Common Plastic Surgery Myths

Posted by pristine on April 17th, 2021

Gone are the days when people believed that plastic surgery procedures were just for celebrities. Plastic surgery is a surgical procedure that may improve a person's appearance and self-esteem. Plastic surgery is becoming more popular as it allows you to achieve the perfect shape and size. However, there are many myths about plastic surgery that discourage people from looking their best.

When our patients come to us with a lot of myths and assumptions about plastic surgery procedures, it can be both funny and disheartening. As a result, the idea of debunking some of the most popular plastic surgery theories emerged, and here we are.

Myth 1: Cosmetic and plastic surgery are the same thing.

The reality- Cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are not synonymous terms. People mistakenly believe that these words have the same meaning, but this is not the case. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is used to enhance the aesthetic appearance of a body part, such as body contouring. Plastic surgery is used to repair dysfunctional parts of the body, while cosmetic surgery is used to improve the aesthetic appeal of a body part.

Myth #2: Only women can get plastic surgery.

The reality- The proportion of women who have plastic surgery treatments is higher than the proportion of men who have plastic surgery treatments. However, to say that plastic surgery is just for women is entirely incorrect. At Dr. Nikhil Ghubade's  Clinic, the ratio of male to female patients worked on is 1:3. Eyelid surgery, ear surgery, and Rhinoplasty are some of the most common plastic surgery procedures among men these days. Plastic surgery procedures can help both men and women enhance their appearance, regardless of gender.

Myth #3: Plastic surgery is extremely costly.

The reality- Plastic surgery used to be reserved for celebrities, but advanced and new technology have made treatments more accessible to the general public. As a result, Plastic Surgery can no longer be considered a privilege reserved for the wealthy.

Myth #4: Plastic surgery outcomes are permanent.

The reality- We all know, however, that nothing lasts forever. Choosing a well-trained plastic surgeon and following the post-operative instructions will help you obtain the best results from your plastic surgery procedure. However, natural factors such as ageing, which will undoubtedly influence the appearance and structure of your skin, are beyond your control.

Myth #5: Plastic surgery is risky.

The reality. Plastic surgery operations carry some health risks, but you don't have to put your life at risk. Because of advances in the industry, the majority of the procedures are now safe and risk-free. Additionally, if you select a board-certified plastic surgeon, they will work to reduce the complications of surgery.
