Cosmetic Surgery is Major Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is major surgery and can bring unforeseen side effects just as any operation can. In 2011, there were 9.2 million cosmetic surgeries performed in the U.S., with breast augmentation and liposuction being the most popular. There are a variety of ways a surgery can go wrong from wrong site surgery to wrong patient surgery, from the use of unsanitary medical implements to poor surgery conditions that lead to infection.
Some of the negative impacts of cosmetic surgery errors include:
- Disfigurement
- Nerve damage
- Tissue damage
- Organ damage
- Infection
- Bad scarring
- Surgical complications
- Inability to work
- Undue pain and suffering
