What is cosmetic surgery?

Plastic surgery is not what we understand at first: the ugly duckling becomes a white swan, the sparrow becomes a phoenix, and the ordinary appearance becomes amazing.

Plastic surgery was originally aimed at congenital malformations or acquired physical injuries caused by various accidents. For example: patients with congenital cleft lip and palate, congenital microtia, congenital six-finger deformity, systemic scar caused by burns, nasal loss caused by trauma, eye trauma, etc.

In a word, the initial purpose of plastic surgery is to make these people with abnormal appearance become normal, reduce their physical pain and resume normal social activities as soon as possible.

According to records, the earliest plastic surgery was in ancient India. Thousands of years ago, ancient Indians carried out nose reconstruction for soldiers who lost their noses, and the method used was indeed verified and feasible in later generations. The rapid development of plastic surgery benefited from the two world wars, on the one hand, because of the rapid development of western science and medicine in that era; On the other hand, those who suffered various injuries and deformities due to the war urgently needed to be repaired after the war, which promoted the development of plastic surgery.

The development of plastic surgery in China started late, and it was established after the founding of New China. Because China people are most concerned about facial deformities, and the incidence of cleft lip and palate is very high in China (about one in five or six hundred newborns), most of the earliest plastic surgeons in China are oral and maxillofacial surgeons who began to study cleft lip and palate.

After the reform and opening up in the 1980s, people began to stop worrying about survival and began to pursue beauty. However, due to the conservative concept all the year round, many beauty lovers dare not do treatment in a big way. "Because of trichiasis, double eyelids must be made" became a common excuse for beauty lovers in that era. (trichiasis means that eyelashes grow inward and touch the cornea, which will seriously affect vision)

With the development of cultural undertakings, people's requirements for appearance are getting higher and higher. They should not only change their appearance, but also stay young forever and have a star-like youthful appearance. More and more people come to the clinic for beauty treatment, and plastic surgery has gradually become the "beauty" in people's consciousness. I have to point out the influence of Korean culture on China, especially the mature operation mode of Korean plastic surgery industry, which has broken the thinking mode of many specialists. Nowadays, the plastic surgery and beauty industry in China is trying to connect with the world, and there are more and more academic exchanges. At the annual global professional conference, experts from China are gradually seen.

Beauty salons and beauty hospitals are thousands of miles apart.

When it comes to beauty, many people think of beauty salons, but what beauty salons can do is very limited. Most of the treatment must be carried out in a professional medical beauty hospital.

The key difference between beauty salons and beauty hospitals lies in the word "doctor", so we should first interpret two concepts-"beauty of life"&; "medical beauty"

Life beauty, such as facial care, massage, etc. All treatments will not damage the surface layer of the skin. Generally speaking, it will not see blood, break skin and scab.

Medical beauty, the treatment of blood, broken skin and scab all belong to medical beauty. The following are common categories:

1. Various operations: double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, liposuction, bone cutting, etc.

2, all kinds of micro-shaping: wrinkle removal needle, face-lifting needle, hyaluronic acid, now popular catgut embedding, water-light needle and so on.

3, various skin treatments: laser treatment such as freckle and birthmark, fruit acid skin replacement, micro-needle treatment, etc.

Beauty salons are places for life beauty, and the requirements are not so high, similar to the level of skin care at home, and medical beauty must go to beauty hospitals and professional departments.

Are you shocked to see these classifications? Have you seen many items in advertisements of many beauty salons? Why do I emphasize the classification of beauty in life and beauty in medicine?

Skin is a natural protective barrier for human beings. Once damaged, it will be attacked by external bacteria and viruses. Many infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B, syphilis and AIDS, are spread through blood. Therefore, small needle eyes may be infected with these diseases. Therefore, as long as there is the possibility of broken skin bleeding, it must be treated in a hospital-level environment. On the one hand, the environment requires high sterility, which reduces the possibility of infection. On the other hand, the drugs, instruments and instruments used are all approved by the state, which reduces all kinds of adverse reactions and accidents.

Just as ancient kings tried to live forever and seek medical advice, now many people, especially rich women, are willing to pay for it. Many people see "business opportunities" from it, and all kinds of illegal channels far exceed our imagination. There will be a big BUG here. The approval and supervision of beauty salons belong to the market, not to the health supervision institutions. However, there will always be some vague boundaries between medical beauty and life beauty, and there is still no conclusion, so there will be many chaos and regulatory loopholes. CCTV's "Focus Interview" has mentioned relevant content many times, so you can search for it yourself.

In our daily work, we often meet some patients. In beauty salons, even residential quarters and hotels, we have received some Korean nano seamless double eyelids, sucked bags under eyes, pressed double eyelids, had injections, and so on. Only when something goes wrong will we think of the hospital. Faced with these patients, we are always angry and helpless. What happened to them? Either they underestimate the complexity of these treatments and think that beauty is easy, or they overestimate the "professionals" in beauty salons.

It is exaggerated to say that plastic surgery can change life, but it is not an exaggeration to call it an act of going against the sky. People's face is determined by genes and time environment. To change their appearance and resist aging, we are all struggling with genes and time. What is a gene? What time is it? Do you think that a small bottle of essence can change your aging genes and make you ten years younger? If you can, it will definitely be a Nobel Prize! Therefore, the difficulty of our work can be imagined. Doctors without many years of clinical experience dare not "cheat people" easily. If the technologies advertised as "minimally invasive", "seamless", "nano" and "high-tech" are really as good as advertised, why haven't the experts in charge of the top three hospitals heard of them and learned them, but what about a so-called "expert" meeting in a beauty salon?

Having said that, I just hope you can understand when to choose a beauty salon and a hospital, and don't turn beauty into "disfigurement"!

Key points of this section:

1, plastic surgery, the original intention is to solve the problem that those physical defects "become normal". With the development of economy, people's pursuit of beauty began to focus on beauty in recent years.

2. Distinguish medical beauty &; Life is beautiful, choose the right place.

3. All cosmetic techniques are against your own genes and time, so don't underestimate the complexity of any treatment, and don't overestimate the professionalism of those non-professionals, and treat plastic surgery rationally.
