How long can cosmetic surgery last?
Some people regard plastic surgery as magical magic and think that plastic surgery can be done once and for all. In fact, this idea is wrong. Unless you are a fairy, any plastic surgery can't last forever, and plastic surgery also has a shelf life. So how long can cosmetic surgery last? Is plastic surgery risky? If there is a plastic surgery risk index ranking, who will be on it?

First, the shelf life of cosmetic surgery

1, hyaluronic acid

This cosmetic material is often used in injection cosmetic surgery, but it is metabolized and absorbed in the body for 6 months. After 6 months, hyaluronic acid needs to be injected repeatedly to extend the shelf life of injection cosmetic surgery.

Step 2 lift your eyes

Due to the gravity of the earth, the corners of the eyes may droop after a few years of bad living habits, which is also the shelf life of eyebrow cutting.

Step 3: Breast augmentation

Like prosthetic rhinoplasty, the shelf life of breast augmentation surgery is related to the prosthetic materials selected for breast augmentation surgery. The shelf life of breast augmentation surgery is closely related to the life of breast augmentation materials.

Step 4 cut double eyelids

Whether embedding thread to make double eyelids or incision to make double eyelid surgery, double eyelids will become smaller or even shallower after a long time. The shelf life of double eyelids ranges from 1 month to 10 year, so double eyelids will not be omnipotent after they are finished. Moreover, with the increase of age, the skin and muscles of the eyes will relax, and the shape of the double eyelids will definitely change.

5. Face-lifting needle

Due to pharmacological effects, the duration of botulinum toxin is 6 to 8 months under normal living conditions! If you want to prolong the face-lifting effect, you need to repeat the injection.

6. rhinoplasty

Because the surgical materials are better now than in the past, the shelf life of this rhinoplasty operation will be longer. Under normal circumstances, the nasal prosthesis used for rhinoplasty can remain in the body for about 20 years.

7, to pouch surgery

There are two kinds of eye bags removal surgery: internal liposuction and external incision. The shelf life of internal liposuction and pouch removal is between 6 months and 24 months. The extracted fat will grow slowly over time, and the skin under the eyes will sag with the gravity of the earth.

8, facial lifting surgery

Usually the shelf life of cosmetic surgery is 2 to 5 years. However, a recent study in Britain found that more than 3/4 patients' facial lift lasted for more than 5.5 years, and it was mainly concentrated in mandibular and puppet lines.

Second, plastic surgery risk ranking

1, eye plastic surgery

Danger index: ★★★★★★★

The price of pain: double eyelid surgery is prone to poor appearance and unnatural; Removing bags under eyes can easily lead to lower eyelid ectropion, lower eyelid retraction and incomplete eye closure; Opening the corner of the eye is easy to cause obvious scars.

Expert analysis: double eyelid surgery is an entry-level operation for plastic surgeons, but it is also the most prone to problems and the most difficult to repair when problems occur. Because the eyes of beauty seekers vary widely, not all eyes with double eyelids must look good naturally, and each customer's aesthetic requirements are different, so it is easy to produce different "dissatisfaction".

2, nose plastic surgery

Danger index: ★★★★★☆.

The price of pain: rhinoplasty is easy to cause ugly nose and tip, crooked nose and so on. Some people repair it repeatedly, and each repair will bring greater difficulty to the next repair, even irreversible sequelae. Mike Jackson's nose is a typical example of excessive surgery.

Expert analysis: the internal structure of the nose is exquisite, and the shape of each person's nose is very different. Therefore, only by choosing the most suitable surgical method and adopting the method with minimal trauma can we achieve reasonable results.

Step 3 liposuction and body shaping

Risk index: ★★★★

Pain cost: liposuction is a safe and effective operation, but there are still some complications: postoperative ecchymosis, paralysis and abnormal sensation in the operation area, asymmetry of liposuction site, and "washboard" shape of excessive liposuction. However, the incidence of accidental organ injury during operation is low, and postoperative fat embolism is a serious complication, which can be life-threatening.

Expert analysis: Some of these situations are due to doctors' inexperience and poor operation skills, and some are due to improper postoperative care of beauty seekers. If the liposuction is asymmetrical and uneven, liposuction needs to be done again after half a year.

4. Breast plastic surgery

Danger index: ★★★★★

Pain cost: common complications of breast plastic surgery include: asymmetry of both sides of the breast; Prosthesis capsule contracture leads to breast stiffness and deformation; Because of nerve injury, the nipple lost the function of feeling and erection.

Expert analysis: The risk of breast surgery, whether breast augmentation with prosthesis or breast ptosis reduction, will be closely related to the choice of plastic surgery hospital, the experience of doctors, the patient's own conditions and the nursing after recovery. Take breast augmentation surgery for small breasts as an example. After the plastic surgeon puts the silicone prosthesis into the breast tissue or under the pectoralis major, once the implant prosthesis appears capsule contracture, the breast will become hard and even painful.

A slight mistake in every step of breast augmentation may lead to plastic failure. Only by strictly controlling the quality of operation can the complications be minimized.

5. Injection plastic surgery

Risk index: ★★★★☆.

The price of pain: filler injection (such as hyaluronic acid) is the upsurge of micro-plastic surgery in recent five years. Micro-plastic surgery was once considered as the safest plastic surgery, but in fact, injection of hyaluronic acid will cause complications, such as pain, swelling, erythema, ecchymosis, lumps, nodules, infection, allergic reactions and so on.

Expert analysis: the occurrence of complications is related to the material itself, the patient's physique and the experience and technology of the injector. Most complications are temporary, and some serious complications need to be treated in time. If the local redness and bruises can be cold-compressed within 24 hours and hot-compressed after 48 hours, the congestion will dissipate; If the injection is excessive, it can be extracted or dissolved by hyaluronidase; Conservative treatment or surgical drainage of redness and swelling infection.

There is also a complication, that is, illegal injection of irregular hyaluronic acid, or technical problems of injection personnel, which will lead to many adverse consequences beyond the scope of normal complications and affect the patient's life.
