(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) Naheed Jehangir In the past, beauty parlors were sought after for facials, makeup application, plucking, and threading, and people relied on varicreams and treatments to achieve lighter complexions. However, with the advancement of medical science, the landscape of beauty care has transformed dramatically. The conventional beauty tips have now been overshadowed by the realm of cosmetic plastic surgery.
Much like in other parts of the world, the inclination towards cosmetic surgery is on the rise in Pakistan. Unfortunately, this surge has led to instances where individuals are left with results that are contrary to their expectations. While cosmetic surgery was initially popular mainly within the realm of showbiz, it has now extended its reach to the general public, who sometimes resort to unnecessary procedures in the pursuit of enhancing their appearance.
From Hollywood to Bollywood, and even in our own Lollywood, a considerable number of stars have undergone cosmetic surgery. However, the trend has taken a new turn as it becomes increasingly common among everyday individuals seeking facial alterations. Regrettably, there are cases where the pursuit of beauty has yielded outcomes that deviate from the intended aesthetic.

Understanding Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
In the realm of cosmetic plastic surgery, Plastic Surgeon Assistant Professor Riaz Ahmad Afridi from Lady Reading Hospital sheds light on the intricacies. He clarifies that the term“plastic” is rooted in the Greek word“plastico,” signifying the act of bending, molding, or reshaping. Some individuals erroneously associate“plastic” with a material, assuming that some form of chemical plastic substance is utilized in this type of surgery. This notion, however, is incorrect.
Exploring the domain of cosmetic surgery, Riaz Ahmad elucidates that in the past, surgical interventions were predominantly sought after for reconstructing organs damaged due to accidents, such as congenital jaw or palate issues, as well as repairing burnt skin. These essential restorative surgeries continue to be performed. However, contemporary times have witnessed a shift, extending beyond showbiz personalities to encompass transsexual individuals and ordinary citizens who are increasingly opting for cosmetic surgery. Their goal is to transform their features and enhance their allure.
He expounds on the treatment modalities, distinguishing between surgical and non-surgical approaches. Surgical treatments are employed when alterations require structural changes. For instance, if the nose is misaligned, corrective surgery is conducted. Similarly, procedures like lip augmentation involve enlarging or shaping the lips. Baldness or hair thinning concerns are addressed through hair transplants. Wrinkles are treated using Botox injections. Additionally, there are comprehensive surgical procedures that culminate in a complete transformation of facial features. These interventions are meticulously tailored to match the patient's desired outcome, effectively reshaping their appearance.

Potential Drawbacks of Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Riaz Ahmed emphasizes the importance of entrusting qualified professionals with cosmetic surgical procedures. He underscores the need for comprehensive pre-surgery assessments conducted by degree-holding medical practitioners. While cosmetic surgery endeavors to enhance appearances, it's crucial to acknowledge that like any surgical procedure, it carries inherent disadvantages.
Dr. Riaz Ahmed warns against the pursuit of cosmetic surgery solely for aesthetic purposes, particularly when individuals seek alteration rather than addressing an accidental or congenital concern. Such endeavors can lead to unintended facial disfigurement if not approached with caution.
In today's landscape, the popularity of cosmetic surgery has inadvertently fostered the emergence of uncertified practitioners preying on unsuspecting individuals. Dr. Ahmed points out that people sometimes hastily opt for surgeries without assessing the competence or potential hazards associated with the procedure. Those with underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, or a smoking habit, face heightened surgical risks and possible complications. The importance of proper anesthesia administration cannot be overstated, as negligence in this realm can result in complications.
Dr. Ahmed further elucidates that when it comes to altering facial features, the transformation must align with the surgeon's expertise and the patient's preferences. Adjusting to the new appearance is a process that demands time and patience. Equally important is the caution against pursuing unnecessary and repetitive surgeries, as these can amplify the risk of complications. In essence, informed decision-making, thorough medical evaluation, and collaboration with certified professionals are pivotal in navigating the world of cosmetic surgery.
