Plastic surgery: is it worth the risk?

Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Beauty, Celebrity


This week, a study was released that says 17% of Americans will get some kind of cosmetic surgery in 2015. That means almost 1 out of every 5 people in the nation will go under the knife that year in order to "fix" some kind of perceived flaw -- and that number includes children. Of course, a vast majority of these people will be adults, and some will have a lot of work done. Still, that's a lot of people putting their health at risk to do an elective surgery.

Part of the reason that people are flocking to surgery is that it's perceived as totally safe. Plus, the number and types of procedures are always growing. Right now, one of the hottest procedures is breast reduction surgery for men. Sure, everybody has times that they wish they could make a change in their appearance, but there are definitely risks involved with all surgeries.

Do you think it's worth it? Have any of you guys ever had a plastic surgery mishap or close call?
