There a few risks from any type of surgery. Plastic surgery is not exempt from these risks. There is always a risk that the surgeon could hit a major vein or that the anesthetic could cause death.

What are the main risks of plastic surgery?

Eyelift surgery is a relatively uncomplicated one and has a low risk of side effects. That being said, no surgery is perfect and there is always a small chance that something may go wrong, including infection and reactions to the anesthesia. Though minor complications are more common, there still exists the possibility of major complications. The most common side effects of blepharoplasty are double or blurred vision for a few days after surgery, bruising and swelling. Double or blurred vision that lasts for more than three or four days should be reported to your surgeon. But bruising and swelling can last up to a month after the surgery. Your eyes may be dry and itchy for the first week, and then become teary and sensitive to light for a few weeks after that. You may notice that your scars remain a pink color for several months. The scarring should lighten up and become almost invisible before long. However, some people have a genetic tendency to scar worse than others, which could contribute to more visible scarring. Your ability to heal will also have an affect on the appearance of scars. You may find tiny whiteheads along the area where your incision was made. These can be removed by your doctor using a very fine needle and should not leave any permanent marks. More severe, though much less common, side effects include difficulty closing your eyes during sleep. This is usually temporary, but in extremely rare circumstances it can be permanent. Further surgery may be needed if you begin to notice the lower lids pulling down. Sometimes this will remedy itself, however. Hematomas can occur as a result of blood pooling around the eye. This may resolve itself, but if it does not, or if it is unusually large, it will need to be drained. If too much fatty tissue is removed from the eye area, the result may be a sunken appearance. There is also the possibility that the eyes may no longer look identical if the surgery is not performed exactly the same on each eye. The most severe complications are very rare. These include damage to the surface of the eye or the tissue surrounding the eye, acute glaucoma, and partial or complete blindness. Though, again, most of these side effects are very isolated, you should take everything into consideration when thinking about cosmetic surgery.


Is plastic an acid?

No, most plastics are quite inert. Remember that 'plastic' is a type of substance, not an individual compound. Polythene, for instance, has very few reactions, which is why we make chemical storage bottles out of it, for instance for strong acids and alkalis. PTFE is less inert, but still not acidic.

Neck Surgery and Cancer Treatment?

Neck surgery is very intrusive and serious type of operation. Neck surgery is typically used to remove tumors associated with various forms of cancer, especially throat and neck cancers. Neck surgery can take up to 20 hours and can have a team of doctors rotating in and out of the operating room due to the seriousness and intricacy of the surgery. The most common form of neck surgery is called the neck dissection. The neck dissection is the most serious type of neck surgery that a patient will undergo. This type of neck surgery is used almost exclusively for cancer patients. The goal of the neck surgery is to remove any cancerous tissue in the neck. Oftentimes the lymph nodes will be corrupted by cancer and need to be removed before the cancer spreads through the lymph nodes and its other parts of the body. The lymph nodes are extremely important and author will be removed during this type of surgery because of cancer gets in the lymph nodes it will travel throughout the body very quickly and kill the patient. Once the lymph nodes have been removed the survival rate of the cancer patient goes up dramatically so this type of surgery is very important to undergo during various stages of cancer treatment. Once the neck surgery is complete the patient will often times have some form of disfigurement. Unfortunately during a neck dissection parts of the neck will be removed. This means that the neck will be smaller than it was before and there will be a large scar on the patient’s neck. There are some side effects that most patients will experience after the surgery. The side effects can last for a few years or fortunately the permanent depending on how invasive and neck surgery was. A few side effects include things such as no taste, numbness in the tongue or the inability to swallow food. Most patients that undergo this type of neck surgery will experience at least one of these side effects. Numbness in the tongue and the loss of taste are the most common side effects experienced after neck surgery. Neck surgery is a serious and dangerous procedure but it has saved a lot of lives by removing cancerous tumors
