Sir: For many people, going under the knife is a very scary thought. Cosmetic surgeries are perilous. The people who undergo any kind of surgery, risk their lives. Those who get them done can get cardiovascular and lung diseases. Not just that, there are higher chances of contracting diabetes or obesity. Other complications can be stroke, heart attack or blood clots in lungs. Cosmetic surgeries are not always successful. Sometimes they can be quite unsatisfactory. The surgeries do not always come up as the customers want, which can require additional surgeries. Any kind of surgery has side effects, and all the effects are harmful to the body. They can also cause nerve damage, infections, scarring, general appearance dissatisfaction, organ damage and blood loss. Who would get surgery done after knowing all these side effects? Such surgeries not only ruin the lifestyle but also the overall appearance of a person. It has become common for everyone in Pakistan to get surgeries. And it is not just a nip and tuck to appear younger and fresher. Greater numbers of young women are now going under the knife. There are unlimited exercises online that are effective. It is always a good idea to go all natural without having any fear or harm. Moreover, the use of lasers has the ability to cause skin burn. ABEERA GHUFRAN Karachi
