What is the risk for death during cosmetic surgery?

The risk of dying in any surgical procedure is between 1 in 250,000 and 1 in 500,000. This is similar to the risk of dying in a plane crash. In contrast, the chance of being involved in a fatal car accident was estimated at 1 in 2,000 in a study of the California highway system, and 1 in 5,000 nationwide.

Certain procedures are more risky than others. Certainly, the risk of death during eyelid surgery is much lower than the 1 in 50,000 risk of dying during liposuction. In a study of twenty-three office surgery deaths in Florida between January 2000 and May 2004, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that the death rate was about 1 in 16,000 procedures overall.

An interesting statistic emerges when this information is critically analyzed: the death rate for non-board-certified plastic surgeons, and other doctors such as dermatologists, was 1 in about 11,000 procedures; the death rate was three times lower, about 1 in 35,000, in patients operated on by board-certified plastic surgeons.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
