When Natural Beauty Fails- Plastic Surgery Enters!

Everyone dreams of a wonderful beauty. Some even dream for a face that could launch a thousand vessels. But that’s in dream and not in real world. In real world, each of us will always have something bad to notice in ourselves especially in the way we look. We can never deny the fact that our sense of vision is very powerful that our first impression will always depend on the way a person looks.

And then, here comes our perception of beauty. Though as they say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, it is saddening that with the help of media, most people have a distorted perception of beauty. The unbelievable beauty we see on TV, movies make us feel “not good enough” to categorize ourselves as “ugly”. But then, let’s jump on the bandwagon and let other people decide on what the true essence of beauty is for us. As in the year-after-year Miss Universe Q & A portion: “What is the essence of a woman?”, “Skin deep beauty” is ‘never’ the ideal answer.

But, now let’s talk about reconstructive plastic surgery. The one that people don’t undergo just to be more beautiful, but rather to live as most normally as possible. It is usually performed to correct functional impairment, improve function, and to approximate a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery includes hand surgery, craniofacial surgery for facial bone fractures or breaks, breast reduction, breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, microsurgery, tumor removal, cleft lip and palate surgery, scar and laceration repair, the treatment of burns and creating a new outer ear when one is congenitally absent.

Pediatric craniofacial surgery mostly revolves around the treatment of congenital anomalies, while hand surgery is concerned with acute injuries and chronic diseases of the hand and wrist. Microsurgery is reconstruction of missing tissues by transferring a piece of tissue to the reconstruction site and reconnecting blood vessels. Free flaps of skin, muscle, bone, fat, or a combination may be removed from the body, moved to another site on the body, and reconnected to a blood supply by suturing arteries and veins.

Plastic surgery, no matter how minor, is still a medical procedure which can affect your physical wellbeing and health. Consider very carefully the benefits and drawbacks of the surgery you’re interested in. While physical beauty is something we all appreciate and strive for, sometimes surgery isn’t the first and the only option. Make a well informed decision; know all of the risks, complications, and benefits involved before making a final decision. Also, consider your other options and make a list of comparison of its benefits and risks. Make sure to write it down so you can look at it from time to time until you can come up with a prudent and realistic decision.

Some people find their physical flaws seriously limit their social interaction, personal success, and their overall self-satisfaction. This is a common issue but can be a serious problem when taken to obsession. Obsession can be more likely a matter of mental health than an issue of physical appearance.
