I think people often forget about how unpredictable the results can be.
It’s so easy to think of plastic surgery as a way of enhancing your looks, much like going to a beauty parlor or nail salon. But the body does not respond the same with surgery as it does with putting make up on.
Plastic surgery, like any other type of surgery, essentially creates a controlled wound on the body. The only real difference with cosmetic surgery, is that the wounds are designed specifically to enhance the shape, size and look of the desired area.
The problem is that each person’s healing characteristics are different which means the results will highly be affected by how your body responds to wounding. Patients asking for Kim Kardashian’s butt or Pamela Anderson’s boobs might come out disappointed once they see their final results.
Even with a skilled and experienced surgeon your healing behavior cannot be changed. This is part of the reason why most surgeons are very upfront during consultation, to ensure the patient is on the same page when it comes to the unpredictability of plastic surgery.
