Cosmetic surgery is risky and should be performed only on healthy people, warned U.S. medical experts. The operations carry the same significant risks as any other kind of surgeries and should require thorough preoperative screening, Dr. Rod Rohrich, chairman of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, was quoted as saying by the website of The Los Angeles Times Saturday. As the number of cosmetic surgeries increases rapidly, experts are struggling to educate people. “I think American consumers have been treating plastic surgery like a commodity,” said Rohrich. “It’s not like going to find a pair of shoes. You can take the shoes back. You can’t bring your life back,” Rohrich said. “Bottom line, cosmetic surgery is only for patients that are healthy,” said the expert.
