We had a chat with a Spectrum aesthetics surgeon and asked him about the myths of cosmetic surgery.
Myth 1 – The Term Plastic Surgery And Cosmetic Surgery Are Interchangeable
No, they are not. Both the practices are very closely related but are not the same. Cosmetic surgery aesthetically enhances and beautifies a person, while plastic surgery helps to heal a person. Cosmetic surgery would involve procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation, facelift, while plastic surgery involves procedures like burn repair surgery, breast reconstruction, etc.
Myth 2 – Cosmetic Surgery Is Only For Women
No, all genders can avail the benefits of cosmetic surgery. Even Men get cosmetic surgery like Rhinoplasty, thread lift, facelift, liposuction, tummy tucker, Gynecomastia, etc. As per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ annual report, more than 1.3 million men in the United States went under the knife (or needle) in 2018.
Myth 3 – There Is An Age Restriction For Rhinoplasty
Yes. Patients below the age of fifteen are discouraged from taking Rhinoplasty. Doctors advise patients to undergo the procedure only when they are past their growing age. Human bodies tend to evolve as they grow, so a nose job might or might not look good once the patient is fully developed. So it is discouraged.
Myth 4 – Breast Implants Can Melt
They certainly can, but not in the human body. Breast implants generally are made of silicone gel or saline. They both have the covering of silicone, and their high burning point is 392 degrees Fahrenheit. A human cannot take heat above 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It is unlikely that a human will put himself in such a situation. Hence, the melting of implants poses no danger to humans.
Myth 5 – Cosmetic Surgeries Are Not Reversible
True. Cosmetic surgery that is invasive in nature cannot be reversed. They can be retouched and redone but reversing them is rarely possible. However, the effects of non-invasive surgery like botox can be reversed by removing the liquid from the face.
Myth 6 – Botox Freezes The Muscle Of The Face
True. Botox does freeze the muscle of the face. Botox helps to fine-tune the wrinkles in and around the face. It also helps in delaying the process of aging. However, some patients tend to get overboard with botox and get too much liquid filled in. Overfilling of botox makes them look expressionless.
