Athletes are always looking for any ways to increase their performance. Nobody can doubt about it. That’s why a lot of sportspeople use anabolic steroids or/and other medications which have performance-enhancing effects. But there is another method as well. Mixed martial artists use even plastic surgery for this need.
Everybody knows that fighters have facial lacerations. This is the nature of this sport. After mixed martial artists have experienced a cut, they become more inclined to following cuts. The scar tissue can develop; wounds are sutured in several cases improperly. It may happen that physicians suture just the superficial layer of the skin. It is not well because it results in improper healing of underlying tissue.
An interesting article about Frank Stile, a plastic surgeon was published by the writer Jake Rossen. This specialist makes operations for mix martial artists. He removes the scar tissue and replaces it with tissue from donated corpses. Such procedures are frequently used for cosmetic needs. Frank Stile is considered to be the first surgeon that has used this procedure for performance-enhancing effects in mixed martial artists.
It is also important to mention that prominent facial bones in the nose, brow and cheek may make the fighters predisposed to lacerations. But it may be prevented as well. Surgeons can remove the sharp edges. It may help to avoid probable cuts.
Since inclinations to lacerations disturb fighters to reach better results, certain experts confirm that it is possible to create a super-fighter due to plastic surgery. Thus, these fighters will have significant competitive advantages.
Earlier experts thought about this possibility as well. It can prove the work written by the science fiction author Richard Matheson. The work was written in 1956. The writer described a future. It was written that people watched how large robot athletes fought, trying to destroy one another’s CPUs.
When Matheson was writing the story, he didn’t suppose that it would be very provocative. A lot of persons desired to see other sportspersons in reality. They wanted the fighter to be other than human. That’s why many fans invested much money, hoping to achieve this result.
It is possible to suppose that cosmetic surgery will soon reach the level of the method of steroid use and intake of other performance-enhancing drugs.
Of course, many ethical questions appear in this situation. But some experts claim that it is too late to discuss these questions. Human performance is already tightly connected with technological progress. The corruption of sports has started long ago and it can’t be stopped, according to opinions of many specialists.
Anti-doping agencies have displayed that they are not able to war on steroids and other banned preparations effectively. Will anybody have ability to keep fighters from surgical procedures?
