Plastic surgery: Yes and no... If you are healthy, having an aesthetic treatment is usually safe. Make sure you tell you plastic surgeon what medications you are taking, even over the counter medication. Even healthy patients can have complications so make sure you discuss the potential problems with your plastic surgeon.

Yes and no: If performed on an appropriate patient by a board certified plastic surgeon it is very safe, but may procedures are done inappropriately by non trained physicians or even non physicians

Depends: All surgery has its risks. If I understand your question when you ask if "plastic surgery" is dangerous, am I correct to assume that you mean cosmetic surgery? In the hands of a competent surgeon, the risks should be low in a healthy individual.

Is it Dangerous?: The risks of cosmetic plastic surgery are the same as any other surgery: infection, hematoma, wound breakdown, hypertrophic/unacceptable scarring, bleeding, as well as the potential cosmetic problems such as overcorrection, undercorrection, contour irregularity, inability to achieve a specific cosmetic result, etc.
