22 Plastic Surgeries That Even Top Surgeons Would Refuse To Have Done On Themselves
There are many ways to enhance your appearance. From interesting and fashionable outfits, makeup, to even surgery. And while for some it might seem rather taboo, for others it's not, making plastic surgery procedures quite popular nowadays.
Yet, some plastic surgeons don't think all of the procedures are worth it. Or at least they wouldn't ever do them themselves for various reasons, most commonly associated with the risks that they pose. So, let's take a look at what these not-recommended surgeries are, shall we?

Kind of answering the reverse question, but since trans rights and healthcare are under attack, I want to take this opportunity to point out that gender affirming surgeries have some of the lowest regret rates of all surgeries.

They still have regret rates though...one sees stories of people who have transitioned back. This is why people are concerned that some children are too young to make informed decisions.

The post doesn’t say no one ever regrets it. It’s a big world and there are many different human experiences out there. Gender affirming surgeries - which also include things like hair implants, bòob jobs, etc, don’t forget - have some of the lowest regret rates. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6212091/

Obligatory…oh no wait, I AM an actual surgeon!
I would never get a “nonsurgical” or “liquid” rhinoplasty. Most of the time that’s just filler injected into the nose. There is a risk of filler in this location causing you to go blind.
In general I would never get any facial fillers. They tend to look worse over time and migrate.
And then of course what everyone else said about BBLs. Why risk your life to look like you have a full diaper under your shorts?

360 lifts and abdominoplasty, basically anything that involves removing large amounts of skin and tissue. It's even worse if they combine it with liposuction.
Edit: To the people getting defensive in the replies, I gave this answer because I think the complications are serious enough to warrant very careful consideration from people that do need it. Just because a surgery can improve a person's quality of life doesn't mean we should ignore the potential risks.

between pregnancy and weight loss i ended up with a skin apron tummy. when i found out i needed a hystorectomy i included a tummy tuck at the same time. while i do not regret my decision and i had no real complications i would have been nice if the surgeon would have been a little more forthcoming in regards to incision. after being sent home and all the pain meds had worn off it was excruciating. my husband took me to the e.r. because i couldn't take it any more and the first thing the dr who saw me asked was 'did the guy get paid by the inch?' because it was what has now been decribed as 'table to table' meaning from one side to the next. again, don't regret it but have learned to ask more about recovery following procedures since then.

I had a breast reduction done for medical reasons. Went from a EE to a B. The recovery was brutal. And I'm a nurse! The surgeon told me next to nothing except "you'll love the way you look!" Like she wasn't filling out the medical paperwork. Health insurance paid for it! The incision pulled apart under my left breast to a hole the size of a golf ball. I had the surgery done in December and it didn't fully heal until the following June!
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.

I seriously need some sort of vision-corrective surgery--preferably lens replacement--'cause my eyesight so ludicrously bad that even glasses & contacts can't give me 20/20 (I'm -12/-13). It's ridiculous that such procedures are considered cosmetic for folks like me.

I had a lazy eye (strabismus - one of my eyes was pointed outwards) and while the surgery to correct it wasn’t technically “necessary,” like I wasn’t in pain or suffering or anything…..the quality of life difference it’s made for me in the last 10 years is insane. I’m much happier and more confident now :) eye surgery sucks though, I hope I don’t have to do it again (this was my 2nd time because the first failed after a couple years)
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.

In the early days it was super risky, which is why I opted out, so the recovery is extremely long - like 2-5 yrs, you will need to relearn to walk again, and think about how long it takes for a baby to learn, cos that’s the same level you’ll be on when you get the surgery. Infection rates are quite high still, but the recovery is better than when this surgery first came out- I’m four foot 10 and was going to get it but the risks honestly outweighed the platform shoe collection I had 😂 they break your leg in two places on both legs, it’s insane.

My mother is Hispanic. She has black hair and brown eyes. I don't know a better way to say this, but she's incredibly vain, thinks everyone is looking at her all the time, and wants to "be white". She has bleached her hair blonde since before I was born (I'm 43) and she uses light makeup to lighten her skin tone. (Shocker: her hair is now wrecked, falling out, and the texture of straw.) She used blue contacts for a while, but hated putting them in. She heard about the iris depigmentation years ago and wanted it. I had to tell her that the risks were WAY too high. She's also heard of a "permanent contact lens" surgery where they implant a colored contact lens(?) into your eye, so she could "finally" have those blue eyes she's always wanted. I told her no, also WAY too risky. BTW, she adopted *me* SPECIFICALLY because I'm blonde/blue-eyed... :/ She probably has some form of body dysmorphia, tbh.

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).

Obligatory not a surgeon, but I recently saw a post about “hunter eye” surgery that had gone wrong and looked terrible. Basically it’s trending with incel types that alpha men should have smaller eyes that slant upwards so they look like hunters and not prey, so they’re getting this surgery to alter the slant of their eyes AND DECREASE THE VOLUME OF THEIR EYEBALLS to get smaller eyes. It’s exactly as horrific as it sounds and there are some incredibly questionable results from it.
Some of them looked okay after but it’s a crazy reason to let someone ~~suck the juice from your eyeballs~~ (eta correction) slice through the conjunctiva, slice through the outer corner of the eye, and remove a portion of eye socket (either side and/or underneath the eye) from around the eye.
The reason I thought that decompression involved the eyeball is because in the pics I saw the man was actively bleeding from his eyeballs. :).

I think the only plastic surgery I’d consider is around the eyes, but only if I go the same direction in aging that my grandmother did. The skin above her eye at the brow line sagged so badly she had trouble seeing as it was weighting her eye closed. Botox injections, only for treating migraines. While I do suffer migraines on occasion, they’ve not been serious enough for that level of intervention.

Only an idiot would go to Mexico for any surgery. I talked to a lady whose friend died because of going to Mexico for plastic surgery. And stay the hell away from Sono Bello!!! I drove my cousin for her liposuction a couple of years ago. You are awake and they didn't deaden her enough so she was in a lot of pain and the Dr was complaining about her moving or saying how much it hurt. They finally knocked her out when she couldn't hold in a scream. While she was in pre-op and had been given something to supposedly help her relax a nurse came and told me she needed her pocketbook. I thought she wanted her phone. NOPE they made her pay another $4,000 because the Dr said she had to pay to have the extra skin removed that day, that was illegal! They didn't say anything about it during the pre-op visit. She shouldn't have been discharged because she couldn't even stand up and was trembling from the pain when I got her home. Her stomach has been hard ever since.

Universal healthcare generally doesn’t cover elective surgery. Just saying you could have healthcare that wasn’t so expensive that you could go bankrupt having necessary surgery or healthcare without paying for that twit who wanted a bigger bootie.

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.”

That probably depends on the surgeon and hospital. I worked in a Urology office for 6 years and there were only a couple of men that had post-op infections and that was because they didn't follow instructions. And if they do anything to it before the post -op appt and damage it. Insurance WILL NOT pay for it again. It's about $25,000 to $30,000 from what I remember. One idiot was going to put another mortgage on his house and cancelled a couple of days before. Can't remember if he changed his mind or the loan was denied. Mid 50's and not married at the time.

He refused to do the surgery and asked her "Is it worth the risk of you dying on the table? Because at your age it's a HUGE risk."

Sister is an opthalmic surgeon, and her take on LASIK is terrifying.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 8 months ago (edited)
From OP on Reddit: "LASIK has been great for a lot of people, but there is an elevated risk of several career-ending mishaps that can occur if you depend on your eyes to make money. The main thing she worries about is overcorrection, which you can't undo, and there's also the minor-but-non-zero chance of corneal damage and/or completely destroying your vision into an uncorrectable state. For a surgeon with prescription-correctable sight, it just isn't worth the risk, in her opinion. She told me of a patient who had 'flap issues' whose eyes got infected, they didn't realize it in time (they thought their blurry, mucus-y eyes were just 'part of the healing process'), and they lost both eyes."

My sister had it early on, when it was first approved in the US. I guess they either didn't do a good enough job or they messed something up (because it was so early on in its implementation) or maybe her vision was too bad to be nicely fixed... because she had it done again a few years later. They accidentally over-corrected during the second surgery. Now, because of that, her cornea/lens(?) is VERY thin and fragile and she cannot have any kind of laser/other corrective surgery on her vision any more. She also ended up with corneal scarring.

I had laser surgery to fix a hole on my retina when I was 6. I was the first child they had done the surgery on and didn't use a strong enough laser so I had it redone the next year. It definitely helped for about 15, but then opened again and I had to have another surgery. When I became short-sighted for other reasons, my doctor advised me not to get it treated with laser as the risk of it going wrong (and probably the eye weakening from yet another laser surgery) was too high and it would make me more likely to need reading glasses later in life. That was enough warning for me, even though it would be nice not to wear glasses.

I had it done and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. That being said I did a ton of research, talked to my optometrist about it, did all kinds of scans beforehand, and interviewed the surgeon, who also gave me a tour of the facility and showed me exactly how each machine worked. I also had problems with glasses and contacts. My astigmatism only let me wear one brand of contacts that were incredibly uncomfortable and that I often couldn't put in at all. But a previous surgery on my ear made wearing glasses so uncomfortable I could only keep them on for a few hours. For me Lasik was a great decision that let me see without my eyes or ear hurting every day. But I get it's not the same situation for everyone, and you have to weigh the risks and benefits.

Hair Implants. If you know what's up, the implants are def. visible, the donor area always gets rare, and if you don't take Finasteride (a d**g that has Impotence as a possible side effect), the hair between the plugs WILL fall.
It may be a good procedure for some, and I know many people who are happy with the results, but I d rather keep my pee pee than my hair. And yes, I know.. not everyone gets those side effects. But many do, and in some cases, they are permanent.

Eye color change surgery, it’s risky and some say it can mess up your vision permanently.

I can't understand the reason for this. It's not like you can see them yourself all of the time.

I had surgery last month to fix a deformity I had. Yeah, it was kind of shallow but I didn't feel like I looked normal. And while I'm happy with how it turned out, where the surgeon took the fat is turning into hard scar tissue that you can actually see and it hurts. I knew the possible risks when I had the surgery, but overall I'm happy that I look relatively "normal" now.

Cosmetic surgery to fix a deformity is totally legitimate though! When I was a teenager, I had a pre-cancerous mole removed on my right scapula area (upper back area) and the surgeon who did the removal basically took out SO much tissue that the (huge) scar looked like an "ice-cream scoop". Even though I literally couldn't SEE the scar, it bothered me. Eventually my mom had her plastic surgeon do a "scar reconstruction" on the scar. I keloid, so it's still a huge scar, but it's flat at least and not "scooped out"! I hope you can find some pain relief for your own scar tissue - perhaps steroid injections into the scar tissue? :( I have a patch of morphea (localized scleroderma) on my stomach and it was quite painful until a doc did an injection of corticosteroid directly into the patch itself. (Morphea aren't scars, but maybe could still help?)

This might have been a better read if you managed more fact and less opinion.

Two words: Jocelyn Wildenstein. Real beauty when younger, horrible appearance when she died. TBH I'd only get laser eye surgery if I were to get Superman-style laser eyes :) It might have been worth it to help me play sports when I was a teenager, but definitely not worth it now...more likely to need cataract removal :(

I seriously need some sort of vision-corrective surgery--preferably lens replacement--'cause my eyesight so ludicrously bad that even glasses & contacts can't give me 20/20 (I'm -12/-13). It's ridiculous that such procedures are considered cosmetic and aren't covered by insurance for folks like me.

I'm glad I'm too old to be vain and to poor to afford surgery even if I was.
