What Types Of Plastic Surgery Are Available?
With today's modern medicine and surgical advancement there has been an explosion in the plastic surgery market. From simple nose procedures all the way to complete body contouring, if there is something that you want to change about your body there is probably a surgery you can have done to fix it. There are literally dozens upon dozens of different procedures available for plastic surgery. Some of them are actually quite common.
Facial cosmetic surgeries are extremely common and are probably the most requested. Pretty much everyone can find something that they do not like about their own face. Typical procedures in this category include chin shaping, cheek contouring, work around the eyes and reshaping the mouth. However the most common facial surgery that plastic surgeons perform are nose jobs, known as rhinoplasty. This surgery reshapes a person's nose. It is common performed as a purely cosmetic surgery, but is also done to correct issues with snoring and in the case of injury.
Body contouring in general is another very typical cosmetic procedure that people go under the knife for. Body contouring refers to a broad range of different procedures. For example a "tummy tuck" where a person has excess skin removed and the stomach pulled tight in order to get a nice flat tummy. Breast enlargement surgeries are an extremely popular type of body shaping surgery that is commonly performed and probably the most common. In fact the number of people electing to have breast augmentation surgery increases every year.
Anti-aging medicine and surgeries are probably the fastest growing area of the cosmetic surgery world. New procedures are being developed every year to treat the effects that aging has on the body. Take the facelift as an example. This is a procedure that has been performed for years. The goal of the procedures is to restore a more youthful shape to a face and to ease away wrinkles. Other procedures like the "vampire facelift" aim at not only improving the shape of ones face with surgical restructuring, but also uses blood to restore a youthful glow and replace lost collagen. Other treatments aimed at combating age are chemical peels and laser treatments.
The final type of plastic surgery I want to talk about are surgeries designed to help a person reduce the fat on their body. The common example of this surgery type would be a liposuction. This is a procedure where an incision is made in the area where the fat is going to be removed. A tube is inserted through the incision and it literally sucks the fat out of the person. Depending on how much fat is removed from a patient it is common for liposuction to be followed up by procedures with remove excess skin otherwise the patient is left with massive flaps of skin hanging down.
Please keep in mind that if you are thinking about going under the knife you should have a consultation with your doctor to assess your current physical condition.
