Top Three Myths About the Plastic Surgery Industry

Plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery has come a long way since its inception and today it is one of the largest industries in the world. Attitude towards getting cosmetic enhancements on parts of your body has changed considerably over the past few decades. However, even with changed mindsets, there are a number of myths about the plastic surgery industry that people mistake for being real. Industry watchers believe these myths are mainly because of lack of awareness about the industry. The three main areas where people often make a mistake are related to age, costs and safety.
Let us look at the first myth related to age. Many believe plastic surgery patients are often much older in age who need the cosmetic enhancements as their body has gone through years of ageing. While it is true that older individuals may require cosmetic surgeries to fight signs of ageing, but if you look at the industry as a whole and what it has to offer, you will realize people of all ages are equally involved in getting cosmetic enhancements. From young adults to middle aged individual to much older individuals, the numbers are almost the same. In fact of late younger men and women are keener on getting plastic surgery procedures done on them. From breast augmentation to cheek implants, nose jobs, liposuction, tummy tucks etc. They want them all.
The second myth about the plastic surgery industry is related to costs. There are many who feel any kind of cosmetic enhancement costs a fortune. Some of them actually do want some kind of cosmetic surgery but shy away thinking about the costs. Well things have changed since the industry was in its nascent stage. Today getting a surgical procedure on any part of your body has become quite common and has brought the costs down to a large extent. Also there has been lots of innovation and developments in the technology used in the industry as well. Due to all of this, costs are not a factor anymore.
The third most common myth is regarding safety. We all have read the horror stories on the internet or in other magazines etc of how things went wrong after a plastic surgery procedure. Most of those stories are quite scary but the truth is those are exceptions and not the norm. Also what should be noted here is that responsible plastic surgeons often have a plan of action ready should things go wrong after surgery. They even go through multiple consulting sessions with their clients to learn about past medical history, current medication and food habits as well as other factors to pinpoint potential dangers and risks. If your surgeon has taken the time to go through the potential risks, plan of action post surgery and your medical history, then the chances of something going wrong are quite minimal. In fact safety is one of the main priorities of the plastic surgery industry right now and responsible surgeons do all it takes to minimize any risk of a cosmetic surgery procedure.
