• Botox (botulinum toxin): Botulinum toxin has not always had a good press, and yet it is in great demand by all those who want to appear younger and erase the traces of aging.
• Aesthetic laser: Couperoses, small spots, acne… When the skin turns red, sometimes you turn green. But now, these small red lesions of the skin are no longer inevitable thanks to the laser.

• Alternatives to liposuction: Medicine is advancing, and alternative techniques less traumatic than liposuction are developing. There are three main ones: one by ultrasound, the other by injections, and a third which combines injections and ultrasounds. It remains to be seen whether the results live up to the promises.

Cosmetic Surgery: What Are the Causes and Consequences?

The reasons

Plastic surgery is a surgical operation in full expansion for several years. It consists in shaping the external tissues of the human body. It offers three main purposes, namely rejuvenation, reconstruction and correction.

In Tunisia, and everywhere in the world, both women and men give as the main motive that something in their appearance they don't like and that they wanted to change it. Others explain that it is for functional reasons (eg back pain, breathing problems) and ultimately the most popular reason is “To feel better”.

The operations experiencing a real boom in Tunisia are: 

• Liposuction dedicated to removing excess fat
• Rhinoplasty intended to adjust the shape of the nose by reducing the width of the nostrils and the nasal tip.
• The facelift capable of rejuvenate the face.
• Breast lift, necessary to eradicate the disgrace of breast ptosis.
• Abdominal, crural and brachial plasty for reshape sagging skin.
• Hair transplantation to correct the cranial areas devastated by baldness.
• Obesity surgery based on the 2 main procedures, namely the Bypass and the Gastric Sleeve.

There is no specific legislation with the consequence that any holder of a legal medical degree can still practice cosmetic surgery. So there are family doctors who perform liposuction.

However, many aesthetic services are in fact considered as heavy interventions requiring real specialization, mastery of the techniques used and the ability to deal with any complications.

In addition, private clinics and practices are still not subject to the same criteria as hospitals, such as supervision, security and facilities. However, a majority of Tunisians who have undergone an operation have chosen this pathway. 

Risks and complications

Offering part of your body with a scalpel or laser always involves some risk. Outraged normal side effects (swelling, scars, etc.) the anesthesia (if necessary) may not be well tolerated, an infection may occur, the skin may necrosis, loss of sensation in parts of the skin may occur, along with other complications.

In the case of breast reduction, the percentage of side effects can rise to 26%, and true complications constitute 21% of cases. In women who do breast augmentation, the extent of side effects is just as great as the complications (23%).

A failed facelift is not cosmetic surgery, it's just surgery

Michèle Bernier

For liposuction, it appeared that in 37,5% of cases there were side effects and in 12,5% ​​of cases there were complications. For 90% of the cases, the complications were of a transient nature.

The advantages of cosmetic surgery

Cosmetic surgery is a real medical advance which has many advantages. It has indeed a positive impact on the psychological level.

According to one international study on the benefits of cosmetic surgery, people who have undergone this kind of operation can have self-confidence and self-esteem. These persons feel less anxious on a daily basis. They therefore have a good psychological condition after the operation.

Then, cosmetic surgery is an effective treatment for avoiding personality disorders or self-confidence issues. And at the physical level, it corrects physical defects on any part of the body.

By resorting to surgical interventions, the patient can therefore obtain the image that she has always wanted. Thus, she can be in harmony with her body. Subsequently, it is also a way to regain beauty by remedying any malformations on certain parts of the body.

How to choose your cosmetic surgeon?

Choosing your cosmetic surgeon is the first obstacle. It's not like finding a hairdresser or someone to give you a workout: your relationship with the person who wears a needle or scalpel is based on common goals, mutual understanding and above all, trust.

You will sit down in front of that person and share your deepest concerns with him : you will work with him. He will try to you restore a sense of confidence and well-being (and, perhaps, self-esteem).

This person will be by your side when you are most vulnerable, and they will be there when it is all over. So make sure this is the right person, and always choose someone who is registered in the register of specialists.

These guidelines can help you find the right cosmetic surgeon for your needs:

• First of all, you should interview two or three surgeons whose specialties correspond to your needs. Surgeons must be certified by the board of directors.
• Individual recommendations are important : Ask friends if they have been referred for a similar procedure. Get the advice of your family doctor and other medical knowledge. Surgical technicians and operating room nurses are a great source of information on the skills of an operating room surgeon.
• Find out about their academic training, specialized training in specific procedures.
• Check with your state's medical council for verify the surgeon's certification, education and license to practice. And check to see if disciplinary action has been taken against the surgeon.

Remember, cosmetic surgery is a highly competitive field. Make no mistake if any clinics claim to be "the only" or "the best" as this excludes many surgeons who might be better choices for your particular problems.

Questions to ask before choosing your cosmetic surgeon

At this point, you may have narrowed your choice down to one or two cosmetic surgeons. The time has come for the consultation. Here are the key questions to consider:

1. What is the surgeon's area of ​​expertise?
2. Has the surgeon been practicing for many years or has he performed several of these procedures?
3. Is the surgeon friendly while still being confident and professional?
4. If the procedure is not performed in the doctor's office, does the surgeon use a certified surgical facility with certified anesthesiologists and up-to-date emergency equipment and anesthetic monitoring devices?
5. What is the total price of the intervention? (This includes surgeon's fees, operating room, anesthesia, and other costs.)
6. Are you allowed to see other patients' before and after photos? Are there computer images that you and the surgeon can view together?
7. Does the surgeon encourage you to ask questions?
8. Are the surgeon's answers to your questions realistic?
9. If a second surgery is necessary, what is your financial responsibility?

When most people think of plastic surgery, they think of the results they hope to get but not every plastic surgery story ends well.

If you've made sure that your potential surgeon has the expertise and experience, you are well on your way to choosing the right doctor, but he or she must also deliver exceptional results.

Most plastic surgeons keep a folder of "before and after" images that you should consider. Be sure to include at least two sample “after” photos taken a year or more after surgery.

These tips will help you find a qualified cosmetic surgeon who will do a great job, but your relationship with the surgeon and the way their staff interact with you will have a huge impact on your experience and your results.

If you are happy, confident and feel like you are heard, your experience will be easier and less stressful, which can ease your recovery period and improve the end result.

Choosing the best cosmetic surgery clinic

If you want to achieve effective results, choose a reputable clinic that has a team of aesthetics specialists. There are a lot of cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics all over the world and it becomes difficult to choose one that gives safe and effective results.

Below are some tips for choosing a reputable aesthetic clinic in Tunisia or elsewhere:

• Ask for recommendations: Choose a clinic that really offers effective treatments and is not known for making false promises to patients. Obtain referrals from former clients or their family members who have received treatment at this clinic before finalizing a clinic selection. A person who has had treatment can easily share their personal experience about the results of the treatment.
• Find a clinic with experienced staff: Experience is very important in providing safe and effective treatment. Hence, you should go for a clinic which has experienced surgeon doctors and dermatologists.
• The clinic should have the latest equipment: Choose a clinic that has all of the latest equipment to treat a problem and get the best results. The obsolete use of equipment can cause a lot of damage to your skin.
