The Unwanted Result in Plastic Surgery
July 31st, 2009 adminI believe most plastic surgeons are well-trained, caring professionals. However it is not beyond our abilities to inadvertently give people unwanted results. This doesn’t mean a complication like bleeding or scaring (although these are always possible), but changing the way someone looks so they are not recognizable.
When you see celebrities with “bad’” plastic surgery, sometimes they might have actually asked for that kind of change. No one really knows what was requested but their surgeon. Still, a tight facelift, a frozen forehead or gigantic breasts maybe the result of a well meaning surgeon. As hard as we try, we are still human and it is sometimes difficult to translate what someone wants in terms of results into the actual surgical result.
What about computer imaging? Mostly, this is just a marketing gimmick. Just because surgeon a can make you look beautiful on a computer, doesn’t mean she can in the OR. Just understand that a “good-bad” result is always a possibility no matter who your surgeon is. Check out this article from MSNBC for more insight.
