plastic surgery - is it really necessary?

Plastic surgery is the surgical speciality or procedure concerned with the restoration, construction, reconstruction, or improvement in the form, function, and appearance of body structures that are missing, defective, damaged or misshapen.  Encompasses both reconstructive and aesthetic.  Medical speciality concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function.  Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best-known kind of plastic surgery, most plastic surgery is not cosmetic.  Plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery and the treatment of burns.  Plastic surgery or no plastic surgery?  There's are many disadvantages of plastic surgery and I am disagree with the necessary of plastic surgery. 


One of the most obvious shortcomings of plastic surgery is the risk of complications. People with a sensitive body are most susceptible and vulnerable to infections from the surgery. Chances of something going wrong during or after the plastic surgery, in turn resulting in an infection, disease or illness, are very much there. Complications that lead to partial paralysis of the face or other body parts, abnormal heart rhythm, airway obstruction, blood clots, brain damage, heart attack, malignant hyperthermia, nerve damage, & stroke are also possible.


Moreover, though rare, possibility of death cannot be ruled out during plastic surgery. Many-a-times the surgical process involves usage of chemicals and equipments that are not suitable for a person's body. Excessive bleeding, heart attack or even a drop in blood pressure, while the surgery is going on, are some of the factors that might lead to death of the patient. The case of 'revision' or getting back the old look has become a common phenomenon in the present times. This is mainly because the result of the plastic surgery might not turn according to your desires. As a result, more and more patients are undergoing revision, after the surgery, to get back their original look.
  

Though it might look all too nice to get a plastic surgery done permanently changing the form or appearance of your body part, the process is not viable for all. Plastic surgeries usually cost a fortune and cannot be availed by everyone. Its usage is limited to those belonging to the high echelons of the society.  Believe it or not, plastic surgery has the potential to become an addiction. Some people who undergo it become enamored with the aftermath and look forward to a change in each and every part of their body. As such, plastic surgery becomes an obsession for them, rather than just a means of altering a body part.

Conclusions, plastic surgery is not really necessary because there are many disadvantages.
