Top 10 Myths About Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery receives more flak than any other part of the beauty industry

. The negativity of some myths about cosmetic surgery is effectively disinformation, creating superficial stereotypes and superficial imagery. Modern cosmetic surgery is a very necessary option for a lot of people, and it's not fair that this vital factor should be overlooked.

A brief history of cosmetic surgery

The earliest forms of cosmetic surgery had nothing to do with the beauty industry. Modern cosmetic surgery dates back to World War One. The procedures were medical procedures used to cover terrible injuries and burns. In France, a surgeon perfected a method or repairing entire faces terribly scarred by shrapnel or bullets, with huge loss of tissue. This was before plastic was even invented, and despite this obvious handicap, the results were good.

The beauty industry got involved after World War Two, when plastics became common, and advanced surgical techniques and better technology made the procedures comparatively simple elective work. The development of progressively better dermatological and surgical techniques also improved the availability of these procedures, which used to be exclusively for film stars and people with the money to pay for them.

Myths, past and present

The myths about cosmetic surgery, however, have remained the same since about 1950. There are a few myths which are long past expiry date and need to be shut down permanently:

"Cosmetic surgery is all about vanity"

This is very much an appearance-driven society. Anyone who remembers the brutality of their younger days in relation to even minor visible defects will remember how much suffering, misery and damage to self-esteem it causes. People have been known to commit suicide. Other people have accidents or unfortunate skin conditions which damage tissue and need restoration. Cosmetic surgery restores confidence and quality of life.

"Cosmetic surgeons often make terrible mistakes"

Simply not true. There are millions of cosmetic procedures carried out every year. Cosmetic surgery has an excellent track record for success by any medical standards. That's why problems make headlines. You never hear about the things that go right, only the things that go wrong.

Cosmetic surgery as a true medical procedure- Ethics and principles

Cosmetic surgeons are specialized in cosmetic surgery - thats what they do all day long. This is a medical practice, governed by both the laws and the ethics of medicine. One of the reasons inferior quality cosmetic surgery is so rare is that the standards of surgery are so high and based on strict professional standards.

Why cosmetic surgery is so popular

Cosmetic surgery is now widely available, and people have been taking advantage of the opportunity to get problems fixed. The usual scope of cosmetic work is:

Dermal fillers

Facial fillers

Facelift

Breast implant

Nose job

Wrinkle treatment

Rhinoplasty

Shaping (non invasive liposuction)

These treatments can deal quickly and effectively with real medical issues. "Cosmetic" surgery is real surgery".
