What is Ethical Cosmetic Surgery?

Ethical cosmetic surgery is a term used to refer to surgical procedures that improve the appearance of body features. These procedures are typically carried out in order to boost self-confidence, as opposed to correcting medical issues like birth defects and injuries. Popular examples include rhinoplasty (nose jobs) and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

 
 

The Pros of Ethical Cosmetic Surgery

There are several advantages to ethical cosmetic surgery. For many, it can bring an improved sense of self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as better body image. Other potential benefits include increased physical attractiveness, improved social function, the correction of asymmetries in features that may have been caused by a birth defect or injury, improved breathing due to functional problems with nose appears or sinuses, and better body balance or posture due to bone/muscle augmentation.

The Cons of Ethical Cosmetic Surgery.

Unfortunately, the potential cons of ethical cosmetic surgery can’t be ignored. Risks that are generally associated with all surgeries, including anesthesia-related risks and infection could be present. The cost of cosmetic surgery can also be a deterrent, as it can often be quite expensive bills to pay. Finally, some patients may experience disappointment if the results aren’t as desired or imagined.

Ethical cosmetic surgery can also cause some people to develop body dysmorphic disorder, a mental condition in which a person becomes obsessed with certain features of their body. This obsession can lead to a preoccupation with the perceived flaws, and those affected may feel compelled to keep getting more surgeries in order to correct them. It can become difficult for an individual to stop once they start down this path, further exacerbating the issue. The potential risks of serious depression and decreased self-esteem are also important factors for patients considering any type of cosmetic surgery.

Alternatives to Ethical Cosmetic Surgery.

For those who are considering the idea of ethical cosmetic surgery, there are also some alternatives that can be looked into. These include non-invasive treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser resurfacing and injectable fillers. These treatments can often produce more subtle changes if opted for over a surgical procedure. There are also lifestyle changes that can be implemented to improve the appearance of skin or specific features, ranging from diet and exercise techniques to products or skincare regimens.

Questions You Should Ask Before Deciding on the Procedure.

Before deciding to go through with the procedure, it’s important to ask all of the questions you may have. These should include inquiries about the doctor’s qualifications, how many procedures they’ve done in the past, information on the recovery period and any potential long-term effects or side effects that could follow after surgery. As part of an ethical approach to cosmetic surgery, doctors should provide impartial advice and openly discuss the pros and cons associated with a procedure at hand.
