III. Plastic surgery is bad because it is addictive

Plastic surgery is not addictive just like something that makes you feel good is not addictive. Going out with friends to eat is not addictive, enjoying family time is not addictive, reading a good book is not addictive. The human being looks for pleasure and refuses pain. Nothing new under the sun. Plastic surgery is another expression of science in the development of man to help him see himself better and feel better. All for good health in the end. It is healthy to chat with a good friend. It is healthy to have a glass of good wine with an interesting conversation. Man looks for good above bad and looks to feel good above feeling bad. Plastic surgery helps people to feel good. Not only feel good but also see themselves better. Many times what we do when operating on a chest is not something pretty, we do it so that the patient feels pretty, feels beautiful, even though no one sees the chest, the shape or anything else, she knows it’s nice. And this means a lot.

IV. The best time to have an operation is in the winter

Or in the summer, or the autumn or the spring. Absolutely nothing changes. It is true that if you wear a black compression corset in the summer in Seville when it’s 45 degrees, it’s an exercise of heroism more than anything else. The reason for this, from what I have been able to prove after speaking to hundreds of patients, is that a belief exists that wounds are less likely to get infected if it’s cold, and when you sweat more they are more likely to get infected. The truth is there are no more infections in Stockholm than in Cadiz, and there are no more surgical complications in Rio de Janeiro than in London. Each person should be operated on when the time is best for them. When work, family, health and money allow them to. Be it Christmas, autumn or the holidays of the Immaculate Conception.
