What to Expect When You are to Undergo a Cosmetic Surgery
It is unfortunate to note that there are many children born with physical defects in developing nations that could easily be resolved with reconstructive surgery could they but afford it. In most of these areas there is only a single doctor catering to tens of thousands of people. Most of these doctors in the rural areas are not specially trained and can only refer their patients to hospitals in larger towns and cities when the condition is beyond their capabilities. However, even with a referral letter, these families are often unable to access the necessary treatment for their child’s cleft lip or burn scars due to a lack of money. This does not however negate the need for urgent medical attention as in some cases if left untreated a child’s ability to eat, talk and breathe may later be seriously compromised.
It is thanks to doctors like Renato Calabria that many children in such countries are able to freely take advantage of reconstructive surgery expertise. He, and others like him, regularly donate their time and travel to cities in South America where children with congenital defects and physical abnormalities are worked on. This kind of generosity not only enables these children to lead normal lives when they return to their homes, but also gives other doctors in these countries a chance to learn new techniques from eminent physicians practicing in developed countries like the U.S.
While cosmetic surgery is still often thought of as the preserve of the rich, it does do a lot to not just enhance the physical appearance of a person but also their confidence. For children who must live daily with physical deformity that isolates them from their peers, reconstructive cosmetic surgery procedures performed by experts like Dr. Renato Calabria has given them a chance to rejoin society without feeling or looking different from the rest. This has helped many to gain a confidence they never had and bring joy to families that have struggled with social stigma.
