cosmetic surgery of any kind?

What is cosmetic surgery?• Corrective, restoration, enhancement• Cosmetic surgery vs. Reconstructive surgery• Aesthetic gain vs. functional ability• “surgery” can include lasers and veneers, not
necessarily surgical procedures

Ethical guidelines for a surgeon
• Academic qualifications• Training and experience• Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons• Patient consent versus ethical responsibility• “”do no harm” vs patient request
- number of surgeries- age of patient- risk factors- mental and emotional state of patient
• Full disclosure of procedure information
Ethical considerations as a patient• Recovery time• Financial burdens• Immediate health risks – infection
- nerve damage - bleeding, bruising
• Long term health implications• Botched surgery/disfiguration – reconstructive surgery• Unrealistic expectations – depression
- addiction -psychological trauma
• When to STOP
Implant deformity
How young is too young?
• Elective surgery• No age limitations• Parental agreement/consent• Limited ability to evaluate risks• Further physical and emotional
growth and development• Inability to make mature,
informed decision
Motivations behind surgery• Social and media pressures – idealisation
- commercial consumerism - conformity - peer pressure - racial differences
• Self esteem and self image• Consumer demands/consumer driven• Affordability • Medical reasons – accident
- injury• Work/ career opportunities
Easy access = trivial decision• Online purchasing – Do it yourself• ‘Botox’ parties• Financing availability• ‘back alley’ surgery – unqualified
- any medical degree• Overseas surgery – cheaper
- recovery time
Is anyone still considering getting cosmetic surgery
of any kind done?
