[Esthetic surgery, a luxury...but at which price?].
Esthetic surgery became very popular during the last years. It helps many patients psychologically. However, the operations have to correspond to the wishes of the patients. Therefore, the patients have not to be only informed of the possible results but also of the risk of complications, the presence of scars, of swellings, etc. At this condition only will the patients be satisfied of their esthetic operation.
