THE YEAR IN BEAUTY.(2004)(Brief Article)
When Looks Can Kill
Plastic surgery has become a mainstay of self-improvement culture, considered safe, effective, and devoid of the stigma it once had. It's also at the core of a successful television genre -- the makeover show. So it was a little shocking to be reminded last January that, even with the best doctors in the best hospitals, plastic surgery can be deadly. Author Olivia Goldsmith (The First Wives' Club) died from cardiac arrest brought on by a "known complication" from anesthesia while having a face-lift at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, as did another plastic- surgery patient a month later. Some people think of surgery as "a part of personal grooming," Sherrell Aston, chairman of the plastic surgery department at Manhattan Eye and Ear, said in a 2002 Newsday article. "It will become more and more common as time goes on and be programmed into people's consciousness." That may be true, but there will certainly be more stories like Goldsmith's to remind us that the risks can be serious -- and all too real.
