person to undergo plastic surgery Walter sustained terrible facial
injuries including the loss of upper and lower eyelids while
manning the guns aboard HMS Warspite in 1916. In 1917 he was
treated by Sir Harold Gillies - the first man to use skin grafts
from undamaged areas on the body - and know as 'the father of
plastic surgery'. Walter Yeo is thought to be the first patient to
benefit from his newly-developed technique - a form of skin
grafting called 'tubed pedical'. Walter Yeo before (left) and after

- Cosmetic surgery risks 2014 wheresjenny.com Top 5 risk of
cosmetic surgery 1) Scarring: Scarring is an issue and whilst every
effort is made to minimize them they do still occur. This is more
of a problem with ethnic minorities who, because of their darker
skins are prone to thicker, raised scars or 'keloid' scars. 2)
Infection: The risk of infection after cosmetic surgery is less
than 1% and antibiotics reduce this risk dramatically. People who
smoke, take steroids or have certain vascular conditions are at
greater risk. The longer your surgery lasts and the more blood you
lose, the more likely you are to have an infection 3) Necrosis: It
is a death of tissues due to insufficient supply of oxygen to the
operated area. The risk is very rare in normal cosmetic surgeries
but in plastic surgeries involving face lifts, breast reductions,
tummy tucks, there is a possibility of Necrosis. It increases with
sudden inflammation. Smokers are very prone to this possibility as
blood vessel constriction and relatively less oxygen supply. It is
generally treated in early stages by hyperbaric oxygen
therapy.

less severe nerve damage: In very rare, extreme cases nerve damage
can occur characterized by numbness and tingling sensation.
Generally the nerve damage can last not more than 1 year. 5) Need
for secondary surgeries/dissatisfaction with results: Not every
surgery is successful, and unlike most 'medically necessary'
surgery, the success of plastic surgery is quite subjective.
Unsatisfactory aesthetic results (including contour irregularities,
asymmetry, excessive or unfavorable scarring, etc.) can be
disheartening or even devastating for some patients. Worse yet, the
unluckiest of patients can be left with persistent pain, damage to
vital tissues, or even nerve damage/localized paralysis.
