22 Plastic Surgeries That Even Top Surgeons Would Refuse To Have Done On Themselves

It can be said that the fact that plastic surgery is highly normalized in our society is kind of a public secret. What we mean by that is that quite a lot of people decide to go under the knife for appearance tweaks, but not all of them like to talk about it publicly. Well, not talking about it, we can understand, but lying that you achieved such results with diet, workouts, or any other “normal” way is rather foul. 

But why do so many people decide to get plastic surgery? Well, as with basically everything else, there are plenty of underlying causes for that, all depending on each person and their context. 

Overall, these days people are less anxious to get these procedures done because with modern medicine and technology, surgery is now safer, less invasive, has a faster recovery time, and lower costs. So, it’s accessible to a broader scope of people. 

These folks might choose to go under the knife because they want to adhere to social beauty standards, for example, changing the shape, size, or symmetry of certain body parts. 

For others, it’s not only about the experience but the function too. Like they might have some birth defects, scars after accidents, or severe injuries that require reconstructive surgery to make an individual’s life at least a tad easier. 

With such a long list of reasons why people choose plastic surgery, there's an equally long list of possible procedures. From the kind of mainstream ones like liposuction to lesser-known ones like palm line surgery (yes, you read that right, it exists). 

Yet, despite plastic surgery being rather common among people, the surgeons themselves have opinions about each procedure. And apparently, there are some that they don’t view in such a positive light and would never choose for themselves under any circumstances. 

As you can see in our list, there are quite a few of them. One of them is the popular Brazilian butt lift, or as it is better known, the BBL. Turns out, despite it being rather a common procedure, it’s a pretty risky one, as it has a rather high mortality rate. In fact, some even dub it “the deadliest aesthetic procedure ever performed.” 

So, it’s not surprising that experts, who are well-versed about the risks, wouldn't want to do it themselves. Yet, the BBL remains pretty popular – people are ready to face the risks for the enhancement of their buttocks. 

Besides the Brazilian butt lift, there are other fairly popular procedures named in this list, but we’re going to leave you to find out about them yourself. Just don’t forget to upvote when you do that. And even better – share your opinions about the topic of plastic surgery in the comments!
