In the Daily Mail there is a news that will cause discussion: two thirds of the British who have resorted to cosmetic surgery of the face and breast regretted having chosen the scalpel. And they would like to go back to how they were before. It seems absurd, but in an age in which plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine are so widespread that it now seems almost impossible to find who, between scalpels and retouching, has never done something, there are also a large part of people who are disappointed or disillusioned. especially from surgery. In Great Britain, two thirds of people who have resorted to cosmetic face or breast surgery are repentant , they wish they had never done it.
Of these, it is estimated that 31 percent have resorted to breast surgery (usually additive mammoplasty), 27 percent to rhinoplasty, 24 to liposuction. The reasons for repentance?

Some said they weren’t satisfied with the end result; others, to have been however disappointed by the experience of plastic surgery (problems with the doctor, problems during the surgery, poor communication, complicated post-surgery), and finally a good part reveals that for having undergone cosmetic surgery they have made debts or it has run out of business financially.

Often because the costs were higher than expected: the costs of a primary surgery (that is, the first intervention in that area) often add the costs of retouching or secondary operations, costs of drugs, bandages or other material for the post -operative, travel costs. Finally, one thing that the surgeon is criticized for is not being objective towards the patient’s aesthetics: the patient may turn to for a cosmetic defect, but if he has unclear ideas, there may also be other unsolicited additions. Furthermore, the patient’s idea of ​​beauty may not align with that of the doctor: if there are famous people with padded lips, or cheekbones that look like knobs, after spending a lot of money, there must be a reason.The lack of regulation in plastic surgery  is thus the icing on the cake: disfigured faces, allergies to fillers and other traumas can make life truly monstrous.
