Safety of operations in Plastic surgery

If you are thinking of having a plastic surgery procedure, it is important to know some basic points about the safety of cosmetic procedures.

Plastic surgery operations are medical procedures and must be treated like any other surgery. In this context, the patient concerned must know and understand that, like any other surgery, cosmetic procedures are treated in the most serious way, as they involve potential risks.

For this reason, the instructions and precautions imposed by the physician before the patient consents to any operation should be taken seriously.

Nevertheless, it must be emphasized that  Aesthetic – Plastic surgery operations are considered the most harmless operations among all other surgical specialties . The reasons are simple, since the operations are performed on healthy “patients”, at a selected time, there is complete preparation of the patient (pre-planning, pre-operative control), they are usually related to the superficial anatomy and of course they are performed by trained Plastic surgeons.

The Plastic surgeon you choose should always prioritize. First of all, it should protect the patient’s life, dexterity and finally the good aesthetic result. In no case should these priorities be violated and a risk taken in order to achieve a better or greater result, either by one’s own decision or by the patient’s own insistence. E.g. combining more than one major surgery on the same day, or operating on a patient with serious health problems, or, operating in an inappropriate location without the necessary safety measures, could have tragic results.

In this direction, special importance must also be given to the doctor’s relationship with the patient. This relationship is unique and governed by the ethical principles of Medical science. In this way, the correct cooperation between patient and doctor is achieved and the best possible result is possible in the safest way.
