Among the most sought-after cosmetic surgery procedures include breast augmentation, abdominaplasty (more commonly known as the tummy tuck) and lip enhancement.

Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that can enhance the size and shape of one’s breasts through the use of implants and other techniques. Many doctors use the submuscular periareolar approach or through the nipple method when inserting breast implants. Compared to other procedures, this method allows for more visibility and easier maneuvering for the surgeon.

Abdominaplasty or the “tummy tuck” procedure is another popular cosmetic surgery option. The constant presentation of women as incredibly slim in both entertainment media and advertisements has created the notion that one must have a flat stomach in order to become attractive.

Lip enhancement procedures have also gained popularity. Full, shapely lips are considered to be an attractive trait in almost every culture all over the world. In Hollywood, the full-lipped, almost pouty look has been popularized by many celebrities and actresses.

In fact, a study released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that in 2008, approximately 12.1 million cosmetic procedures were done all over the US. The study also showed that 91% of all cosmetic procedures were for women.

In major cities like Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, plastic surgery clinics can provide these much sought-after services.

Females are not the only vain creatures these days – more and more men are resorting to plastic surgery in a proposal to improve their looks, albeit through artificial and painful means. But while some men are choosing to go under the knife for purely personal or aesthetic reasons, others are taking the leap because they believe it will improve their career professionally – and make them a more powerful – or at least more attractive – force to be reckoned with.

The unfortunate fact is, men desire the similar things that women want: to look younger, fitter and thinner, with regular, even features and a healthy glow. They are starting to recognize that in today’s aggressive market, looking tired and haggard with droopy eyelids, dark circles and a weak chin just will not cut it. And if they have huge boobs and a fat belly to boot – well, forget about becoming a vice president in the firm, let alone the CEO.

It is estimated that the grooming market for men is worth more than $3.5 billion these days, with more and more members of the male species going under the knife for cosmetic reasons. In one study of people of the masculine persuasion carried out by – not surprisingly – a plastic surgeon, it was found that:

* Four percent believed that their level of bodily attractiveness would affect their success on the job, and make them seem more powerful

* 42 percent believed that their career would be made stronger if they could only improve one little thing about their face

* 32 percent thought that looking younger would affect their business performance more positively

Plastic Fantastic

Here is a list of the most common plastic procedures for men, in no specific order:

* Gynecomastia, or Male Breast Reduction. it is estimated that about 15 percent of all men are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts, and now some are finally doing something about it. Men develop man boobs, or moobs, for a range of reasons, including hormonal changes, steroid abuse and being drastically overweight. Surgery to get rid of them sometimes involves a full operation, while on some occasions means utilizing the latest in liposuction combined with laser surgery.

* Eyelid Surgery. Also known as blepharoplasty for men, this procedure can be purely cosmetic, functional or both. It seeks to correct both sagging upper eyelids, as well as puffy bags underneath the eyes. Usually performed under just local anesthesia, it trims away excess fat, muscle and skin, with the remaining bits reattached in a manner that makes the eye area appear younger and more refreshed. The result: tighter, more taut eyelids and smoother under-eye areas.

* Pectoral Enhancement. Men who have tried everything but still maintain a chicken chest are currently relying on pectoral implants to allow them the bosoms they have always dreamed of. If no amount of exercise and diet has made your chest appear less than concave, your surgeon can insert implants made of silicone directly underneath the chest muscle to make the area seem more filled out. Requires general anesthesia and an overnight hospital stay – much like a boob job (ED: what’s the difference then?).

* Nose Job, aka Rhinoplasty. Carried out using a local or general anesthetic, depending on what needs to be done and individual preference, this is an out-patient procedure which can significantly influence a person’s looks. Costs will vary though the broad majority of men who opt for this op say it is money well spent. Men can have rhinoplasty from the age of 15, girls from age 13 (that is when their nose stops growing, evidently!).

* Liposuction. This form of weight loss involves using a cannula to literally suck the fat from your body. In men, problem areas are generally the breasts, love handles, tummy, thighs and neck. Tiny incisions are made so the great majority of folk, if not all, will not actually notice you have had the procedure done. Some men even have it done on their backs…

* Hair Transplants. Many guys think that nothing makes them look less tough than a lack of hair. Male pattern baldness affects a great many men, so if you can not stand your head resembling a ping pong ball, this could be the treatment of choice. it is fairly simple: your surgeon will take “donor” hair from the sides or back of your scalp, then surgically insert them in the bald patches, where it will probably begin to grow. Then again, you could simply purchase a stylish hat…

* Chin and Jawline Augmentation Surgery. Nothing spells out weakness more in a man than having a weak chin – or so proponents of chin surgery would have us believe. As a firm chin and jawline are considered signs of a “real” man, many men try to correct theirs when they fall flat (or rounded, flabby and soft). Surgery consists of varying types of chin implants which make your jaw more angled and square.

* Penis Extension Surgery. If slicing through the penile ligament sounds appealing, this is the operation for you. This operation, also known as phalloplasty or male enhancement surgery, does not actually make your member more massive, it simply makes it dangle lower. You may prefer a different – and considerably more invasive – procedure where fat from another part of your body is injected into your Johnson to raise its girth. Ouch!

Non-Invasive Cosmetic Treatments for Men

Apart from full-on surgery, men are also investing in less invasive cosmetic operations to look better. it is estimated that about one-seventh of all Botox anti-wrinkle injections are done on men, and guys are also jumping on the injectable filler band-wagon, to smooth out wrinkle lines and plump up lips. In fact, the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Surgery reckons that between 2000 and 2007 there was 91 percent hike in the amount of men non-surgical facial enhancements.

Men make up 20 percent of all laser hair removal procedures as well, according to statistics. They are getting to grips with unwanted hair in more ways as well, with male waxing salons becoming better and more common to make chests, buttocks and backs sleek and smooth. Pretty hands and feet are no longer a woman-only domain either: the number of male manicures and pedicures are on the rise, among men of all sexual orientations, and hair salons for men are frequently a lot more than the simple barbershop of Andy Griffith’s day.

If you want a bit of plastic surgery, it does not matter if you are a guy or woman – what matters is that you have reasonable expectations and get a qualified, Board-certified surgeon in whom you have absolute trust. But if you believe that changing your appearance will drastically alter your life, think again. Beauty is merely skin deep; in the long run, the oomph behind the front is generally more important.

Visible scarring can be a major detriment to a poorly executed hair transplant procedure. Removing unacceptable linear scars by re-excision should be considered when scarring is well localized and the cosmetic benefit from its removal will be more than offset by the decreased density of the surrounding hair. Because of the importance of the surrounding area for camouflage, success in decreasing the size of an existing scar depends as much upon the choice of the scar as upon the actual surgical technique used to repair it.

A number of surgical techniques have the tendency to produce poor donor scars. An understanding of how these techniques may contribute to poor wound healing provides insight into how the repair may best be accomplished. The more common problems are:

* Deep donor incisions
* Wide donor strips
* Suturing with large bites
* Poor wound edge approximation
* Non-contour incisions
* Donor incisions placed too low
* Donor incisions placed too high

Deep Donor Incisions  -

The fascia acts as a structural support for the healing wound. When this support has been violated, the risk of having a widened scar is greatly increased. The use of copious amounts of tumescent anesthesia infiltrated directly into the subcutaneous fat will elevate the dermis and increase the distance from the base of the follicles to the fascia. This is probably the single best way to keep the wound superficial.

With the single-strip harvesting method used in Follicular Unit Transplantation, if the outer edges of the donor strip are cut too superficially, they can be easily deepened with a single blade as the strip is being lifted from the scalp. When using a multi-bladed knife, the standard tool in mini-micrografting, multiple superficially cut strips are almost impossible to deepen in-vivo, and once removed from the scalp further dissection is extremely problematic. Because of this, the surgeon has the tendency to cut more deeply with a multi-bladed knife and this increases the risk of cutting through fascia.

Once the fascia has been cut, the healing will partially obliterate the subcutaneous space. The elimination of this natural surgical plane makes it difficult to judge the depth of subsequent excisions. In the repair, it is therefore important for the surgeon to have greater control over the wound depth. This is best accomplished by using a single-bladed scalpel that allows each wound edge to be treated separately. A single blade is also beneficial when the scarred area is devoid of hair and the angle of the incision does not need to follow the angle of the follicle. In this case, a more perpendicular incision will enable better edge to edge contact and avoid the thin, friable upper edge produced by the fixed angle of some multi-bladed knifes.

When the harvesting is superficial and there is no tension on the wound, a layered closure is rarely needed, as there is no place to position the deeper sutures without impinging on follicles and there is no need to suture the fascia, as it has been left intact. In contrast, with a repair the fascia has often been violated. A meticulous layered closure that includes fascia is important because there is often significant wound tension and the sutured scar tissue regains its wound strength more slowly than normal hair-bearing scalp.

Although one should never undermine in a properly planned harvest in a virgin scalp, in a repair procedure conservative undermining is sometimes required. Undermining should generally be carried out in a superior direction with care to stay deep to the fascia or scar tissue so that follicular damage will be avoided. Undermining in an inferior direction will allow the movement involved in neck flexion to be transmitted to the wound edge, increasing the potential to stretch.

When a layered closure is required, interrupted sutures provide the most secure and controlled approximation of the deeper tissues. Polyglactin 910 (3-0 Coated Vicryl) is a braided absorbable suture that has good tensile strength and handling properties and is an excellent material for deep sutures. Recently, we have been using the synthetic monofilament Poliglecaprone 25 (3-0 Monocryl) for deep closures. This suture has the advantage of causing less inflammation but, being a monofilament, tends to cut through the tissue more easily and is slightly more difficult to tie.

Wide Donor Strips -

In the era of mega-sessions, taking too wide a donor strip has been a common problem in hair transplantation surgeries. A wide strip places unnecessary tension on the donor closure and leads to a widened scar. Hair loss associated with this type of closure does not adequately compensate for advantages of the larger session. When larger sessions are appropriate, and the scalp does not have good mobility, the surgeon should consider a longer incision rather than a wider one. Harvesting a donor strip of appropriate width, so that there is minimal tension on the wound closure, is the single most important thing that a surgeon can do to minimize donor scarring.

Once a wide initial incision had been identified as the cause of a widened scar, it is preferable to wait at least eight months so that the scar has a chance to mature and regain some of its original laxity. On re-excision, it is advisable to make the new strip at least 3-6mm narrower than the previous one. When a tight closure is the cause, one should generally not attempt to remove the entire width of the old scar since this invariably leads to a reoccurrence, or worsening, of the old scar. To facilitate healing, the new excision should extend into one hair-bearing edge. In other situations, when adequate laxity is present, removing the entire scar width may be beneficial. When two hair-bearing areas are approximated, the healing seems to be improved. The issue of whether the additional wound security from suturing into a hair-bearing edge outweighs potential hair loss from the suturing itself should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

In general, the surgeon should not attempt to remove the entire length of the old scar, as a shorter incision will create less tension on the closure. The repair excision may extend further anteriorly than the previous excision, but should not go to the contra lateral side, as the suturing of one side will create tension on the other. If the repair is successful, the remaining scar may be removed in a subsequent session.

A creative way to repair the defects caused by tension closures, called “Deep Plane Fixation” has recently been proposed by Seery. In this technique, he “channels away the tension forces from the superficial, at risk tissues, into deeper tissues where they are harmlessly dissipated.” The procedure is accomplished by first suturing the deep dermis of the superior wound edge to the deep tissues or fascia of the inferior wound edge. The upper dermal/epidermal components of the two wound edges are then sutured together, end-to-end, ideally without tension.

Suturing with Large Bites -

When suturing with large bites a significant amount of hair-bearing scalp is incorporated within the sutures. Especially with a running stitch, any post-op edema or tension in the donor area will tend to compromise the blood supply of the entrapped tissue and may result in permanent hair loss. In addition, if there is any tension on the wound, the mechanical pressure of the sutures can cause hair loss. In the repair procedure, it is useful to use horizontal mattress sutures to reduce wound tension. Small bites, very close to the wound edge, are recommended for the superficial closure. The cutaneous suture, Poliglecaprone 25 (5-0 Monocryl), is excellent due to its low tissue reactivity and relatively slow loss of tensile strength (2-3 weeks). Metal staples are useful when sutures need to be left in place for extended periods of time. However, staples have the disadvantage of not allowing for perfect wound edge apposition and causing greater post-operative discomfort than sutures. The advantage of staples in being less destructive to hair follicles than a running suture is of less importance when the closure involves mostly scarred scalp.

Poor Wound Edge Approximation -

Perfectly opposing the wound edges of the donor incision is a key factor in preventing the scar from stretching. Since the incision made in harvesting the strip should follow the angle of the hair, one edge will necessarily be acute and the other obtuse. Suturing techniques that do not account for the different angles of the two wound edges will not be able to keep the edges flush and will result in inadequate dermal-dermal contact and a spread wound.

Careful suture placement with small bites is the best means of keeping wound edges apposed, but it is often a time-consuming process. Although faster to place, metal staples do not allow for the same amount of control as sutures and can result in a wider scar, especially if there is any tension on the wound. If the wrong suture material or poor suturing technique can be identified as the cause of the wide scar, this can be remedied by a more meticulous closure using the appropriate sutures.

Non-Contour Incisions -

Incisions that do not follow the natural curved contour of the skull tend to heal with wider scars than those that follow it. When a re-excision is planned, it is important to have the new excision follow the natural curvature of the skull, regardless of the linearity of the original excision and regardless of whether the new excision completely encompasses the old excision. Special care should be taken so that the re-excision stays above the mastoid area. It is sometimes useful to make the excisions narrower in this area. In most cases, the focus should be on reducing the size of the original scar and changing its direction, rather than on eliminating it entirely.

Donor Incisions Placed Too Low -

Of the various factors contributing to a widened donor scar, the most problematic with respect to the repair is a low incision on the posterior scalp. Some surgeons feel that hair lower down on the scalp is a good source of fine hair, however, this hair may not be permanent and harvesting it may result in unacceptable scarring due to the location. In the rare instance that 1-hair follicular units are not delicate enough, (such as in the front edge of the temples, or the leading edge of a female hairline) fine hair may be generated by removing all, or part, of the bulb of terminal hair harvested from the mid-permanent zone.

As discussed in the section “Limitations,” the most desirable position for the donor scar is in the mid-portion of the permanent zone. In most individuals, this lies at the level of the external occipital protuberance, at the midline, and the superior nuchal ridge, as one moves laterally. The trapezius muscle, the most superficial muscle of the nuchal area, originates from the superior nuchal line and the ligamentum nuchae. Incisions that lie below the nuchal line will thus be affected by the muscle movement directly below it and have a greater tendency to stretch. This problem is exacerbated when a deep donor scar obliterates the subcutaneous layer and muscle movement in the neck is more directly transmitted to the overlying skin.

It has been advocated by some that wide donor scars can be treated with re-excision in conjunction with aggressive undermining, and possibly tissue expansion. However, even the conservative re-excision of a widened scar that is located in the inferior portion of the occipital scalp carries a significant risk of healing with an even wider scar. Scars in this area should not be re-excised and, if additional transplants are performed, hair should be harvested from an incision made above it in the mid-permanent zone, leaving a thin zone of hair separating the upper and lower incisions. Instead of attempting to remove a difficult scar, its appearance may be more consistently improved by the addition of small amounts of hair to the area, with far less risk.

Donor Incisions Placed Too High -

When a donor incision has been placed too high, it is best left untreated unless the scar is wide and poor surgical technique has been identified as the cause. Often, the surgeon who used poor judgment in placing the wound too high did an equally poor job in the closure. In this case, there is a reasonable chance the scar may be improved with better techniques. As with other scars, one should generally attempt to lessen or improve the appearance, rather than trying to remove the scar entirely.

The temptation to add hair into a high scar should be resisted, as progressive balding would isolate the hair-bearing scar and present new cosmetic problems, demanding additional hair. An exception to this is placing hair into the lower portion of a vertical scalp reduction scar that dipped way down into the permanent donor fringe.

Implantation of Hair -

When a localized area of a donor scar is cosmetically bothersome, its excision is impractical, and there is easily accessible donor hair in other areas, it may be beneficial to place hair directly into the widened donor scar. Two and three-hair follicular units are the most useful for this purpose and should be inserted at very acute angles. Only a small amount of hair is generally needed to soften the appearance of a scar. Dedicating too much hair for the purpose is unnecessary and wasteful. It appears that grafts do not grow well when the scar is hypertrophic, and it is best to manage these scars with intra-lesional corticosteroids, 5-fluouracil or silicone gel sheeting, before attempting to add hair.

Conclusion -

The “science” in hair restoration surgery involves the ability to mimic nature as closely as possible, by carefully matching the newly transplanted hair to the patient’s original hair in its distribution and growth pattern. Once these principles have been violated, a standardized approach will no longer suffice in restoring the person’s normal appearance. Presented with dramatic cosmetic defects, a severely limited donor supply, and an exasperated patient, the surgeon attempting a repair faces a set of challenges quite different from those encountered when operating on a virgin scalp.

In corrective surgery, the judicious use of every graft is critical and setting surgical priorities is as important as the technique itself. In repair work, the routine, symmetrical placement of grafts will often not be sufficient to accomplish the patient’s goals. The surgeon must find ways to transform harsh walls of hair into soft hairlines and make small quantities of hair camouflage larger areas. The surgeon must be able to tap every bit of harvestable hair from the donor area and even reuse hair from previously transplanted grafts. To achieve the best results, the creative use of every follicular resource is required. This is the “art of repair.”

The aging process stops for no man or woman.  Time can cause unwanted changes in expression displaying moods that are not present internally.  An eyelid lift is designed to restore a more youthful appearance to your eyes. It may involve the upper lids, the lower lids, or both. Plastic surgeons approach to eyelid surgery has certainly changed over the past 5 to 10 years.  The traditional approach involved only the removing of tissues such as skin, fat and muscle.  Current techniques are focused on volumization of the peri-orbital area, restoring a youthful fullness.

For the lower eyelids an incision is made just below the lash line.  The skin and muscle of the lower lid are elevated to reveal the underlying fat pads.  Traditionally these fat pads were simply removed. Modern techniques however preserve this fat and use it to splay out over the bony prominences of the upper facial skeleton.  This has a tremendous softening effect in this area.  It is this volumization that creates a softness and youthful contour.

The lower eyelid surgery can done under local anesthesia if desired. It is done as an outpatient in most cases.  Icing of the area after surgery along with restriction of aspirin and aspirin containing products will help decrease bruising and swelling.  The sutures will be removed in 3 – 5 days.  Recovery is generally uneventful.  Make up can be reapplied when the sutures are removed.  The tricks to make up are that purple covers yellow, yellow covers purple and green covers pink.  Selecting the appropriate foundation will help most female patients get back to normal.

With media propagating figures of svelte women, every girl and woman wants herself to look her best, and age is no bar. Today from the age of seven to seventy, every woman wants to look young and slender.

One of the most sought out procedures among women is Abdominoplasty surgery popularly known as tummy tuck surgery.

One major reason for getting tummy tuck is post pregnancy flab around abdomen. 

Pregnancy leaves many women with loose muscles and stretch marks on the abdomen and one of the best solutions for that is a tummy tuck surgery. Whatever one does, the loose muscles and skin won’t go with any amount of workout and diet programme. This leaves many women with the option of cosmetic surgery to get back the flat abdomen.

Besides pregnancy, there are pockets of fat in abdomen which do not go however hard you try to get rid of them through exercises or healthy diet. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck gives a quick solution to all these problems.

”We have seen a constant rise for demand tummy tuck surgery especially among women between the age of 40-60 in the last few years”, says one of the consultants with Indicure. 

Tummy tuck is a major surgery and one must know the pros and cons about the surgery, whether you are the right candidate, difference between liposuction and tummy tuck before going ahead for the surgery.

Liposuction is the most common aesthetic procedure performed worldwide and in India as well. The popularity of liposuction surgery is on the higher side because of many factors, importantly peer pressure to look good, increasing lifestyle problems and improved safety and outcomes from the procedure.

One may accumulate fat because of dietary indiscretion, sedentary lifestyle or a combination of both. Women who have gone through childbirth may also find themselves in such a situation and they have to come to terms with stretch marks and loose skin in addition. It is often used in conjunction with other plastic surgery techniques; liposuction removes pockets of fat from troublesome areas such as femur (thighs), hips, abdomen, and upper arms. Liposuction procedures vary depending on what your ultimate cosmetic goal is, and whether you are combining liposuction surgery with other plastic surgery procedures. Many of them have only a vague concept of what liposuction is. Simply put, liposuction is the surgical removal of fat cells through a stainless steel suction tube called a cannula. Liposuction was first performed in 1974 and was a tremendous improvement over previous surgical body contouring techniques. There have been many advances in liposuction procedures over the last few decades, making it one of the safest and most popular body contouring surgeries in the world.

What are the Possible Health Side Effects of Liposuction Surgery?

The most common medical side effects of lipoplasty include:

Bruising – painful in the short term, but treatable with pain killers and reduces quite quickly.
Swelling – typically reduces in 4-6 weeks.
Scarring – varies according to the type of liposuction used and stitching technique. Usually fades over the coming months.
Pain – typically temporary and treatable by prescription or over-the-counter medication.
Numbness – typically fades after 3-4 weeks.
Mobility – can be reduced post-operatively for a while. Your plastic surgeon will advise you how soon you can resume normal activity.

What Areas of the Body Can Liposuction Treat?

The level of precision and safety Liposuction provides physicians to sculpt and shape delicate areas of the body, such as the arms, chin, neck, and inner thighs. Liposuction can remove fat from any area treatable with traditional liposuction techniques: abdomen, thighs, buttocks, knees, hips, back, arms, male breasts, love handles, chin, and neck areas. Because Liposuction Surgery does not harm the tissues surrounding the treated area, patients experience only minimal bruising.

Who is the right candidate for the Surgery?

Patients should be at least 18 years old.
Pregnant or lactating women cannot have liposuction.
Individuals with certain health problems may not be good candidates for liposuction.
Anyone who is taking blood-thinning medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory must discontinue use of the medication before and after surgery.
Lidocaine anesthesia is used in liposuction, and those with lidocaine allergies will be unable to undergo the procedure.

How much will it Cost me to get the surgery done?

Usually the liposuction surgery will cost between $1500 and $3000. National average is 2,578 U.S. dollars. Usually the price reaches 1,800 U.S. dollars for area (arms, chin, back, thighs, abdomen – the patients will need to pay additionally 900 U.S. dollars if waits is included).

Research conducted by Abbey shows that nearly one million (918,000) British adults plan to borrow money to pay to go under the knife, with the combined cost expected to reach around £1.4 billion.

The procedure of choice for Britons as a whole is breast augmentation, which is sought after by 27 per cent of those considering plastic surgery. The popularity of this course of action is presumably indicative of the fact that females account for two thirds of Brits considering going under the knife.

Tummy tucks were second on the list of operations which appealed to the most Britons, with 25 per cent of the vote, while 17 per cent are considering having rhinoplasties, or nose jobs.

According to study, the main reason for wanting to take out a uk personal loan in order to fund plastic surgery is to gain more confidence, as cited by 51 per cent of respondents to the poll.

An additional 32 per cent said it was for medical reasons, two per cent said it was down to peer pressure and one per cent say they feel forced into surgery as people laugh at various parts of their bodies.

Meanwhile, a survey of 52,000 people which appears in October’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal and was conducted in America suggests that the majority of people who are considering cosmetic surgery are content with their lot – they just want to look even better.

It had been previously thought that people who wanted to improve their looks suffered from low self esteem. However, this claim has been countered by Doctor Richard D’Amico, president-elect of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

“This study shows the majority of people who want plastic surgery have a normal level of body satisfaction,” he said.

“We use the term ‘look as good as you feel’ often and it is good to know this is why the average plastic surgery patient has a cosmetic procedure. They are not, in fact, suffering from low or poor self-esteem.”

Britons attempting to look as good as they feel are still most likely to have their procedure performed in the UK, the research shows, with 83 per cent opting to stay at home.

Meanwhile, six per cent choose to travel to eastern Europe and two per cent head for the USA to have their procedures carried out – presumably in an attempt to reduce the size of their loan.

When a plastic surgery goes wrong, there are usually two things you can do: either to do another surgery to fix the first problem, or just live with the awful results for the rest of your life.

The second solution is definitely not so hopeful, so many people do the first. They go under another plastic surgery. In some cases it helps get their looks back.

But sometimes the second cosmetic surgery also makes things worse. That is when you really wish you wouldn’t even think of doing a plastic surgery in the first place.

But don’t worry, there are some simple secrets to help you guarantee the success of your cosmetic surgery, and to make sure yours will NOT turn into a plastic surgery disaster.

Before we get to these tips, let’s first ask this very important question…

How to Protect Yourself from Plastic Surgery Disasters

The last time you asked this question from a plastic surgeon or doctor, they most probably told you not to worry, and that it’s totally safe. They may go on talking about their track record of successful surgeries and try to convince you that nothing can possibly go wrong.

Well, the truth is usually not that easy. If the doctor has a few plastic surgery disasters in his background, he definitely won’t let you know about them. Why would he? He doesn’t want to lose a paying customer.

So it’s our responsibility to find out about it, my friend.

Before choosing a doctor to do your cosmetic surgery, it is important to do your homework and research carefully about his skills and previous success rates.

During the 1950’s, the use of newfound sex hormones helped a large number of transsexuals obtain the physical features of the desired gender – bigger breast, softer skin and a more feminine of masculine figure. And during the same period of time, in 1954, American transsexual Christine Jorgensen was among the first to undergo a sex change surgery. Due to the success, sex reassignment surgery, also known by its abbreviated form SRS, became increasingly popular.

The most common purposes of such a surgery include:

- To assign one sex to babies with gender identity disorder, or
- To alter the sex for men and women who are physically a different sex than they are mentally. In this case, SRS is usually performed at the age of 18-21 when the patient is of a legal age to decide on medical treatment without having to ask the parents.

Most cases are known to be successful, especially conversion from male to female. Babies with an ambiguous gender are usually assigned to the female gender unless the male organ is more obvious.

Male to female surgery involves removal of the penis, reshaping genital tissue, creating labia majora,sensate minor and arousement with sensate clitoris with average 5-7 inches constructing a vagina. Conversion from female to male is more difficult due to the complication of creating a functioning penis from the female genitals. Besides the genital organs, the breasts need to be surgically altered (removal for a more male appearance, and enlargement for a female appearance). This stage is more easily accomplished.

There has been a report of 68%-86% overall success rates for sex reassignment surgery. Thailand is especially famous for offering such a surgery, so much so that advertisements are often seen in publications. Sex reassignment surgeries are relatively cheap and easy compared to the United States and Europe, and Bangkok boasts some of the world’s most renowned surgeons. Some people have traveled around the world to receive a treatment in any of Thailand’s 33 accredited hospitals that offer such a procedure. It is estimated that 1,500 operations occur in Thailand each year, and the cost can be as cheap as a few thousand US dollars.

The procedure takes only four to six hours, but follow-up is a lot of work. “It is just hard to motivate yourself to [get up to walk after the surgery], as being in bed is nice, but walking when it is time to walk is extremely important and necessary,” said Audra, an American patient who underwent an SRS at Bangkok Plastic Surgery Clinic. “Make sure to following all instructions and never second guess those that are there to help you. They will not lead you down a road to failure; they will take you down the road of success.” As more people travel abroad for medical care, they must be aware of possible dangers and complications that can arise when the patient returns home, as well as follow the instructions with extra heed. Side effects and adverse reactions might occur after surgery, and it should also be noted that most procedures are irreversible.
