Many People Have Misconceptions About Plastic Surgery.

In facial treatments, misconceptions often shape our beliefs. To counter this erroneous plastic surgery fiction, Samil Yazgan MD tells the 10 well-known mistakes.

“When discussing changes in the facial area, most people tend to be more cautious and anxious about the process.

Many erroneous articles and news, especially on Instagram and Google, cause confusion and erroneous information. Now I would like to list you 10 known misconceptions:

Plastic Surgery is Only For Celebrities

Wrong! Currently, almost everyone from housewives to business people wants to look good, wants to stop time and gets help from plastic surgery.

Because it's a human desire, and being confident about how you look greatly affects many aspects of life.

They report that 88% of patients have realistic expectations when choosing to have plastic surgery.

These same patients report feeling less anxious in stressful situations and have an overall higher sense of self-confidence.

Only Rich People Can Afford Facial Plastic Surgery

Certainly, aesthetic procedures can be expensive, requiring careful budget planning. However, with advancing technology, procedures are becoming more minimally invasive and cost-effective.

Results Last a Lifetime

There are many different types of facial plastic surgery. For this reason, how long the results will last depends on both the procedure and the patient.

"After facelift surgery, as time passes, the skin may gradually loosen and sag again. People generally assume a facelift's effects last approximately 10 years.

The only exception to the rule that nothing lasts forever is rhinoplasty. While the features of your face change, the general shape of your nose will remain the same throughout your life.

On the contrary, non-surgical treatments require regular repetition to uphold their effects because of their notably shorter lifespan.

For Seniors Only

Of course no. Many types of facial aesthetics have nothing to do with aging. Performing acne scar treatment, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, and hair transplantation is feasible at a young age.

The Healing Process is Long and Painful

Recovery includes some discomfort, but it's usually less than anticipated, and the healing process is similar.

You Will Notice The Scar

All surgeries, "In face lifts, scarring, including in the facial area, may occur, but as plastic surgeons, we possess the expertise to conceal these scars along the natural contours of the skin, ensuring they are inconspicuous.

During a face lift procedure, we carefully place the incision along the hairline and around the ears. If our patients diligently follow post-operative instructions, the resulting scar will gradually fade, become less noticeable, and importantly, won't cause discomfort."

Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery are The Same Thing

Cosmetic surgeons and plastic surgeons should not be confused or referred to interchangeably.

While plastic and reconstructive surgeons make repairs, aesthetic surgeons make an attempt with an artistic point of view.

In our country, we graduate with the diploma of aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgeon, this is changing in foreign countries.

Botox is Botox, All Injectables are The Same

Actually BOTOX® is a brand. Although other injectable fillers yield similar outcomes, diverse companies manufacture them.

Plastic Surgery is Dangerous

Any surgery always has some risk. To reduce your risks, you should choose a plastic surgeon with expertise in the procedure you are interested in.

Cosmetic Surgery is For Women Only

Wrong! Between 1997 and 2020, there was a 300% increase in male aesthetic procedures."

"In the realm of facial treatments, numerous misconceptions often influence our understanding of plastic surgery. To dispel these misconceptions, here are ten well-known mistakes associated with cosmetic procedures and skin treatments.

1. Excess Skin and Sagging Skin: Many believe that cosmetic procedures can eliminate excess skin entirely. However, procedures like a mini facelift or neck lift can address sagging skin to an extent, but complete elimination is unrealistic.

2. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Expecting a complete eradication of fine lines and wrinkles is another misconception. While treatments can reduce their appearance, complete removal is improbable.

3. Tightening the Skin: Although procedures aim to tighten the skin, over-tightening can result in complications such as swelling, bruising, or even increased risk during the recovery period.

4. Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are common after skin treatments. Expecting an immediate recovery without any signs of swelling or bruising is unrealistic.

5.  Anti aging treatments can reduce signs of aging but won't make you look drastically younger.

6. People believe neck lift procedures don't impact the area in front of the ears.

7. Assuming skin treatments or chemical peels are without risk might lead to complications skin on the face.

8. Overnight Hospital Stays: Not all procedures require staying overnight in a hospital. Many are outpatient procedures.

9. High Blood Pressure and Blood Clotting: Patients with high blood pressure or blood clotting issues may face increased risks during certain procedures. They will stay in hospital overnight.

10. Hair Loss and Facial Skin: Some treatments might inadvertently impact facial hair, leading to temporary or permanent hair loss on the face.

Understanding these misconceptions can help in setting realistic expectations and mitigating the risks and complications associated with facial treatments and plastic surgery."
