Discover widely popular cosmetic surgeries shaping global beauty standards today.
The plastic surgery department had seen drastic developments in the recent years, from a mere reconstructive procedure for war victims to a vast aesthetic or cosmetic surgery, a lot of modern procedures that work towards beautifying clients have seen the heights.
No matter the concern – from a protruding tummy, small breasts, wrinkles, and a big nose to acne, enlarged pores, unwanted hair, loose facial skin, or bald patches – the cosmetic surgery department offers solutions for a wide range of physical appearance challenges.
Unlike restoration and/or reconstruction procedures, cosmetic surgeries are elective medical sessions as patients choose to change or enhance appearance of a particular body part without suffering from any functional problems, which may not be covered under insurance. There are a lot of procedures that come into use focusing on respective body parts such as nose, lips, buttocks, cheeks and so on.
Breast Augmentation: Augmenting breasts to make them bigger, fuller and firmer is a common cosmetic surgery as many women choose to flaunt big breasts with deep cleavages. Saline fillers and silicone gel implants are pushed into breasts to increase their size. These are pushed into breasts through small incisions made either on areola or behind pectoral muscle. Boob jobs are considered one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide.
Breast lift: Lifting sagged breasts is another common procedure by surgically removing excessive skin to give them proper shape and firmer look. Injecting fat fillers or breast augmentation procedures could be combined to give a proper shape while taking care of saggy skin.
Breast reduction: As the name suggests, women who are not happy with their naturally large breasts can reduce the size by getting skin and glandular tissue removed. Even men opt to get rid of their 'man-boobs'.
Rhinoplasty or nose job: Not everyone has perfect pointed nose to match the facial outline; hence making it one of the most performed cosmetic surgery across the world. There are both surgical procedures and nonsurgical filler injections are in use for specific nose job needs.
Lip Enhancement: Enhancing, reshaping and plumping of lips through invasive and noninvasive cosmetic techniques are practiced. Doctors inject fillers for plumper lips and surgically reshape lips as per client requirements.
Facelift: As we age, wrinkles appear on face giving out age. Facial skin is stretched and redraped to remove wrinkles. Facelift in combination with fat filler injections produce youthful looks with proper facial contours.
Liposuction: It is suction of excessive fat from selected body parts such as abdomen and thighs using metal tubes called cannulas. It is one of the easiest and quickest ways to remove excessive fat when compared to physical exercises and dieting. It could be used in combination with tummy tuck as tubes suck fat tissue leaving loose skin to be tucked in carefully to give flat and toned abdomen.
Laser Treatments: Lasers are used at specific frequencies to remove unwanted hair, skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. These are usually permanent cosmetic procedures with more than one sitting. Lasers are preferred over other methods as they are less painful and do not affect other parts of body.
Cheek augmentation, buttock augmentation, buttlift, otoplasty and browplasty are some of the procedures among many other cosmetic surgeries available to alter physical appearance.
Cosmetic surgery is the quickest means to enhance beauty; however it is important to consult certified and experienced plastic surgeon to ensure effective treatment. It is crucial to read reviews, take feedback from patients and review previous work before zeroing in on a doctor.
Cosmetic surgeons sit with clients to understand the need for aesthetic procedure, rule out Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and give a clear picture about the procedure with realistic expectations, time required, number of sessions, cost and possible side effects.
These are permanent irreversible procedures that alter physical appearance; hence it is advisable to sit on the idea before making them a reality.
