Before and after the Spring Festival holiday, many beauty lovers choose "micro-plastic surgery" to let themselves have a beautiful Spring Festival, and they take the means of medical cosmetology.
Medical cosmetology refers to the use of traumatic or invasive medical techniques to repair and reshape the appearance of people and the shape of human body parts. However, in reality, there are many consumers who fail to undergo medical aesthetic surgery, resulting in damage to their lives, health and legitimate rights and interests. What do you need to pay attention to when choosing medical aesthetics? How to avoid the "trap" of medical aesthetics?
Be careful! "Micro" plastic surgery becomes "dangerous" plastic surgery.
In the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, nearly half of the patients come for repair after medical aesthetic failure. Ms. Zhao from Changchun is coming to the plastic surgery hospital for the second time to have her face injected, having been taken by a friend to a beauty clinic for injections and fillers more than ten years ago.
Ms. Zhao: At that time, there was actually nothing on the face, just a little bit of concave, (the beauty salon) said to fill in, and then I did it, and both sides were filled.
At that time, the beauty salon told her that the filler would be absorbed, but later found that the filler was not only not absorbed, but was like two big stones on her cheeks, getting stiffer and stiffer.
According to the doctor, the substances filled into Ms. Zhao's face are actually omeidine, a polyacrylamide hydrogel, which has been banned by the state on April 30, 2006.
In recent years, Ms. Zhao has gone to many hospitals in order to repair her face, spending nearly 200,000 yuan, and the "hard lumps" on her face can only be removed little by little through surgery. Ms. Zhao said that the repair process after plastic surgery failure is long and painful, and it is important to understand carefully and make a careful decision before plastic surgery.
Ms. Zhao: The psychological shadow is very heavy, in fact, I am a very optimistic person, but this has a special impact on my body and mind, and for me, this trauma is quite big. I think everyone has a love for beauty, but we still have to be cautious.
The undesirable consequences of "plastic surgery" in informal institutions may appear years later.
Medical cosmetology, the word "medicine" is the first. Consumers must be cautious when choosing medical aesthetics. The first is the choice of medical institutions, like hospitals, institutions that carry out medical aesthetic projects need to have professional qualifications, and the projects carried out can only be limited to the scope of the license. The reporter's investigation found that many beauty lovers may not have any problems at that time after completing some plastic surgery projects in informal medical institutions, but a few years later, when problems arise, they find that the "beauty salons" that do medical beauty at that time have been empty.
Ms. Zhang, from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, underwent rhinoplasty five years ago at a "beauty institution" in her hometown, and placed a silicone implant on the bridge of her nose, and two years later the implant was displaced. So, under the introduction of a friend, I went to a beauty medical institution in Hangzhou for two repair surgeries, but the results were not satisfactory. When she tried to find the beauty medical institution in Hangzhou for the third time to repair it, she found that the building was empty.
Ms. Zhang: When I went over there, the hospital was also so big, and it wasn't the kind of small hospital. This nose has bothered me for five or six years, just blame me for being too sloppy.
Coincidentally, in the past two days, Ms. Hu was preparing to undergo surgery to remove foreign bodies inside her nose, because she noticed an unknown object in a "beauty institution" five years ago, which caused her nose to be red and hard, not only the shape of her nose was not "tall", but even "deformed".
Ms. Hu: This nose slowly widened and turned red, and I didn't feel right, (the professional doctor) said that this injection was not hyaluronic acid.
According to the clinician's diagnosis, the unknown object injected by Ms. Hu may be hydroxyapatite, commonly known as "bone meal".
Wen Huicai, Director of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: This kind of object is generally used to make bones, it cannot be done on the soft tissues, and on the nose, which is easy to cause tissue hardening and necrosis. If it has not been treated for a long time, there has been a certain inflammatory reaction, and it has become red, and if it is more serious, it will break down and cause disfigurement. Now we have to open her nose, take out all the foreign bodies, and then carry out anti-inflammatory, so that the inflammation subsides, so that the ** is no longer damaged and red.
Experts said that on the whole, China's medical aesthetic institutions are disorganized, uneven in quality, and uneven in development. Most of the market is occupied by informal institutions, so these places are often prone to aesthetic accidents. In May 2023, the State Administration for Market Regulation and 11 other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening the Supervision of the Medical Cosmetology Industry", which clearly stipulates that medical cosmetology services are medical activities. Experts suggest that relevant departments should further strengthen the supervision of the medical cosmetology industry, reduce the occurrence of adverse events, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
Expert: It's not right to start anti-aging at the age of 18.
According to reports, many medical aesthetic cases with unsatisfactory results were found to be surgeries performed by unqualified institutions. These unqualified medical cosmetology institutions often attract consumers with lower ** and exaggerated publicity effects, and some institutions even create "appearance anxiety", such as using the concept of "anti-aging at the age of 18" to induce young people to carry out medical cosmetology. In this regard, experts remind that the pursuit of beauty needs to be rational, and the so-called "trendy concept" hyped up by some medical beauty advertisements cannot be easily believed.
Guo Xin, Deputy Chief Physician of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: Why is there so much emphasis on premature or preventive anti-aging in the market? The main thing is to expand the group of consumers, and the existing patients have been basically saturated, so it is developed into a younger group, and the young people themselves may not know much about these. In this way, there are more consumers, and the merchants will get more benefits, so it is definitely not right to say that early anti-aging or even 18-year-old anti-aging.
Experts said that the cell activity of the 18-year-old and 25-year-old human body is in a state of increase, and the subcutaneous fat layer is very healthy, and there is no need for external intervention such as injections and photoelectric treatments.
Wen Huicai, Director of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: For example, common maintenance and anti-aging are generally treated with some skin boosters, which should be done after the age of 25, but it should not be too frequent.
Guo Xin, Deputy Chief Physician of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: If there is no aging, if we carry out anti-aging, we know that the simplest photoelectric light is through the promotion of some fascial layers from the **layer to the deep layer. The ** state of young people, including the state of the subcutaneous fat layer, is very healthy, so after stimulation, premature formation of spots, for the future ** state, and even aging may be counterproductive, and even change their face shape, originally quite a young and full face, some anti-aging will have a fat-dissolving effect, so it collapses, but it looks bad.
Unnecessary cosmetic surgery should not be done.
Experts remind that any medical aesthetic "plastic surgery"** project has strict diagnosis and treatment standards. Medical cosmetology consumption needs to be rational, related to their own life and health, and choose carefully on the premise of a comprehensive understanding of the risks.
Experts remind that in the case of medical cosmetology institutions blooming everywhere, beauty lovers must "keep their eyes open" when choosing medical institutions and medical cosmetology products, first understand the disadvantages and disadvantages of this medical cosmetology project, and then comprehensively assess the hidden risks.
Wen Huicai, Director of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: Whether it is a private or public institution, everyone should screen whether it has a practice license.
Experts suggest that patients do have clear "shortcomings" that affect their appearance and self-confidence, and that they should go to a regular hospital, find a professional doctor, and use regular drugs for **.
Guo Xin, Deputy Chief Physician of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: I think that when I seek beauty, I must try to do as few surgeries as possible. If it is already beautiful, only a little flaw or flaw will bring out the beauty of other parts more. My understanding of cosmetic surgery is that you have a definite shortcoming, and indeed this shortcoming affects your appearance very much, and even affects your self-confidence, you fully understand the surgical plan to improve this shortcoming, and find an experienced doctor in a regular medical institution to consult more and understand the pros and cons before proceeding**. Necessary cosmetic surgery should be done, and no unnecessary cosmetic surgery should be done.
