Plastic
Surgery Gone Wrong Not Just News
As
with just about anything in life, there are many things that can
go wrong with plastic surgery. But just as we dont hear news reports
about the millions of planes that have taken off and landed safely,
there is not the same attention devoted to the many success stories
of cosmetic surgeries as there is to plastic surgery gone wrong.
There are risks involved with this type of surgery, as there are
in undergoing operations of any kind, but the usual difference
is that while no doctor can force a patient to have surgery of
any kind - even if it is a life-saving operation to remove a cancerous
tumor - plastic surgery is generally a little more elective than
the other.
And
perhaps this is why we seem to delight in hearing about plastic
surgery gone wrong. Nowhere is our interest in celebrities as
heightened or as vicious as in this arena. While assigning the
delight we find in the personal disaster of another human being
to jealousy might be overly simplistic, there is doubtlessly a
sense here of revelling in the fall of someone we thought - or
felt they thought themselves - to be untouchable.
It
seems that regardless of the expensive doctors they might have
access to, the rich and famous are as susceptible to the vagaries
of happenstance as the rest of us - sometimes, things simply just
go wrong. Plastic surgery has literally been the death of some,
and side effects can be life threatening. Even relatively minor
mishaps can be unsightly and embarrassing, and plastic surgery
gone wrong includes an enormous range of problems, from capsular
contraction in breast implants (where the implants harden painfully)
to problems with the wound and the slippage of implants inserted
in a range of locations, including cheeks, chin, and butt. Surely
we wouldn't wish these accidents on our worst enemies - unless
they were in the public eye.
So
celebrities might have thousands of things we think we want, but
they are as subject to the whims of higher powers just as the
rest of us are. Above all, we are all human, and plastic surgery
gone wrong, regardless of the paycheck of the life it affects,
is a painful and upsetting time. Lets just hope they get well
soon.
