Plastic Surgery: Main Concepts, Disadvantages and Risks

Have you ever thought of getting plastic surgery because of a part of your body you think doesn’t look nice? Perhaps a bump on your nose that you were born with that you have been trying to get rid of forever. Many people think that getting plastic surgery will help you a lot when it comes to looks. But others know that it can be bad for your health and maybe even lead to death. Even though plastic surgery can make you look better and maybe even get rid of your cancer. I believe that plastic surgery is bad for you because it can cause cancer itself and it makes people feel different and make them feel like a different person and they might not like that.

 The first reason why cosmetic surgery can cause health problems is many fillers such as PMMA, a filler which is usually used to reduce wrinkles has been proven to cause cancer and other diseases. For example, 46-year-old Lillian Calixto died from a “far larger dose of PMMA” according to the article “Plastic Surgeon in Brazil Charged After Death.” PMMA is usually used to reduce wrinkles.Also, many other types of injections used in cosmetic surgery procedures have been proven to be risky and cause cancer and other diseases. Most procedures involve an injection of some sort in your body which can cause complications and be uncomfortable. Your body may even start to fight against the filler or injection. Most plastic surgery procedures are very dangerous and sometimes too risky to perform. And may even be deadly. 

The FDA has proven that it causes cancer and should only be used in small doses. It’s not just fillers and injections but many breast implants have also caused rare types of cancer that are much harder to cure. Most fillers used in plastic surgery are very harmful to your body whether they are used in small doses or bigger doses. They can cause cancer and diseases that are deadly. All types of fillers/injections carry some sort of danger. They may make you look hundreds of times better but at the same time, you will have something in your body that shouldn’t be there. Plastic surgery games have a bad, negative impact on kids. They make kids much more violent and disrespectful. 

Many times when adults get plastic surgery it affects their kids, making them play these games and maybe have plastic surgery themselves. Many kids have started playing plastic surgery games maybe because their family members have gotten plastic surgery or they just saw it on the app store. These apps are usually free which is something kids look for when getting games. “Most importantly, though, the content isn't developmentally appropriate. It's confusing and scary for little kids and sends a potentially harmful message.” according to the article, “Plastic Surgery Game Apps Send Wrong Messages to Also, these games contain cartoon characters and bright colors which kids love and are easy to be lured into. 

They sometimes contain characters from famous kids cartoons which even further lures kids to these explicit games according to the article “Plastic Surgery Game Apps Send Wrong Messages to Kids.”This means kids are playing violent/explicit games which are not age appropriate. These games involve cutting skin with a scalpel and gluing and stitching skin together. This shows kids that cutting people with sharp objects is fine. It also tells them that they don’t look nice and should get plastic surgery. Plastic Surgery games have a negative impact on kids and their behavior towards others. It tells them that cutting people with sharp objects is fine and the games are explicit. 

They involve actual surgical procedures and other explicit material. The most important reason why plastic surgery is bad for you is that it makes people feel bad about themselves. They also don’t feel like the same person after getting surgery. Many surgeons also tell them about other “defects” in their body which furthermore lowers people’s self-esteem. For example, many people have complained about not feeling like the same person after getting some deformity on their body removed. According to the article “I Got a Nose Job and Regretted it.” Obviously getting plastic surgery to remove a part on your body that you don’t like might qqemake others around you say that you look worse or that you never looked bad. 

Plastic surgery may be able to make you look better, but it will make you feel bad because you don’t feel like the same person anymore. Many people may also say that you should never have gotten plastic surgery because you never looked bad. Or maybe they might say that you removed a part of your body that you have had since you were born. Plastic surgery might be great for you if you want to make yourself look better but it does have many negative impacts physically, and mentally. For example, many types of plastic surgery procedures may cause cancer or other diseases. Many kids have also started playing plastic surgery “games” that involve cutting the skin with a scalpel. 

The FDA has proven that most synthetic resins or fillers have a risk of causing cancer. They have also said to use them in small or no doses at all. Most people who get plastic surgery don’t know that it’s only a temporary fix and will end with something bad. Plastic surgery can leave you completely destroyed physically and mentally. It can make you look worse and make you feel even worse. It might make you happy for a week or two but later on, you will realize that you don’t feel like the same person anymore. You might also feel guilt after removing a part of your body you have had since you were born. Plastic surgery will never permanently solve your problems.
