Can You Be Disqualified From Getting Plastic Surgery?
Thanks to the Kardashians and K-Pop, plastic surgery has become immensely popular. Much before these events, our popular mainstream Hindi shows depicted cosmetic transformations in varied and wild situations (yes, we are talking about the popular Ekta Kapoor shows from the early 2000s!) You might be interested in getting body contouring plastic surgery done like liposuction or breast augmentation to achieve a certain aesthetic. Or you might be looking to reduce pain and discomfort with procedures such as breast reduction. But remember that these transformations are more than skin-deep and can have serious repercussions on both your physical and mental health. And not all are qualified to get cosmetic surgery done.
The best and safest way to know if you qualify for one is by talking to a licensed plastic surgeon like Dr. V.S. Rathore who will work with you to ascertain your risk factor and help with the right diagnosis and procedure.
Reasons That Disqualify You from Undergoing Cosmetic Surgery
Your eligibility for a cosmetic procedure will depend, among other things, on the procedure that you wish to undertake. For example, minimally invasive procedures such as scar revision or mole removal are safe for the majority of people. But other procedures like breast augmentation are more invasive plastic surgery procedures. People with certain medical conditions will automatically be more vulnerable in such cases.
Physical condition is not the only ground on which you can be disqualified. Now, it is very natural that you will have certain expectations from a cosmetic surgery but they should also be realistic. A plastic surgeon, on sensing unrealistic expectations from the procedure on the patient’s part, will be well within the rights to decline to perform any surgery.
Also, unhealthy habits such as smoking or drinking or drugs, poor dietary habits and a high body mass index are important criteria that can render you ineligible for plastic surgeries. So you must follow a healthy routine and stop smoking or drinking before any cosmetic procedure.
Top 3 Reasons to Get Disqualified for Plastic Surgery
Now, we come to certain specific conditions that strictly prohibit people from opting for cosmetic procedures.
1. Expectations that Are Way too Unrealistic
Cosmetic surgeries to remove stubborn fat deposits or change the appearance of your nose or the shape of your breasts are understandable. We know how important it is to some people that they look a certain way or reach certain body goals. But these procedures cannot stop you from ageing or reverse signs of ageing. It is also not a procedure for weight loss. Thus, these do not replace your normal healthy lifestyle. Also, working on healthy body goals and image is a long-term process so if you are looking for quick fixes, maybe you are not yet ready for plastic surgery.
2. Underlying Health Issues
All surgeries, particularly ones that involve anaesthesia, come with complications. Medical conditions like body mass index higher than 30 or high blood pressure increase chances of post-surgical stroke or heart attack and infections. Additionally, if pregnant, then a surgeon will probably postpone it till after 6 months post-delivery. This is because plastic surgery increases the chances of premature delivery and even causes miscarriage.
3. Surgical Complications in the Past
Previous surgical complications like blood clots or excessive bleeding or infections can make you ineligible for any kind of surgery, let alone plastic surgery. For an elective procedure, it is best to measure the pros and cons. And if your surgeon is sure of your safety, then only will you be able to get a cosmetic procedure done.
Conclusion
Many cosmetic surgery procedures are last resort methods that one must take only after a detailed conversation with a professional doctor. If you are highly influenced by social media trends, then know that the real picture is a bit too complicated. In case you are struggling with body image issues and spiralling down a risky slope, know that Dr V.S. Rathore can help you. To know more, call us and book an appointment at the earliest.
