In recent years, plastic surgery has become increasingly popular. But a question has emerged: Is plastic surgery a follower of deformities?
Some plastic surgery procedures have indeed led to deformities. Take the calf nerve blocking surgery for example. It’s a procedure that cuts some nerve branches to make the calf muscles atrophy and thus achieve the effect of slimming the legs. However, this surgery can cause irreversible damage. The nerves that are cut cannot recover, and it may affect a person’s ability to run, dance, or do other activities that require muscle explosiveness. What’s worse, the other muscle groups in the leg may compensate and become hypertrophic, causing the calf to become thick again.Another example is the bone-breaking heightening surgery. This surgery was originally used to treat limb deformities caused by diseases. But some people use it for aesthetic purposes, which is clearly prohibited. After the surgery, many people experience various complications such as foot drop, arthritis, osteomyelitis, wound infection, and nerve damage. Some even can’t walk or squat normally.
However, plastic surgery also has its positive aspects. Reconstructive plastic surgery, for instance, is often used to correct facial and body abnormalities caused by birth defects, injuries, diseases, or aging. Its goal is to improve body function and create a more normal appearance, which can enhance a person’s self-esteem. For example, a person who has suffered from a burn injury may have severe scarring on the face. Through plastic surgery, the scar can be improved, and the person’s appearance can be restored to a certain extent, helping them regain confidence.
Why do some plastic surgery procedures lead to deformities? One reason is the wrong aesthetic concept. In today’s society, some people blindly pursue a certain aesthetic standard, such as being extremely thin or having a certain facial shape. Under the influence of this concept, they choose some high-risk plastic surgery procedures without fully considering the consequences. Another reason is the lack of strict regulation of the plastic surgery market. Some unqualified medical institutions and doctors conduct plastic surgery procedures without sufficient qualifications and skills, resulting in poor surgical results.
In conclusion, plastic surgery is a double-edged sword. It can bring beauty and confidence to some people, but it can also cause deformities and health problems if not used properly. Therefore, people should have a correct understanding of plastic surgery, choose it rationally, and at the same time, the government and relevant departments should strengthen the regulation of the plastic surgery market to ensure people’s safety and health.
