Debunking the myths about plastic surgery with Jason Leedy, a 2022 ThreeBestRated award-winning plastic surgeon in Cleveland, Ohio

Let’s face it. Most of us think plastic surgery is all about beauty and vanity. But that’s not true. Plastic surgery goes a long way beyond altering one’s appearance for cosmetic purposes. Likewise, there are a lot of facts that have been misrepresented on the internet about plastic surgery. Let’s debunk the myths about it with the help of a plastic surgeon.

Jason Leedy, MD, a 2022 ThreeBestRated® award-winning plastic surgeon in Cleveland, Ohio, shares the top five myths everyone needs to know about plastic surgery. They are:

• Plastic surgery is about vanity and superficial looks: No, plastic surgery is really about making people feel better. When we look better or have a physical concern corrected, we feel better, and that helps us live better lives. Seeing the newfound confidence in my patients and hearing how their lives have improved as a result of their procedures is the greatest reward for what I do.

• Plastic surgeons are all about high-pressure sales and being flashy on social media: Unfortunately some are, but the majority are not. Plastic surgeons are doctors first and foremost. We have taken an oath to first do no harm. All plastic surgeons of integrity should have a patient’s best interest in mind at all times, and that typically goes with a more serious demeanor that’s respectful of the profession. My goal with consultations is to primarily educate the patient about what options are possible for them so they can come to a decision that they are comfortable with.

• Plastic surgery is very dangerous: It can be and unfortunately with the rise of medical tourism we have seen more serious complications. But in the right hands, specifically, with a reputable plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, plastic surgery is safe. Complications are very rare with well trained, reputable, board-certified plastic surgeons. It is important to do your homework. Research not only the doctor but the facility where they perform their surgeries.

• Plastic surgery is expensive and only for the rich and famous: Plastic surgery is much more affordable than people realize, and it is achievable for most people. There are many financing options available, and though costs vary from surgeon to surgeon and region to region, by and large, there are reputable, accredited surgeons and facilities that can provide excellent, affordable life-improving care.

• Plastic surgery will make me look unnatural: We have all seen people who look unnatural, or have an “operated look” after plastic surgery but that is not the norm. By consulting with a reputable, board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery plastic surgeon, and clearly delineating one’s goals and expectations, beautiful, natural results are always obtainable. The techniques nowadays are very advanced and promote more natural results. We don’t realize that many people have had plastic surgery because their results are so natural.
