Well, It depends. If you are a freak over getting plastic surgery your skin will not look damaged but will be damaged; and your face no offence or anything but will look totally fake! Besides, I really do not get why people get plastic surgery people look beautiful one way or the other!

What are the costs and benefits of plastic surgery?

Plastic Surgery Facts What You Should Know about the Risks and
Benefits of Plastic Surgery. Topical treatments can help improve
fine wrinkles and skin texture. However, rapid and dramatic
improvements are more likely to be achieved with plastic surgery.
But don't rush to schedule your plastic surgery just yet. First,
here are some facts you should know. * Plastic surgery is
expensive. In the US, a facelift costs from $6,000 to $12,000. *
Any surgery is potentially dangerous, including plastic surgery.
Complications are rare but they do occur, ranging from scarring to
fatalities. Plastic surgery may be particularly risky if you have
certain health conditions (e.g. diabetes). * Everyone is different.
Some people do much better than others, even when treated by the
same plastic surgeon. * It may take several weeks or months before
your face fully recovers from plastic surgery. * Plastic surgery
might adversely affect the physiology of your skin and underlying
tissues, speeding up the aging process. If you decide to undergo
plastic surgery, keep in mind the following. * With plastic
surgery, more is not necessarily better. For instance, too tight or
too frequent facelifts may create a distorted, unnatural look. The
result may be worse than having no plastic surgery at all. * Find a
board certified surgeon with a vast experience in the plastic
surgery. Search thoroughly, compare different plastic surgeons,
talk to their former patients. * It is somewhat more risky to have
plastic surgery in a surgeon's office than in a hospital. If you
are having an in-office plastic surgery, make sure that the
facility is accredited by AAAASF (The American Association for
Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities). * Plastic surgery
does not slow down the aging of the skin but may actually
accelerate it. Therefore, plastic surgery is not a substitute for
skin rejuvenation measures discussed in various articles at Smart
Skin Care Site. Actually, after a plastic surgery you should be
even more diligent in preserving your skin's youth. * Before going
for plastic surgery, give a few month try to topical skin
rejuvenation treatments (see Treatments section of this site). The
results may be dramatic enough to change your mind.

Asked in Cosmetic Surgery
How is cosmetic and plastic surgery performed?

In cosmetic surgery there is no cutting of skin. A rhinoplasty
(or nose job), can be performed nasally, by inserting the tools up
your nose. Plastic surgery requires the cutting of the skin to
repair or replace what was damaged in an accident or if the child
has some kind of deformity when born. It has to do with a total
change of the body.
