When Plastic Surgery Goes Wrong Tara Reid

Even when you are beautiful and slim like Tara Reid, the actress from ‘American Pie’ movie, you may be tempted to go for a bit of a plastic surgery hoping to improve your look, but imagine what you ended with pain and deformity.

That’s what exactly happened to Tara Reid. Her breast augmentation and liposuction surgery went really, really wrong. She wanted to have a beautiful even breast and six-pack, but ended up with some bumps along the edges of her nipples and bulgy stomach.

She honestly admitted that: “Right after the surgery I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, 'Don't worry, it's going to be better.' But after six months it started to get worse and worse."

So, what could be the implications of the breast augmentation surgery?

Threateningly, the list is very long. The surgery could leave you with excessive bleeding, loss of nipple sensation, asymmetry, implant rupture or shifting, infection, internal scar tissue or the need for second or even sometimes third procedures.
And that was exactly happened with Tara; she needed another surgery.

Another popular plastic surgery celebrity go for is liposuction - a fat removal procedure that aims to eradicate excessive stubborn fat from stomach, thighs, chin, chest or back.

Even though the plastic surgeons assure their customers about the safety of the liposuction surgery, this can get also wrong.

Unfortunately Tara Reid knows the best how the body sculpting can end up badly. She said: “I got liposuction because even though I was skinny I wanted a six-pack. I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most bulgy thing."

Not only had she ended up with bulgy stomach, but her dream of having a six-pack was crushed.

Even if the liposuction surgery may give you the impression of a simple procedure there implications can be serious. There is a chance of allergic reaction to the anaesthetic, infection, bleeding or swelling which may persist even for weeks after the operation.

There could be nerve compression and changes in sensation in a form of an increased pain or the loss of any sensitivity.

The skin may become less elastic after the liposuction if a large volume of fat has been removed from a large area.

Last but not least there is a possibility of developing lungs problem.

All in all, any surgery carries on a certain risk to your health. But you must ask yourself a question if going voluntarily for a plastic surgery is the thing you really want to do. Because if you believe that plastic surgery will make you happy you may be mistaken.

Happiness comes from inside, when your private, social and career life is in balance; when you are healthy and you have sufficient money. No amount of surgeries will make you permanently happy.

You will end up with not only visible scars on your body but with emotional scars as well.

Yoga and Stress

Yoga provides a holistic approach to manage stress. It combines several stress management techniques
such as breathing, meditation in addition to hatha yoga.

Stress is the byproduct of the present day competitive work environment and unhealthy life style.

Stress is the silent killer and affects almost all spheres of life such as health, energy level, work related
performance and yet so little is done in this direction to cope with it.

In fact, stress when persists over a period of time become the most dangerous factor behind most of the
psychosomatic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, migraine, digestive disorders, ulcer and even
cancer, etc.

Stress is the second biggest cause of employees’ sickness absence days in the UK. According to the
Health and Safety Executive UK, “The cost of stress to Britain’s economy is around 6.7 million working days
lost per year, costing society around £4 billion”.

Stress is costing an estimated £13B ($20B) per year in Europe according to a study by the European
Commission. The cost of stress related illnesses is constantly increasing around the globe.

Modern medicine can’t provide effective treatment to the stress because the real problem doesn’t lie inside
the physical body. It originates from the mind, and then disturbs our energy level and finally appears on our
physical level in the form of a disease.

Yoga provides holistic and effective approach to manage stress. The major benefit of yoga is that it
combines the practices of several stress management techniques such as breathing, meditation,
visualization in addition to holding yoga poses.

The approach of yoga to manage stress is multidimensional. It not only helps on physical level but also
releases stress at the level of mind and improves the energy level of a practitioner. Yoga is a complete
approach towards managing stress.

The gentle yoga helps in releasing stress at physical level as stiffness of joints can be improved. Breathing
exercises such as kapalabhati and alternate nostril breathing bring balance at energy level. Regular practice
of meditation helps to eliminate stress at the level of mind.

People fail to realise that things don’t happen of their own; we have to make them happen. If we want to stay
healthy, we need to ensure that we stay stress-free by exercising regularly such as swimming, dancing or
adopting a holistic approach through yoga.

If we don’t take care about our own health then who will?

Botched Cosmetic Surgery and Death of Denise Hendry

What it seemed to be a simple liposuction surgery lead eventually to the loss of a woman’s life, the mother of four and the beloved wife of the former Scotland footballer, Colin Hendry.

In April 2002 Denise Hendry decided to go for a minor liposuction operation at the private 17-bed Broughton Park Hospital, near Preston, Lancashire to regain her figure after her fourth child.

Instead of having a bikini body she ended up with nine punctures to her bowel and colon which caused multiple organ failure. She suffered severe blood poisoning and a cardiac arrest.

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or "fat modelling", is a cosmetic Surgery operation that removes fat from many different sites on the human body such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, the neck and backs of the arms.

Although she was awarded the compensation of 300,000, the largest payout for botched plastic surgery in history, she never fully recovered from the operation and her last seven years became a struggle to regain her health.

In May this year Denise Hendry underwent 16 hours of reconstructive surgery on her abdomen but tragically she was left desperately ill once again ending up in the intensive care for a couple of weeks.

Her short life ended after switching off the support life machine. Another unnecessary death, another tragedy, another grieve and despair.

The liposuction surgery is said to be a very simple procedure, where through a tiny incision, a narrow tube called cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin.

As simple as it may sound there are possibilities of serious complications. Since the surgeon cannot see the cannula, there is a chance of damaging an internal organ, such as the intestines during abdominal liposuction which can be fatal.

And that what exactly happened in case of Denise Hendry.

Do we have to wait until someone we love dies to make a stand and start raising awareness about the potential dangers of plastic surgery?

What it has to take to stop this evil money making industry?

The cosmetic surgery world advertises heavily to convince you and millions of others that you need them to look beautiful and to be happy. Unfortunately, they are on a winning side because their stakes are growing bigger and the industry is flourishing.

Until we make a stand and educate potential victims that any cosmetic surgery, even a minor one, can be a life threatening procedure, the cosmetic surgeons will continue to put peoples’ life at risk.
