Beyond the Buzz: Taking a Closer Look at Cosmetic Surgery

Published

Like everyone else, you probably heard about cosmetic surgery at a young age. However, it was probably always spoken off in hushed tones, filled with plenty of drama and horror stories. Is this the reality of this trade, though, or is there more to the story? Let’s find out:

Are Severe Mistakes Possible?

This is one of the main reasons that people are put off cosmetic surgery. They are worried that their faces or bodies will be irrevocably damaged. This is fair enough – in the past, inexperienced or uncertified surgeons have made a mess of things. All of this has changed now.

These days, you are more likely to come across qualified, skilled, and certified individuals. For instance, Dr. Zakhary has 15 years of practice in rhinoplasty and is board certified. As a result, you can guarantee that not only does she know what she is doing, she has also had numerous successful operations.

Do Surgical Results Look Fake?

This is something that a lot of people are concerned with – that the results will look exaggerated, fake, or like you have absolutely undergone surgery. What you need to keep in mind, though, is that the industry has improved and evolved by leaps and bounds. These days, surgeons are as much artists as they are doctors.

Due to this, with the right plastic surgeon, only the people closest to you will realize that anything has really changed about you. In most instances, you will simply look better than you did before but it is unlikely that others will be able to put their finger on how you have transformed.  

Are the Results Permanent?

There is no denying that permanently altering any aspect of you – even features that you may not like – can be rather intimidating. Thus, if you go under the knife, are your features changed forever? Well, this may happen with some surgeries, while the results aren’t as permanent with others.

In any case, you may find that you need to follow up with touchups throughout the years. As your face and body get older and change in a variety of ways, your surgeon will have to alter the surgical changes that they have made to ensure that you look natural.

Is It Right for You?

This is one of the most common questions people have regarding cosmetic surgery. At the end of the day, only you can answer this question. However, you don’t have to tackle it alone. Go and speak with a surgeon. They will be able to guide you through the process and give you an in-depth explanation about all procedures.

A good surgeon will also have a frank conversation about the changes that you can make to your face and body. They will tell you what is and isn’t possible. They will also be honest about the kind of results you will see as well as how long it will before you can notice any changes.

These are the main things that you should know about cosmetic surgery. Now that you have heard the other side of the story, you can make an informed decision for yourself.
