When people talk about bad plastic surgery then they usually have seen a picture of a celebrity who has had so many cosmetic surgery procedures that he or she looks totally unnatural already.
Sometimes things just go wrong. Every surgery has risks. There can be known and unknown side effects and complications. It's a statistical fact that these things happen. Even a top surgeon can't produce top results all time. All you can do is to reduce the risks as much as possible in advance of the surgery.
Cosmetic surgery can't solve all problems. Sometimes people expect too much and urge the surgeon to do things that are near to impossible to do. Finally though, it is on the surgeon to decide what is possible and not. If a young woman wants huge breast implants he could send her away but the truth is, that the woman will most likely find a surgeon who will do the surgery. It is the same with a woman who is asking for her fifth face lift. There is no way this looks natural but one will do it.
If people can easily see that someone had a cosmetic surgery then it is bad plastic surgery, no matter how well the surgery was done from a medical point of view. If the surgery looks unnatural then it was a failure. The goal of an aesthetic improvement of the look was missed.
There is a reason why cosmetic surgery costs that much. An excellent surgeon is also like an artist. He must know what results a cut here and an incision there has on the overall appearance of the patient. Making a perfect cut is not enough. He must have experience from many previous surgeries in order to know what looks good and what not.
The media is full of pictures of failed cosmetic surgeries. Often the results are irreversible. Maybe the surgeon just had a bad day, maybe unexpected side effects ruined a good work. Fact is that you probably risk a lot when you try to save a few Dollars by choosing a cheap surgeon.
Let's talk about complications. There are various things that can happen like, nerve damage, paralysis or blood clots for example. This can happen in every surgery but a nerve damage during a face lift could have dramatic consequences.
Another possible complication is an infection. An infection can evolve to a serious threat and ruin the results of a good surgery. Blood loss is one cause of an infection. If a surgery, for example a liposuction, leads to high blood loss then the risks of an infection increase as well.
When it comes to bad plastic surgery then most people are afraid of scars and other skin damages. No matter how good it looks below your skin, if the skin has problems then it won't look good. There can be skin death or necrosis, asymmetry, numbness or a loss of sensation, dimples or puckers. All things you definitely don't want.
You must be aware that many of the side effects will never go away. You pay a high price when you don't do your homework. The best way to reduce the risk factors by choosing an excellent surgeon who has specialized in the cosmetic surgery you are looking for. The second risk factor is the patient itself. Make sure you life healthy. Smoking or a high fat diet can increase the risk of complications.
