The 3 Most Common Types of Cosmetic Surgery
Nobody is physically perfect, yet we can all bring out the best of ourselves. The advancements in science have claimed praises and criticisms from all sectors of society. Among these technological changes are cosmetic surgeries. Their evolution from sources of embarrassment to reasons for self esteem is truly sensational.
Different parts of the body need different procedures. This article will explain the pros and cons surrounding the three most practiced types of cosmetic surgery.
Facial Cosmetic Surgery
The face is what catches the people’s attention. Women spend hundreds to thousands every year on several beauty products, ranging from creams to make-up.
Those who use their faces as an investment need more than just superb collections of cosmetics; they need to be beautiful even without the make-up. Thus, TV personalities look for derma-clinics and surgeons who are capable of removing years off their features.
Facial cosmetic surgery uses an implant to alter a person’s facial contours. Sometimes reduction is made especially around the cheeks. Facial cosmetic surgery types vary from face-lifts, forehead lifts, rhinoplasty and ear procedures to the smaller eye enhancement procedures.
One of the most recommended means of choosing a surgeon to conduct this procedure is by looking at the before/after photos of previous clients. To the experienced, it becomes easy to note those pictures that have been “photoshopped” and those that are genuine.
Since this procedure takes a minimum of four weeks recovery time, patients would have to stay indoors and be extra careful with their every action.
Frequent touching of the operated area would hurt and might result to some stitches getting loose.
Novice surgeons might demand less costly fees but their results might make your face look unnatural. It’s always wise to find an experienced surgeon, but if you find their fees unacceptable, you could always try looking abroad.
Breast Enhancement
The breasts of a woman usually keep a man’s attention longer than the face does. With breast augmentations, a surgeon reconstructs the breasts to make them look bigger and/or adjust the shape. This type of cosmetic surgery are normally done for women who used to breastfeed or those with naturally-occurring sagging breasts. Surgery normally takes about two hours, depending on the efficiency of your surgeon. The wounds heal at around one to two weeks from that date of the surgery.
If you’re looking for the most affordable implants, you should know that cheap implants have a higher percentage of bursting and/or leaking, thereby requiring another surgery to fix the problem. A new solution to this problem are cohesive gel implants, which are less costly than silicone, but do not leak when the shell is broken.
Implants last for a maximum of ten years. Failure to change the implants after the prescribed time span might result in complications. If they were removed and the patient no longer has the resources to have new ones put in, dimples and wrinkling as well as other skin imperfections may be noted.
Liposuction
As people age, fat deposits start showing up in all the wrong places. The clothes we used to fit in perfectly might make us look awful. This is why diet pill companies and gyms are getting an increasing number of clients every year.
These methods take a long time before visible results are seen. Liposuction has become the most sought after alternative. Statistics reveal that liposuction is actually the most commonly performed surgery in the United States. There are different kinds of liposuction suitable to any area of the body.
- Lipoplasty is a sculpting technique which targets parts of the human body that do not respond well to diet pills and exercise. Examples are the buttocks, arms, legs and abdomen.
- Facial liposuction tightens the skin after excess fats have been removed. The good news is: the procedure only takes an hour but the result is permanent.
- The most popular form of liposuction is the stomach liposuction. It has replaced the infamous “tummy tuck,” because of great results with less side effects.
- Breast liposuction targets the excess fats that make the breasts look larger than wanted. This process is better than a breast reduction technique because it is less invasive and leaves no scar.
- Chin liposuction gets rid of those double chins.
There are some downsides associated with liposuction though. I wouldn’t feel right not to inform you of them, so here they are:
- The ultrasonic method of liposuction results in skin problems or burns because it uses ultrasonic waves to help burst fats and reduce the possibility of future exaggerated fat deposits.
- Strict adherence to soft food diet is required following a facial liposuction to prevent complications.
- Gaining weight after a liposuction creates skin dimples that would require fat injections. Thus, it becomes a must to maintain the body figure after a liposuction.
- Chills are commonly recorded preceding a liposuction procedure.
I hope this article has sufficiently informed you of these three different types of plastic surgery. There are other cosmetic surgery procedures that are utilized to correct physical deformities and/or to improve a person’s physique, but these are the most common ones.
