Cosmetic surgery is a common procedure with many positive outcomes for patients. However, it can also lead to serious complications. Patients are often not informed about the risks, which can cause a lot of stress. Surgery is not a simple procedure. There are inherent risks associated with any type of surgery. However, some of these risks are more severe than others.
Vicarious experience
Vicarious trauma occurs when a person is exposed to traumatic events by a family member. The experience can lead to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and can be treated with professional help. People can share their feelings and concerns with family and friends. Even though it might be difficult to talk about the situation, it is important that people don't take someone's reaction personally. They should continue with their normal lives and keep in touch with family and friends.
Self-rated attractiveness
A recent study looked at the relationships between self-rated psychological well-being and physical attractiveness among adolescents. Participants were asked how attractive they felt about themselves and their self-reported feelings of self-harm and suicide. The results revealed that male adolescents felt more attractive than their female counterparts. In girls, however, self-rated attractiveness was negatively associated with internalized distress. These associations did not reach statistical significance in girls. They were related to self harm behavior and suicidal thoughts.
Religiousness
New research has shown that religion can have an impact on people's decision whether or not they want to consider cosmetic surgery. Researchers found that people who are more religious than others were less likely to undergo cosmetic surgery. However, more research is needed to determine the relationship between religiousness and the risk of cosmetic surgery.
Household income
A correlation was found between household incomes, and the possibility of having cosmetic surgery. The results suggest that individuals with higher incomes are more likely to undergo this procedure than those with lower incomes. To assess SES, the researchers used the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics' measure of household gross income. It is a well-known method of assessing SES. The results have shown that it can be used to assess health disparities within different socioeconomic classes.
Liquid silicone facial injections
Liquid silicone injections are a popular cosmetic surgery procedure, but there are risks associated with this procedure. Some patients might experience temporary swelling or bruising. Others may suffer serious complications such as inflammatory reactions. In addition, liquid silicone injections may migrate into other areas of the body, causing permanent damage. Extreme cases of treatment can lead to heart attacks.
Infections
Patients at high risk are those who have undergone cosmetic surgery. Although they are uncommon, infections can still occur even if antibacterial agents have been used. Different microorganisms can cause these infections. They are most commonly caused by Staphylococci and streptococci. There have been cases of infections caused by non-tuberculous microbacteria (NTMs). These infections can be hard to detect by standard gram staining and can resist many of the most common antibacterial drugs.
