Plastic Surgery Is Real Surgery

Plastic surgery is so common now that everyone always thinks of it as something you can do on a lark and pay some bucks and you come out looking like a brand new you or bigger you or younger version of you and their is no downside except for the lighter wallet and the soreness.

But, the thing is plastic surgery is real surgery and I think many people don't realize how serious it is. In Tameka Foster's case it appears that the surgery she was in Brazil for was lipo suction and while she was being put under she had cardiac and respiratory arrest which I think is the fancy word for a heart attack. Apparently it was so serious that she was put into a medically induced coma which is why Usher brought with him a neuro-surgeon from Cedars here in LA. Apparently that doctor is Gabriel Hunt. Reporters spotted him leaving the hospital in Sao Paulo but he didn't say anything to them.

Although it is very rare, Tameka Foster makes the 2nd person after Kanye West's mother last year to have plastic surgery go very wrong. Those are just the celebrity ones. How many people in the world die on the operating table just because they want larger breasts? Is it worth it? Are you willing to risk death, no matter how small the chance just to get your breasts enlarged? If you are an adult you can make that decision and weigh the risks and rewards yourself. But, what if you are 18 or 19? Sure you are an adult, but maybe for the past 10 years of your life you have been bombarded with ways you should change this or change that to look like someone. Are you really going to even listen to the doctor when they say you might die on the table? Nope. They are just going to do it.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I wonder how many people die each year while undergoing routine plastic surgery. Obviously it isn't always that routine.
