What is Cosmetic Surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is a special medical branch, which is concerned with correction, reconstruction and restoration of features, functions and forms of a human body. Cosmetic surgery is also known as plastic surgery. There are two main fields in this medical branch: reconstruction surgery and body modification surgery.
Common Cosmetic Surgeries:
Following are some of the common cosmetic or plastic surgeries that have become very popular in recent times amongst women.
* Lip Augmentation: Full and kissable lips have always been associated with beauty. Lips form an important part of a human face. They are present on both sides of the face and are associated with smile, which defines beauty. To get more fuller and liquid lips surgeons use autologen, collagen,dermalogen, radiance, etc. from the patient's skin and inject them in the lips to give them a fuller and luscious look. This process is called lip augmentation surgery.
Two types of processes are commonly used for performing this cosmetic surgery, depending upon the patient's needs and medical conditions:
1. Restylane: this process uses a clear gel, which is non-animal gel. This gel is injected in the lips of the patient.
2. Fat transfer: In this process fat, from areas where there is excess deposit of fat like thighs, is taken, generally through excision or liposuction. This fat is either injected or surgically placed into the patient's lips.
* Breast Augmentation: Fuller and round breasts have always been considered important assets, concerning a woman's beauty. Round and sturdy breasts are a dream possession for every woman. Thus, women who have small breasts, drooping breasts or women whose breast have been altered due to cancer or surgeries can now turn towards breast implants to achieve perfect looking and desirable twin assets.
Breast augmentation surgeries are used to modify the shape and size of the mammary glands in women. However, these are also used in men in few cases. Saline implants. Silicon gel implants, sac, etc. are surgically placed in the mammary glands in these surgeries.
* Laser Resurfacing: This is a laser surgery used for treating wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, spider veins, sun damage, etc. This surgery is commonly used by both men and women, and is also used after cosmetic surgeries like liposuction, etc. after such surgeries excess fat is removed from the body which can leave stretch marks on the body.
These surgeries are used for improving looks, appearances and to modify or reconstruct certain body areas and to cover up body flaws. All the above mentioned surgeries have become extremely popular and common these days.
