Thinking of having a little cosmetic work done? You're not alone. Aesthetic surgery is a reasonable option for those who choose that route after much research and deliberation. Unfortunately, too many people seek out plastic surgeons for all the wrong reasons. As such, I would like to share 10 reasons why cosmetic surgery may not work for you.
