Pros and Cons of Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery can boost self-esteem and improve relationships by enhancing one's appearance. However, it also carries medical risks such as infection, complications during surgery, and long recovery times. While plastic surgery may correct some health issues like sinus infections or reduce cancer risks, it is also very expensive and not typically covered by insurance. Patients should manage their expectations and consult doctors to understand realistic outcomes of any plastic surgery procedure.
