Debunking the Most Common Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Myths
Open any magazine, and you’ll probably find quite a few articles about types of plastic surgery and how they can benefit your health and wellness.
Cosmetic plastic surgery is famous today for several reasons. There are, however, quite a few myths associated with any plastic surgery that can lead to most people not even considering a plastic surgery procedure for themselves.
In this blog, we’ll dispel some of the most common myths out there.
Plastic Surgery Is Only for Women
Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Brent Birely can tell you that cosmetic plastic surgery isn’t just for women looking to improve their looks or receive breast implants.
Women make up the majority of patients who want cosmetic surgery, but men also schedule these procedures and account for about 15% of the appointments made. In fact, more men than ever before are seeking out the services of cosmetic plastic surgeons to help them improve their optimal health and appearance.
Plastic Surgery Is Only for the Rich
The days of cosmetic surgery being only for celebrities and the uber-rich are long gone. In fact, surveys have shown that quite a few middle-class people with disposable income make appointments for plastic surgery.
The average person makes up quite a bit of a plastic surgeon’s client base and is looking to restore their self-confidence and look after their health and wellness, just like the rich.
Plastic Surgery Is Painful/Requires Long Recovery
In the old days, plastic surgery did require extensive recovery time. However, the advances in modern and medical technology mean a marked reduction time in recovery after surgery.
Plastic Surgery Results Last Forever
The fact is that while plastic surgery can improve and change your appearance, it’s not a magic spell and doesn’t last forever.
While it can reduce the effects of aging, injuries, or slight imperfections, it doesn’t reverse the aging process and stop your body from aging. So even with the lifestyle changes that your plastic surgeon will suggest, it is possible that you’ll have to have another plastic surgery procedure down the road.
When depends on how well you take care of yourself in the meantime.
You Can Tell When Someone Has Plastic Surgery
While you’ve probably seen extreme cases in the media where patients have been noticeably altered due to plastic surgery, in reality, that’s not how it usually is.
Plastic surgeons do their best to fix imperfections in a way that no one can tell you’ve had plastic surgery or a nip and tuck here or there.
Many people have plastic surgery procedures done every year, and you’ll never know they did unless they choose to let you in on their secret.
