We usually see bad plastic surgery only when the media publish pictures of celebrities that had some kind of cosmetic surgery. One would mean that these celebs would have the money and the right advisers to pick the best possible surgery but when you look at the results sometimes it is amazing what you see. It just looks not natural.

Another example of bad plastic surgery can happen when something goes wrong during the surgery. There are always risks and complications with any surgery and nobody, even the most experienced surgeon, is immune against failure. Sometimes things go wrong, even if everything was taken in consideration and the preparation was perfect. Talk about bad luck.

You can also talk about bad plastic surgery when the plastic surgeon is overdoing things, often because of the patient who urges the surgeon to do something unusual. That could be a surgery that is known to very risky or out of the scope of standard, proven procedures. One example are extremely large breast implants or face lifts on 80 year old grandmas who want to look like 20.

No matter what happened, a bad plastic surgery is easily to identify. What is the real point of doing a cosmetic surgery? To look more beautiful. It's the biggest success for plastic surgery when you actually don't see it. When you look at a beautiful person and you can't say for sure if the beauty is made up or not then the surgeon has done a good job.

A good plastic surgeon must also be an artist. He must take the personality and character of the patient into consideration. The overall appearance must fit. The results of the cosmetic surgery must perfectly integrate. If the surgeon just focuses on the surgery and not how the results blend with the rest of the body then he is flying blind and the results could be called bad plastic surgery.

The media is full of pictures of a failed cosmetic surgery. Often the results are irreversible. Maybe the surgeon just had a bad day, maybe unexpected side effects ruined a good work. Fact is that you probably risk a lot when you try to save a few Dollars by choosing a cheap surgeon.

Complications are part of the life of any plastic surgeon. Just because you have no medical necessity for the surgery doesn't protect you against possible negative outcomes of a surgery. If you get an eyelid surgery or a face lift for example and the surgery causes a nerve damage your look could be ruined for life.

Infections are still a big risk with any surgery. The infection could have a very bad impact on a cosmetic surgery. A simple rule says that the risk of an infection increases with the loss of blood. A surgery where you can loose a lot of blood is a fat removal surgery for example.

Skin problem are another major problem. Every surgery leaves scars behind but there could be more if you have bad luck. There can be a decrease of sensation, asymmetry or numbness. The older the skin the higher the risks for skin problems that stay.

To reduce the chances to become a victim of bad plastic surgery you should reduce two main risk factor, one is the surgeon and the other the patient. The patient usually wants and expects too much. Inform yourself what is possible and what remains a dream. Then choose the best surgeon you can find for money. If you save here then you risk your health.
