Plastic Surgery Mishaps

October 8, 2012

Cosmetic/Plastic surgery is gaining in popularity; however, one surgical mistake during cosmetic or plastic surgery can lead to disfigurement, permanent injury, and even death.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported the following plastic and cosmetic surgery statistics:

• There was a 7% increase in plastic surgeries between 2010 and 2011
• Over 5.6 million Botox injections were administered
• 243,772 people had plastic surgery on the nose (Rhinoplasty)
• 204,702 people had liposuction
• 307,180 breast augmentation surgeries were performed
• 196,286 people had eyelid surgery
• 119,026 people received facelifts

Although Cosmetic/Plastic surgery procedures are quite common, there is still a lot of risk involved. Not everyone who has Cosmetic/Plastic surgery is satisfied with the outcome; in fact, many people are severely injured as a result of the surgery. Inexperience, negligence, substance abuse, and lack of proper training and education may all play a part in surgical errors. Blindness, brain damage, and infection are just some of the serious side effects that Cosmetic/Plastic surgery patients may experience if they are the victim of a botched surgery.
