Cosmetic surgery appears to be a godsend for anyone who needs the procedure. Whether it’s correcting birth defects or rejuvenating your appearance, plastic surgery can literally change your life. However, it should never be forgotten that any kind of surgery carries a certain amount of risk. Aside from the usual surgical risks of cosmetic surgery, such as postoperative infection, internal bleeding, damage to nerves, muscles or blood vessels, allergic reactions and permanent scarring and tissue damage, cosmetic surgery abroad carries additional risks due to the nature of travel, a procedure abroad, and the questionable qualifications and infrastructure in some destination countries.
Does that mean you should give up on your plans for that facelift or the repair of that scar tissue? Not at all! Don’t be discouraged or put off by the risks of cosmetic surgery. The trick is to find ways to limit the risks as much as possible. The idea is to weigh the risks against the potential benefits to you and your life, then make an informed, balanced decision about your surgery. While the common risks associated with both local and general anesthesia will remain, new methodologies and medical technology are constantly being discovered that improve the overall success rate and reduce any risks.
However, the risks associated with cosmetic surgery can sometimes increase because it is essentially an unregulated field and not all clinics and doctors, especially abroad, are up to international standards. Before you decide to undergo cosmetic surgery abroad or finalize the plans and destination, make sure that the plastic surgeon you are considering has the appropriate qualifications and experience. Also check out the clinic to make sure it has the kind of infrastructure you want.
The risks of cosmetic surgery include the disfigurement that can be caused by the wrong doctor and clinic making a terrible mistake in the procedure. Unless the doctor knows exactly what he/she is doing and unless the clinic is equipped with everything they are likely to need in an emergency, the usual risks of surgery can be many times greater. Sudden drops in blood pressure, excessive blood loss, infections, loose stitches, internal bleeding, complications from anesthesia or sedation, etc. can all be effectively managed with the right personnel and resources.
If you have any kind of heart disease, or any existing lung disease or a history of it, discuss it with your surgeon so that it can be taken into account. Before traveling abroad, make sure you map out itineraries, learn all about transportation and accommodation, and have contingency plans. Learn all about the clinic and the city. Make a detailed itinerary and have alternatives ready for all kinds of situations. With a little thought and planning, the risks associated with cosmetic surgery abroad can be greatly minimized and the benefits increased.
