      I am not an surgeon or a skin specialist but I can imagine the stress of multiple surgeries. In reconstructive surgery like after severe burns, plastic surgery can be very helpful to the survivor, boost their confidence and heal emotional trauma. Cosmetic plastic surgery on the other hand can also be helpful but also can be a sign of underlying emotional and psychological issues. Sometimes certain careers may require one to undergo plastic surgery. It is difficult to generalise on the impacts, rather look at it from case to case.
