are many dangers that go along with it. Side effects to the surgery are relatively mild, with swelling, bruising, and some temporary numbness. Other major threats to the patient are injury to the nerves that control facial muscles, infection, bleeding, and severe scarring.
It is funny how some men and women will go crazy if there is an ounce of fat on their bodies. Instead of working out to rid themselves of the extra chub, they figure they should just have it sucked out of their bodies by a puny vacuum. Liposuction is becoming more and more popular for the lazy American society. Liposuction can be preformed almost anywhere, including cheeks, upper arms, breasts, abdomen, hips, knees, etc. Of course with plastic surgery of any kind, there is always a possibility of something bad happening. Rippling of the skin is possible, along with pigment changes, fluid retention, and fluid loss which would ultimately lead to shock.
If liposuction sounds too hazardous of a procedure, then a tummy tuck might be the next best thing. There are no little vacuums interested, just a flattening of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening up muscles in the abdominal wall. Even though this sounds simpler than liposuction, the risks are about the same. Possible side effects are blood clots, infection, scarring, or skin loss. In most cases, a second operation is needed.
Nose jobs are probably one of the most common operations. Some have had their noses broken and wish to have it back to its original form, others just want a smaller nose. The re-shaping of the nose may be done with microscopic tools that “sand” down the larger, out of proportion bones. Some bones may have to be broken in order to change the appearance of the nose. Small burst blood vessels may result in tiny, permanent red spots over the area. Sometimes additional surgery is needed to complete the process.
Botox cosmetics are indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. Most patients that have this way done are under sixty-five years old. This novel phenomenon is sweeping the nation, it seems like almost everyone is having this done.
Cosmetic surgery is extremely risky. If people would see that they are all resplendent in one way or another, there would be no need for any of these surgeries. To cause someone to feel not comfortable in their own skin, will ultimately affect the way they perceive themselves. To make someone want to go to a doctor in hopes it will make them more attractive is ridiculous. Wanting to be pretty or handsome is not the crime, going to extreme and dangerous lengths is. Going through with the procedures will either make a new person, or execute an extremely sick and helpless person. Is it really worth all the harm and suffering?
