Blog Readers!!! here are some cases i found over the internet, all sound sad, but its the truth, there ARE risks involved in cosmetic surgeries.... I got my Nose operated, not just because esthetical reasons, but also because of my sinuses and ease nose Breathing. But something went wrong- I can feel it while I am breathing through nose. What should I do? Should I demand reparation of nose? A woman had breast-reduction operation. After the procedure she was in constant pain due to a gaping hole inside her left breast. She suffered from what is called "wound breakdown". She has managed to recover after five months, but is physically and emotionally scarred by the experience. One other Plastic surgeon said that he spends nearly 60% of his time operating on patients who are dissatisfied with previous cosmetic surgery. I am not sure who to blame, unskilled surgeons? Promises like "lunchtime lift", "no bruising" and "no swelling" are unreal; these operations are in fact exceptionally complicated. Ive heard for another case that went wrong where the woman ended up with serious burns after a laser resurfacing procedure. I personally think that it is the doctor's duty to ensure the patient … Continue reading →

It doesnt happen often, but a new study shows that when patients find themselves awake during surgery, pain is not the worst part: Pain was something they understood, but very few of us have experienced what its like to be paralyzed, lead author Jaideep Pandit of Oxford University Hospitals told New Scientist. They thought they had been buried alive. Awareness After Death? Study Hints It Exists Drugs given to relax muscles account for the feeling of paralysis. I thought I was about to die, said a patient who woke up during a dental operation when she was 12 years old, according to New Scientist. It felt as though nothing would ever work again as though the anesthetist had removed everything apart from my soul. Video: Simulating the Human Brain The good news is that the new research shows the phenomenon is lower than previous studies indicated: about 1 in 19,000 patients who get general anesthesia report waking up, usually before or after the actual surgery. The new study analyzed 300 cases in 2012 in the UK and Ireland by asking an anesthetist at every hospital to record every incident in which a patient told someone they had been awake during … Continue reading →
