Common Myths About Plastic Surgery — Debunked
The four myths that come up most often at consultation, and the honest answers.
Myth one: 'You can look like this photo.' Anatomy does not transfer between people. A photograph is a useful reference for a conversation, not a target.
Myth two: 'Scars will be invisible.' Every incision leaves a scar. Good surgical planning hides it in a natural crease, along a hair-bearing edge, or in a discreet position. It fades but does not vanish.
Myth three: 'The result is permanent.' Implants, tissues and skin all continue to age with you. Most operations give a long, stable improvement but not a frozen state.
Myth four: 'Bigger is better value.' The most common reason for a second operation in this practice is over-correction at the first — a larger implant, a smaller nose, a tighter face than the anatomy could carry. Restraint costs less in the long run.
