Instructions

Complications

  • Step 1:
    It's possible for complications to arise during surgery, such as anesthesia being administered in the incorrect dose. Problems can come up after surgery as well, such as the surgery not healing correctly.

Asymmetry

  • Step 1:
    It's possible that the plastic surgery isn't going to turn out correctly. What you went in to fix can require more surgeries if it came out crooked or misshapen.

Regret

  • Step 1:
    Some teenagers may regret changing their original appearance after the surgery. They realize that they made a mistake and cannot take it back.

Physical Pain

  • Step 1:
    While some shows portray the patients having little to no pain in their healing, there actually can be quite a bit of pain.

Depression

  • Step 1:
    While a teenager may have an exact image of what they will look like after the plastic surgery, the results may not be up to their expectations, and depression can often result.
