Many questions have been raised against plastic surgery especially after the recent death of Miss Argentina due to complications from a surgical procedure called gluteoplasty. Even if the US is one of the leading countries with regards to cosmetic surgery safety, you should still research and understand the risk and statistics of cosmetic surgical procedures if you are planning to have one. Risks in surgery From just a simple scar to serious complication or even death, these are all the risk that one should take when undergoing surgery. A simple mistake during surgery will lead to deformities, and worse, it can damage a person's psychological and emotional well-being. Even expert surgeons can make mistakes that will result to scarring and will lead to becoming more conscious than ever before on that area because of the marks that was left by the procedure. Although these complications rarely happen, we still can't discount the fact that there is still a slim chance of this scenario. Dangers in Surgery Some fatal complications that may happen during the surgery include problems with anesthesia which is very fatal; mistakes like the use of wrong implants or incision of the wrong muscle or tissue. Accidental cuts on nerves may result to loss of sensation or even movement which could become a permanent disability depending on the severity of the damage to the nerve. Usually, there is decreased sensation and weakness in the operated area following surgery. But if this extends for longer periods, then you should see a doctor to see if something is wrong. Dangers after Surgery Complications like internal hemorrhage, blood clot formation and infection may happen after the surgery. Even careful monitoring is given; this cannot always prevent complications from happening. If the attention is given to the patient post-surgically, this may lead to serious infection and at times can become life threatening. Internal damage and infection may also result if surgical tools are left inside the body. This kind of case is often overlooked and not immediately noticed following surgery. Oftentimes, it will only become apparent that a foreign object is inside the body once infection sets in. Patient's health Recovery depends upon the patient's health. If the surgeon operates a patient in bad health status, it would be the surgeons fault if something bad will happen to the patient. |
