Cosmetic procedure
Cosmetic procedures are performed to reshape
structures of the body and to alter a person’s
appearance. Like any form of surgery, cosmetic
procedures need a specialist surgeon trained in the
procedure, including appropriate recovery time,
healing and proper care. Risks include problems
related to anaesthesia and surgery, excessive
bleeding, infection, scarring and failure to heal.
Procedures are available for almost any part of the body, but the choice to undergo cosmetic surgery should not be taken lightly. The results are often permanent, so it is important to be sure about the decision, to use an appropriate practitioner, and to have the right motivation.
