Cosmetic Surgery Risks
Cosmetic surgery has gone from being something which only a minority of people do to something which is much more socially acceptable and affordable. In the UK in 2005, 300,000 cosmetic treatments were performed while in the following year 577,000 were performed (an increase of over 90%) and a market analyst Mintel predicts that in 2008 Britons will spend over 1 billions pounds on cosmetic surgery.
However a recent report by Which? based in the UK has found that some clinics are putting sales before safety. Ultimately cosmetic surgery still carries the risks associated with surgery, but even so it was found that sales people with no medical training were giving misleading advices on procedures. Douglas McGeorge, who is the president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said the clinics where abusing the fact tat the public did not take the time to assess treatments.
The take home message from this is that although getting cosmetic surgery can certainly make improvements which may improve wellbeing, it is important to become aquainted with the risks/rewards before embarking on any alterations.
