What are the common misconceptions about cosmetic surgery?

What should you do if your appearance is not as good as you would like it to be due to congenital deficiencies, or if your original beautiful face is declining due to age? Nowadays, more and more people, especially young women, will turn to the doctor’s scalpel at great expense to re-sculpt beauty on their own bodies. As a result, the market for cosmetic surgery is getting bigger and bigger, and the output value is soaring. According to statistics, China’s beauty market in 2000, the output value of 2 billion, in 2002, soared to 168 billion, is expected to reach 500 billion yuan industry output value in 2010, the current national beauty and plastic surgery industry has reached 3 million people. But because of the industry’s low threshold of entry, management is not standardized, the technical level of practitioners vary, resulting in many people not only did not “whole” out of the beauty, but destroyed the beauty, and damage to health. In order to let more beauty seekers less detours, to avoid irreparable damage, summed up the many misconceptions widely existed among beauty seekers. 1, one-sided belief in advertising “no incision” “no hospitalization” “no bleeding” “does not affect the work” “go home the same day” “no after-effects” …… you must have seen such words, this is part of the irresponsible business to cater to the needs of consumers and the usual language in their advertising This is a common phrase used by some irresponsible businesses in their advertisements to meet the needs of consumers. And as consumers, especially some rich and idle consumers to such advertising has been given greater attention, do not know that, according to the current level of technology in the world of plastic surgery, can do these few, but also according to the individual’s physique and ability to tolerate. 2, blind superstition new technology The name of the beauty project in the advertisement are claimed to be the latest, such as the latest “Han’s special effects suspension surgery wrinkle removal”, “new protein buried weight loss”, “new material polymer double eyelid The newest “special effect suspension surgery to remove wrinkles”, “new protein buried line weight loss”, “new material polymer double eyelid”, etc. These are all cosmetic surgery advertisements that are stealing the concept. Many are some very mature technology, only to be packaged with a facelift to come out and advertise. The current beauty market is chaotic, equipment, practitioners are not standardized, a lot of false information, hype concept misleading consumers, and even pose a danger to their appearance and health. 3, cosmetic surgery is a once and for all thing Some patients think that “a whole, beautiful for life”, do a surgery to solve all future problems. In fact, as people grow older, their body shape and skin will have a lot of changes. In addition, people’s aesthetics are constantly changing, and the cosmetic surgery done at the age of 30 may not be beautiful at the age of 50. Many people abroad have hired personal aestheticians for long-term planning of their cosmetic surgery. So don’t expect that cosmetic surgery will get you a one-and-done deal. In addition, each part of the cosmetic surgery is different, some are suitable for only once, some more times the effect is good. Lower eyelid was to be loose, every three years or five years to do a, subcutaneous scar pulling, contraction, the local skin pulled tight, appearing to have a person’s spirit. 4, too high expectations for the results of surgery Plastic surgery does not turn everyone into a heavenly fairy, but can only change on the basis of the original. This is the fact that each patient must be clear. In addition, plastic surgery is not only related to the doctor’s plastic surgery skills, but also closely linked to the doctor’s personal aesthetic ability and artistic cultivation. Because every plastic surgery is an artistic creation, an individualized artistic process, not an industrialized product manufacturing. So the patient should have a correct and objective understanding of the results of surgery. 5, the purpose of surgery results are not clear requirements often heard in the hospital many doctors lament: “Some beauty lovers bring the photos of celebrities, asked to make so-and-so so! But did not consider whether their own conditions are suitable!” This is the type of customers who are very determined to change. These customers are very determined to change, but they don’t know themselves properly. It is difficult for doctors to do it and for patients to achieve their goals. Cosmetic surgery is not only about the beauty of individual organs, but also about the harmony of the whole. Therefore, the organ that is beautiful on someone else’s face may not be coordinated on your face. Beauty there is also a question of personality, some stars are single eyelids, alone may not look beautiful, the whole is very individual. 6, cosmetic surgery without risk, acting on impulse Plastic surgery industry is an emerging industry, in recent years has been a significant development, the media coverage of its increasing, which gives many beauty lovers the motivation to change. However, there is the question of whether the patient’s relatives and friends can accept the procedure after the surgery. Therefore, for the sake of family harmony and to provide adequate support for the patient during the recovery period, doctors generally recommend that patients discuss the procedure with their families before proceeding. This will enable them to weigh the pros and cons more comprehensively, so that they do not get caught up in the impulse and regret it later. 7, the wrong motivation for surgery in the work or life in some kind of crisis, and plastic surgery impulse, expect plastic surgery can change the relationship (such as husband and wife relationship), the doctor is not recommended surgery. Generally the following types of people are discouraged to do surgery: hope to use surgery to win back the heart of the husband; to beauty pageant to get a prize; to do a complete shape in the hope of finding a good job. These patients’ feelings are understandable when they want to increase their attractiveness and competitiveness through cosmetic surgery, but once the crisis disappears or the surgery does not achieve this effect, the patient will have to suffer a bigger blow. It is wrong to use beauty as a bargaining chip in the first place, and no cosmetic surgery can guarantee that a girl will become a beauty queen or a millionaire, so the patient has to consider it from her own needs. For example, some girls ask for particularly exaggerated European-style double eyelids, but she has not consulted her relatives and friends, in this case she should be asked to reconsider: “Your makeup should be proportional to your age and occupation. If it is not an actor, is there a need to exaggerate?” 8, a strong emphasis on quick results Speed is the most apt word to describe today’s society, anything that has to do with speed must give people a sense of intimacy. In the field of beauty, a variety of fast-acting products are widely favored. People are always keen on products or procedures that produce results in a short period of time, without considering their own health and realistic feasibility. Everything has a gradual process, even the most effective surgery, there is also a recovery time. There are two kinds of people who doctors find difficult to deal with: one is skeptical of doctors from the beginning, always thinking that doctors’ advice is for personal gain and sticking to their own opinions. One type of person is overly dependent on the doctor’s knowledge and has no opinion of his or her own. In the former case, the doctor can fully understand the patient’s requirements, but his or her reasonable suggestions cannot be recognized and it is difficult to reach a consensus with the patient. The latter’s over-dependence makes them shy of expressing their own wishes, and the doctor cannot understand their true meaning, which affects the surgical effect. 10, for beauty at all costs People’s pursuit of beauty is rising, and they also have the corresponding financial ability. But not everyone who loves beauty can afford the cost of plastic and cosmetic surgery, and some people are still very painful for this. This is completely unnecessary. The most important thing for people is life, and if the disease is life-threatening, they should do their best to treat it. There is no need to be so obsessed with cosmetic surgery. Can not afford to do cosmetic surgery, not necessarily can not be beautiful. 11, the operation requires infallible There is no trauma-free surgery, and then a small surgery will have trauma, there will be trauma and risk. Any surgery has risks, plastic surgery is one of the surgery, of course, there are risks. No surgeon, domestic or foreign, can guarantee a foolproof surgery, but only reduce the incidence of risk through extensive experience, perfect facilities, etc. Therefore, the patient should have enough psychological preparation before the operation, and after making sufficient prep if the operation has problems should be promptly and correctly made to deal with. 12, choose holiday surgery These years there is a “May Day plastic surgery day, National Day plastic surgery day” said, to encourage consumers to use the long holiday break for plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery hospitals also mostly focus on publicity during this time. In fact, consumers think a little will know, doctors are also people, they need enough rest time to do a better job, so holiday plastic is not a wise choice. 13, like to listen to the good when a cosmetic plastic surgeon told her customers: “no risk” “surgery must be very good” or “immediately after surgery will be a lot more beautiful” and so on. When a cosmetic surgeon tells her clients that “there is no risk,” “the surgery will be great,” or “you will be beautiful immediately after the surgery,” and so on, the beauty lovers will have to be careful for the sake of “face. These irresponsible beauty language may let you fall into the doctor’s private trap. 14, blind worship of foreign doctors The worship of foreign doctors is mainly manifested in blindly following the Korean wind. At present, the Korean wind in China more and more intense, many beauty lovers believe that South Korea’s plastic surgery technology is much more advanced than the domestic, so find ways to find Korean doctors to open for themselves. In fact, the equipment and technology of plastic surgery hospitals in many cities in China are not worse than Korea. In the world, plastic surgery only started to emerge in the decades after World War II. Our plastic surgery industry also started very early, mainly under the leadership of Professor Zhang Jiesheng of our hospital in the early 1950s, and developed rapidly, creating many world firsts. Many plastic surgeons are now more mature. In many aspects of plastic surgery, our technology to exceed South Korea. 15, think it is not good to change again is very easy, too light on the second surgery face as a test bed many times surgery, think that one can not come to the second, three times, a little dissatisfaction will be destroyed to start over not many people, but there are always some. Some people think that a bad job can be modified again until they are satisfied. This kind of thinking is too naive. Most of the consequences of failed surgery are very difficult to remedy. For example, if the injected breast augmentation surgery is carried out by some units without medical cosmetic qualification, the injected material will be scattered everywhere after entering the body, and if it is not operated according to the medical standard and causes infection, it is very difficult to take out all of them again, and only 80%-90% can be taken out with the best efforts. Some serious patients even need to remove their breasts. Even if the consequences are not so tragic, it is difficult to achieve the best results when repairing. Therefore, the state stipulates that only tertiary hospitals can perform breast augmentation by injection, but there are still some unqualified institutions that carry out this project. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing a hospital and doctor for the first time. Surgery is traumatic, and the trauma becomes bigger after multiple surgeries without necessarily achieving the expected results. In addition, the trauma caused by the failure of most surgeries is very difficult to remedy. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing a hospital and doctor for the first time. 16. Believe in scarless surgery As long as the incision is made, there must be a scar, just obvious or not. Therefore, do not believe in the “scarless” promises on some advertisements. The so-called “scarless surgery”, strictly speaking, is only the scar is not obvious or hidden, do not look carefully can not be seen, there is no absolute scarless cosmetic surgery. 17, the pursuit of fashion is too fashionable things can only be seen in the light of fashion, but fashion is not unchanging. Because the effect of surgery after plastic surgery can not be changed at any time, so the surgery should not be too fashionable. Imagine how boring it would be if everyone’s nose was the same shape! Moreover, even if the most fashionable nose in the world is suitable for you now but not necessarily for the future aesthetics. Therefore, the best nose is the one that suits you the most and is the most natural. In other words, the best way to fit your plastic surgery is the best way, and do not make the mistake of asking for “fashion”. 18, liposuction can lose weight liposuction can not replace a balanced diet and moderate exercise to achieve weight loss, such as fat in the belly, liposuction simply does not work. Liposuction can only be regarded as a surgery to improve the body shape, some belong to the difficult to decompose stored fat, such as abdominal or hip fat, exercise and dieting is not easy to lose, liposuction will be able to remove this part of the fat to achieve the effect of improving the body shape. After liposuction, these areas are less likely to accumulate fat again. Although there are many misconceptions, this does not mean that cosmetic surgery cannot be done. This is because the risks of the projects now carried out by state-approved cosmetic surgery institutions are communicated to patients before surgery, and, as long as they operate according to medical norms, they generally do not result in particularly unacceptable consequences. The requirements for doctors in the cosmetic surgery industry are very high, not only to have skilled surgical techniques, extensive clinical experience, but also to have strong aesthetic qualities, with a certain appreciation of art and aesthetics. Because cosmetic surgery is the icing on the cake, only after having years of clinical experience can you carry out it independently with more confidence, improve the success rate and achieve a more satisfactory result. Therefore, beauty seekers are reminded that they must carefully choose professional medical institutions and doctors.
