In this article we will talk about what side effects of plastic surgery exist, when they occur and how to avoid them.
People in general have a fear of surgery. Of course, if the operation is performed for medical reasons, fears are explained by concern for one’s health and hope for its improvement. When performing plastic corrections, many people are afraid of an unsatisfactory result, they are afraid that the intervention will lead to a deterioration in appearance.
In this article we will talk about what side effects of plastic surgery exist, when they occur and how to avoid them.
Groups of patients at increased risk of complications
Any operation, including plastic surgery, is stressful for the body. This means that a person will need certain resources in order to cope with this stress and recover. They depend, first of all, on the health status of the patient himself. In some situations, plastic surgeons will simply refuse to perform surgery - for example, in the case of cancer or pregnancy.
There are a number of factors that are not directly contraindications, but increase the risk of negative consequences of plastic surgery. Among them:
- Long history of smoking.
Nicotine impairs blood supply to tissues, which means they will take longer to heal. - Allergies.
Of course, the surgeon will first question you about their presence, however, the sudden appearance of an unexpected allergic reaction cannot be ruled out. - Concomitant chronic pathologies.
Any operation, not just plastic surgery, can become an impetus for their aggravation. - Excess body weight.
This increases the likelihood of cardiovascular problems, especially with major corrections such as breast surgery.
Jacqueline Stallone
Jacqueline Stallone (98), mother of the famous actor Sylvester Stallone (73), admits that she has more than once regretted the decision to go to the surgeon. She has performed rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, chemical peels and anti-aging facial contouring. Many people compare Jacqueline to a chipmunk with nuts stuffed into her cheeks. It's cruel! But what else can I say - plastic surgery only harmed her!
Types of undesirable consequences
- Damage to nerve endings and decreased sensitivity.
Quite often, in the area where plastic correction was made, the skin loses sensitivity. However, this is a normal reaction to surgery. Microscopic nerve endings penetrate our tissues so tightly that it is simply impossible to make a surgical incision without cutting them. But the body also has a reserve resource: damaged nerve fibers can regenerate. And in the vast majority of cases, approximately six months after plastic surgery of the face or other parts of the body, sensitivity should be completely restored. - Scarring.
An operation always involves penetration into the internal environment of the body. But it will not be possible to do this without damaging its outer shells. SM-Plastic specialists understand perfectly well that such marks on the skin are also undesirable. Therefore, they try to carry out all interventions so that the incisions are located either in areas closed from prying eyes (for example, when lifting the eyelids through the conjunctiva), or in natural folds (under the breasts, behind the ears, and so on). - Hematomas and swelling.
This is another type of natural soft tissue response to injury. Hematoma is subcutaneous hemorrhage from a damaged blood vessel, and edema is the accumulation of fluid in the intercellular space when its outflow is disrupted. Such areas do not look very attractive, but they disappear without a trace and on their own, the very first of all the consequences of the operation. Usually hematomas resolve, and swelling subsides within the first 2 weeks after the intervention.
What kind of plastic surgery have the stars undergone?
58-year-old Demi Moore became a victim of plastic surgery! What happened to the Hollywood actress's face? How did Renee Zellweger disfigure herself? Why did Donatella Versace regret her surgeries? Is it true that Diva got an infection? And why did Shnura have to go under the knife more than once? About everything - in the Channel Five program “Gossip Chronicle”.
Demi Moore recently appeared on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week. The star shocked the audience with a new face. Social media users were horrified by the actress’s new appearance. People demanded that the plastic surgeon who disfigured Moore be fired. However, domestic stars sided with their colleagues.
“She still makes money with her face. Nobody wants to grow old: neither women nor men,” says singer Prokhor Chaliapin.
Demi is a well-known fan of plastic surgery. The star first went under the knife in her youth to correct the shape of her nose. Before the film "Striptease" she had her breasts enlarged and implants inserted into her buttocks. With age, Moore underwent blepharoplasty, lifting her eyelids and removing bags under her eyes, liposuction of her knees, and a circular facelift. Perhaps this time the actress decided to get rid of age-related changes, but something went wrong.
“There is a certain volume deficit here. It can be assumed that she removed bisha lumps, and did it unsuccessfully,” plastic surgeon Danila Lupin commented on Demi Moore’s new face.
Experts say that in the pursuit of beauty, the main thing is to stop in time, otherwise there is a risk of being transformed beyond recognition! This is exactly what happened to Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger. The fans didn't recognize the film star! A puffy face, unnaturally large eyes, a perfectly smooth forehead and an emaciated body. Fans criticized the star, saying she had lost her edge.
“As soon as you do something to your nose, that’s it, and you’re an unrecognizable person. Eyes - it’s the same with the eyes, it seems to you that you have something hanging here, something is sagging here, but as soon as you remove it all, the same thing happens,” says actress Natalya Bochkareva.
“A person who psychologically does not love himself, does not like his appearance - this is even defined as a disease. And then he begins to manically perform operations,” says trainer Askold Zapashny.
Another victim of plastic surgery is 65-year-old Donatella Versace. Just look at the photo of the star before and after operations. The fashion designer never considered herself a standard beauty. In addition, she used illegal substances, which negatively affected her appearance. In 2002, the designer decided for the first time to undergo a transformation and, probably, in the pursuit of youth, she could not stop.
“I always liked to provoke, it comes naturally to me, like breathing. You could say this is my talent. I was discussed, judged and criticized. But at least I found the courage to be myself,” explained Donatella Versace.
Every year, Donatella abused Botox, fillers, facelifts and tanning more and more. The designer also periodically enlarged her lips and had rhinoplasty several times. After almost 20 years of experimenting with her face and body, the famous Italian admitted that she regrets the hours spent on the surgical table.
“It took me too long to realize: real beauty is not outside, but inside,” the fashion designer admitted many years later.
However, there are many domestic stars who have dared to make serious changes with the help of plastic surgery. For example, Alla Pugacheva turned to Swiss surgeons for the sake of her young boyfriend Sergei Chelobanov. However, the breast correction surgery was unsuccessful.
The prima donna suffered an infection, her temperature constantly rose, and she lost a lot of weight. The artist was saved by doctors from a Moscow clinic when the situation became critical.
“Unfortunately, I was deprived of my beauty. They removed the tumor on the chest, but this is all already known,” the artist admitted.
In pursuit of beauty, singer Shura went under the knife more than once. The artist has undergone liposuction several times, but not always successfully. Therefore, the singer again and again had to turn to specialists for help.
“It all started with the fact that I had unsuccessful plastic surgery! They only cut off the lower abdomen, but everything on top remained!” admitted Shura.
Maria Malinovskaya does not hide the fact that she has repeatedly turned to specialists for help.
“Well, I think the whole country knows how I struggled with complexes. Well, in this sense, I am not much different from other notorious not only women, but also men. I did a n-number of operations, some kind of beauty transformations,” the TV personality admitted.
The TV presenter had rhinoplasty and a facelift, enlarged her breasts, and changed the shape of her cheeks. Malinovskaya says that for a long time she considered herself not beautiful and wanted to get rid of her complexes with the help of operations.
“If a person understands that he cannot live without some kind of plastic surgery. Well, if he feels like an unhappy person, then, of course, let him do it,” blogger Liliya Abramova is sure.
“Yes, I considered myself very ugly. Now, looking at photographs of my youth, I find myself a very beautiful girl,” said Masha Malinovskaya.
Malinovskaya said that she had to remove fillers from her lips three times to get the desired result. The TV presenter admits that she regrets the operations and injections done in her youth. Now the star is cautious about plastic surgery and prefers cosmetic procedures.
Operation 2 in 1. Adding volume to the cheekbones and reducing the nose
When a woman thinks up problems and believes that her nose is too long and her cheekbones are too small and tries to reduce her nose by making it upturned, plus increase her cheekbones, thus erasing the corners and making her face blurry and round. In such cases, before undertaking such operations, you need to consult a doctor and follow his recommendations, and not pass off apparent problems as real and insist on your own.
Almost on the verge, but in this case, in our opinion, it turned out beautifully. Pick-up artist Daria German, photo from an open source. There are contraindications, specialist consultation is required.
Uma Thurman - 6 surgeries
The actress recently turned 49 years old
The actress turned to specialists for easy correction of age-related changes. The work of plastic surgeons turned out to be so successful that fans are still arguing whether surgical intervention actually took place? Experts believe that correction of the cheekbones, contouring using fillers, a neck and chest lift, and double blepharoplasty were performed. The star extended all procedures over 20 years. In addition, the actress visits a cosmetologist, monitors her nutrition and water balance, and takes biorevitalization courses, so she looks young and fresh for her age.
Expert tip: It’s clear that a lot of time has passed since the eyelid correction. During this time, many wrinkles appeared around the eyes and the corners drooped a little. Time to visit a specialist.
Amanda Lepore
Amanda Lepore (52) spent thousands of dollars on plastic surgery, which she began “practicing” at the age of 15. Then Amanda was... a guy and had her first rhinoplasty. From the age of 17, Lepore actively began to transform into a woman. Every year she changed something about herself - she enlarged her lips, buttocks, breasts and hips, corrected the shape of her forehead and cheeks. Now Amanda is a successful model and singer. But still, her appearance leaves much to be desired!
Michael Jackson, modern Frankenstein
The undisputed leader among celebrities who have been under the knife of a cosmetic surgeon is Michael Jackson. It is difficult to blame doctors for his failures: the number of operations that the once popular singer underwent is simply unthinkable. Jackson began experimenting with his appearance at the age of 26. The first rhinoplasty allowed him to reduce the width of his nose by almost half, which only added to the charm of the handsome African-American guy. Then Jackson was overcome by a strange whim - a change in skin color. Fans watched in horror the singer’s metamorphoses: after each operation, the nose became thinner, the oval of the face changed beyond recognition due to an implant in the chin and correction of the cheekbones... As a result - almost complete atrophy of the nasal cartilage, a pale lifeless mask under the wig, indistinct artificial hair - and the proud title of “Frankenstein of modern times.”
Dennis Avner
One can definitely say about Dennis Avner - he’s not like everyone else! This is what the man wanted when he decided to paint his body brindle. Further - more, to completely resemble a predatory cat, he had rhinoplasty - surgeons completely changed the tip of his nose and widened the back of it, and artificially narrowed his eyes. In addition, Dennis sharpened his ears, made a correction to his forehead and plastic cheekbones, changed his chin, ground down his teeth (after all, a real tiger should have fangs!) and even split his lips. The radical transformation led to complete loneliness, and in 2012 Dennis decided to die.

Jocelyn Wildenstein
Jocelyn Wildenstein (79) is known by many as Catwoman. In her youth, Jocelyn wanted to keep her billionaire husband by any means possible. But many anti-aging procedures and hours spent in beauty salons did not give the desired result. Then she decided to turn to surgeons. Jocelyn performed a brow lift, blepharoplasty, canthopexy, inserted implants into different parts of the face, administered several dozen injections with Botox, hyaluronic acid and collagen, tightened the middle part of the face... it’s too much to list. Alas, she got the opposite effect - her husband got scared and filed for divorce.
Women's history of Oksana Pushkina
Oksana Pushkina is a victim not so much of plastic surgery as of her own indiscretion. Deciding that it was time to “stop the moment,” the popular TV presenter decided to get beauty injections that preserve youthful skin, but for some reason not in a clinic, as is always recommended, but at home. After injection of a substance that later turned out to be something like plastic, seals appeared in the area of the nasolabial folds, the skin above which was covered with blue-black spots... Due to problems with her appearance, Pushkina was forced to leave television. The legal proceedings lasted for more than one year, but beauty could not be returned...

Donatella Versace
Donatella Versace (65) is the case when after one successful plastic surgery you can no longer stop.

Donatella before and after are completely different people!
Anna Sedokova - 7 operations
Anna's age is 36 years old
At the age of 19, the girl joined the star cast of the ViaGra group, and from then on her thorny path with plastic surgeons began. The first operation was breast augmentation. After leaving the group, Anna decided to undergo rhinoplasty, face and neck lift, lip augmentation, correction of cheekbones and facial contours in the hope of new projects. Her changes look dignified and not vulgar: Sedokova did not get carried away and was able to maintain her individuality.
Expert tip: Anna looks younger than her age. To maintain the effect, it is better to undergo a course of anti-aging procedures from a cosmetologist; you can hold off on plastic surgery for now.
Melanie Griffith: “Antonio, at least one brace!”
Melanie Griffith, who once shone on Hollywood film sets, was one of the first at the “dream factory” to try Botox injections on herself. In recent years, the aging actress's visits to plastic surgery clinics have become alarmingly regular. First Botox, then eyelid surgery, lip correction - again and again... Griffith motivates his passion for plastic surgery with the desire to hide the age difference with his husband Antonio Banderas. But the results speak for themselves: a swollen face and a grimace instead of a smile visually add 5-8 extra years to the sufferer. The actress’s intentions to have another plastic surgery is the main topic of quarrels in the star family.
