Popular Cosmetic Surgical Procedures

Over the years, plastic surgery has gained immense popularity according to the reports by American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This report sheds light on the surge in the procedures to modify the natural human body structure.

‘Boob job’ is commonly used to refer to breast augmentation. One of the methods of this procedure is transferring fat from one part of the body to the breasts. The other method includes artificial implants. The artificial implants in the breasts are mostly filled with either saline or silicone solution.

Liposuction, on the other hand, is the removal of fat from areas to make them look appealing. This is quite a popular surgical procedure. Such surgical processes can be carried on any part of the body, such as the thighs, hips, ankles, back, chin, cheeks, butt, and abdomen. Such surgical procedures cannot be considered for the removal of cellulite nor can it be treated as a solution to obesity. However, a lot of people consider it as a means of achieving a slimmer and contoured appearance.

The process that reshapes the nose, rhinoplasty or a ‘nose job’ is another popular procedure. This procedure is carried out to reshape or resize the nose so that it is proportionate with the rest of the face. Sometimes, there are cases where people may have problems related to breathing due to the defects in the structure of the nose. However, it can be corrected with this procedure.

The surgical procedure performed on the eyelids is medically known as blepharoplasty. This procedure can be carried out on both the eyelids or any one of them. This process is also used to treat loose or puffy skin. This is also performed to correct the drooping skin in the surrounding area.

Tummy tucks are also a popular cosmetic surgery performed today. The tummy tuck process is medically termed as abdominoplasty. In this procedure, the loose skin around the abdomen is removed to create a slimmer and firmer appearance. Similar to liposuction, tummy tuck is not a surgical process that can help obese people. However, this surgical procedure is used on people that have fat in their torsos due to fluctuations in weight, genetics, or pregnancy.

Botulinum toxin type A or Botox is the most commonly used non invasive cosmetic procedure. In this procedure, Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport can be used to enhance certain features. Such products are injected via a syringe into the body. They are injected mostly around the neck or face to manage wrinkles. These products block nerve signals and cause the muscle to freeze in place. This stops the muscles from moving, reducing wrinkles.
