Aesthetic Surgery: 3 myths to dispel

Is Aesthetic Surgery Painful?

The first myth that I feel I absolutely dispels: cosmetic surgery is not painful, indeed cosmetic surgery MUST NOT be painful .

The most common procedures such as: mastoplasty, liposuction , abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty do not in themselves involve significant post-operative pain but, especially nowadays, analgesic therapy is very advanced so any discomfort can be safely controlled pharmacologically . Any residual discomfort can be easily eliminated with a few days home therapy prescribed by the surgeon or anesthesiologist who performed the operation.

Is Aesthetic Surgery Dangerous?

Second myth to dispel: the danger of cosmetic surgery. While in plastic reconstructive surgery there can also be long and extremely "stressful" interventions for the organism , in cosmetic surgery relatively short interventions and with a decidedly modest commitment to the organism are faced (e.g. significant blood losses are never expected ) .

However, it must be specified that non-hazard occurs only if:

1.      if you perform a correct pre-operative evaluation with a surgeon and anesthesiologist
2.     we rely on competent professionals
3.     Surgery is performed in a properly equipped clinic.

So if these three rules are followed, cosmetic surgery is NOT dangerous.

I repeat that every patient should demand the application of all three recommended points, otherwise there is the risk of making what normally would not be dangerous.

Immediate resumption of daily activities after an intervention?

Third myth to dispel: after cosmetic surgery you can immediately resume normal daily activities. Absolutely wrong since it is always surgery and as such all precautions must be taken to ensure the best result and among these the first is post-operative rest.

Even the simplest surgery such as a small lip aspiration or the removal of a cyst, if not followed by rest, can see increased complications such as the formation of hematomas and bad scarring resulting in more visible and unsightly scarring.

I therefore recommend that you carefully follow the instructions of the surgeon who will explain if and how much bed rest , how long before returning to work and how long before sporting activity is necessary

I conclude with the usual recommendation to rely on serious and qualified professionals, for a personalized consultation contact us or go from our office in Belfast   .
