Facial plastic surgery is a highly popular procedure. If you're dissatisfied with your facial features, plastic surgeons can help you achieve your desired results. However, there are crucial considerations you must understand before undergoing facial surgery. Below, we invite a facial plastic surgery expert to explain what you need to know about facial procedures—information that should prove helpful. Please read on carefully.>Facial rejuvenation procedures, especially more extensive surgeries, can sometimes result in nerve damage—a risk frequently reported in the media. I recall seeing a case on television involving a young, attractive woman from a province in southwest China. After undergoing a facial rejuvenation surgery, nerve damage left her with facial asymmetry, causing her mouth and eyes to droop. She could only open her mouth wide enough to fit chopsticks.
Facial reconstruction surgery may cause two types of facial paralysis:
Central facial paralysis: Upper facial muscles remain unaffected—eyelid closure, eyebrow raising, and frowning are normal. Lower facial muscles become paralyzed, resulting in a shallower nasolabial fold on the affected side, drooping of the mouth corner, and deviation toward the unaffected side when showing teeth.
The other is peripheral facial paralysis, which has two subtypes:
Subtype 1: Causes complete paralysis of all facial muscles on one side, including incomplete eyelid closure, drooping of the mouth corner,limited eyebrow elevation, shallow or absent forehead wrinkles, lower eyebrow on the affected side, widened palpebral fissure, occasional tearing, mouth corner pulling toward the unaffected side when showing teeth or smiling, oblique oval-shaped mouth, and slurred speech.
Second: Bilateral peripheral facial nerve paralysis causes a mask-like face, disappearance of both forehead wrinkles, inability to fully close both eyes, shallower nasolabial folds on both sides, inability to fully close the lips, drooling from the corners of the mouth, food retention in the cheeks during eating, and slightly slurred speech.
Filler rupture creates internal waste
All medications carry side effects. Claims by manufacturers or cosmetic clinics that their fillers have no side effects are impossible. Surgery is similarly invasive and carries inherent risks.
Some risks are predictable, others unpredictable. Cosmetic procedures involve incisions and the insertion of foreign materials into the body.These substances are foreign to the body. Forcibly inserting them into flesh disrupts nature and the body's inherent equilibrium, making it an operation demanding extreme precision.
Many current cosmetic filling procedures—whether for the face, nose, breasts, or height augmentation—claim absolute safety. However, if results prove unsatisfactory and removal is needed, recovery becomes far more challenging than the initial insertion.Some fillers rupture for various reasons, causing significant adverse effects. Complications from Improper Liposuction Human height and body types naturally vary, yet liposuction emerged promising "overnight weight loss for the overweight." This procedure uses various liposuction machines or technologies to directly extract excess fat from the body.
Today, numerous liposuction methods exist, with suction-assisted techniques being mainstream. Liposuction machines evolve rapidly—from Italy's external ultrasound devices to America's third- and fourth-generation ultrasonic machines. All primarily rely on negative pressure to extract fat.
Yet every liposuction method carries risks, the most significant being fat embolism, which can prove life-threatening in severe cases.The procedure also requires extensive anesthetic injections. While the surface incisions are small, internal damage can be significant. Individuals with hypertension or diabetes face substantial risks during these surgeries. Additionally, some patients experience rapid fat rebound post-liposuction.
Psychological Trauma Should Not Be Overlooked
The growing popularity of cosmetic surgery stems from societal demand and psychological needs.
However, public understanding of cosmetic procedures has become overly simplified:
It's seen as merely cutting into the skin—adding fillers for fullness or removing tissue for slimming, then stitching it back up. This simplistic view leads to irreparable psychological damage when facial transformation procedures fail. For instance, some patients, fearing family opposition and gossip from friends, repeatedly demand removal of nasal implants shortly after surgery because their daughter cannot accept the change.Others, with no obvious facial flaws, see others undergoing cosmetic procedures and impulsively desire to "add icing to the cake." They make exaggerated alterations to their features, leading to lifelong regret and severe psychological trauma.In severe cases, this leads to extreme personality shifts, hindering academic or job applications, causing romantic setbacks, and resulting in profound depression. They become constantly anxious, feel ashamed to face others, and sink into pessimism and self-destructive behavior.
