In 2003-2004 the number of cosmetic procedures had went up by 44 percent, according to the American society for aesthetic plastic surgery. A record breaking total of 11.9 million procedures last year, the most popular one being non-surgical procedures for example Botox or Dermal fillers. Also as we know people only undertake cosmetic surgery as they are not happy with themselves, for example people are willing to throw away £1250 for liposuction instead of going to the gym and saving massive sum of money. What kind of society do we live in, if we are willing to throw away that large a sum of money instead of working for it? Many believe that the rise of reality star to celebrity status has increased many of the younger generations to seek out surgery to enhance their image. This applies to both males and females. .
But let's take into consideration what happens if the operation goes wrong. These people who undergo these operations are putting themselves at greater risk. Getting an operation so advanced as this one isn't as simple as taking a dog out for a walk, it has much more serious consequences, say the doctor makes one simple miscalculation, and then the money paid is a waste. The numbers of cases which involve an unsuccessful breast lift or a botched nose is increasing. Edwina Rawson, a medical negligence specialist at solicitor's Field Fisher Waterhouse said;.
"But people don't seem to treat it with the same caution and fear that they would another surgical procedure. People seem to be less willing to see the danger of having a tummy tuck compared to that of a stomach operation they need medically. When things go wrong someone can end up disfigured or even dead", Rawson added. "A facelift can lead to your eyes or mouth not opening and closing properly. I've seen patients whose lower eyelid is not resting against the eyeball after they've had facial surgery.
