strongest point 1

My strongest argument is that plastic surgery is not always safe. It can be extremely dangerous and it carries many risks. In recent years, it has given the word “makeover” a whole new meaning. When undergoing procedures, there are many dangers that exist. Complications can occur which could result in hospitalization of the patient. Some risks include blood loss, anesthesia, and injury from injections or incisions. Even the finest facilities can run into troubles. As the number of those pursuing perfection has increased, so has the number of people injured and killed. Undergoing more than one procedure at a time can increase risks. It is generally not recommended. It prolongs recovery, and also increases the time a patient is anesthetized. Bad reactions to anesthesia are not uncommon. Sometimes a patient can seem to do everything right and prepare well and assess their decision carefully, but still end up paying the ultimate price. Another point about the dangers of cosmetic surgery has to do with the workplace. Patients often prefer a doctor’s office because it feels more personal and comfortable. Many doctors like it because they can implement total control over their surroundings and prices. However, sometimes these offices can be unsafe because some state and local governments do not monitor whether or not the offices sustain sufficient safety precautions. Another dangerous factor of cosmetic surgery that is often not exhibited to the public is that it is not necessary for a doctor to be trained as a plastic surgeon in order to practice plastic surgery. From a legal standpoint, all a person needs is a degree in medicine. Doctors can choose to become certified by the American Medical Association and recognized by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. To do that, they must go through seven years of training, including a three-year residency in general surgery and at least two additional years of a residency in plastic surgery. However, there are many doctors who don't bother with the special training and practice the surgery anyway, solely to supplement their incomes; plastic surgery is, after all, one of the very few medical specialties where the practitioners get paid in cash up front. Many different doctors are performing cosmetic procedures for one simple reason: money. Since doctors have the legal right to perform such operations, it is the job of the patient to do their homework and research the doctor beforehand, however, this still does not guarantee a successful result. Choosing a qualified surgeon is crucial, yet there are still people who make mistakes. From May 2003 to January 2004, there was an account of five people in Florida who had died following cosmetic surgery. Of those five, only two in these fatal cases were board-certified. One woman who died after undergoing a breast augmentation was operated on by a doctor who specialized in dentistry.
