Popular Plastic SurgeryPlastic surgery has become an accepted and even popular aspect to our culture. People of every walk of life, not just those who are famous and rich, have plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery done. In the year 2002, over 6.5 million people in the United States underwent some type of plastic surgery, according to a report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.One of the reasons for the increasing popularity of plastic surgery is the technological advances and improvement of surgical procedures. For example, by using computer imaging, a person can visit the plastic surgeon before the process and see what she is likely to look like after the procedure. Not all surgeons offer computer images, but it is certainly the wave of the future. Most surgeons can show before and after photographs which portray what they've been able to accomplish with other patients. Currently the five most popular procedures done in plastic or cosmetic surgery include rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, eyelid surgery and face lift. RHINOPLASTY Many people are extremely self conscious about the appearance of their nose. The nose may be asymmetrical, prominent, bumpy, or undesirable and rhinoplasty or nose surgery can improve not only the appearance, but often the function as well. BREAST AUGMENTATION Many women are unhappy with the small size of their breasts, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. These women seek to have the breasts increased in size through the use of soft natural appearing material which is placed in a pocket under the breast tissue. Every attempt is made to maintain a natural look as well as to protect from danger of infection or reactions to the implant material. LIPOSUCTION Liposuction is the procedure of recontouring the body by removing fat deposits from beneath the skin of the abdomen. Fat tends to accumulate in this area. Even after significant weight loss, many people find themselves discouraged over the unsightly tummy bulge which remains. Liposuction inserts a slender tube into the area and uses suction to break up and suction out fatty tissue and deposits. EYELID SURGERY This is one of the most commonly performed procedures. It removes fatty deposits, drooping, loose skin and aging wrinkles from the upper eyelid. These effects are often the result of heredity or sun damage. This procedure is often done at the same time as other procedures, such as work on the lower eyelid, a face lift, or forehead lift. Laser treatment may be done at the same time to smooth rough skin and wrinkles. If the drooping of the eyelid is pronounced or interferes with the vision, this process is usually eligible for insurance coverage. Regardless of the type of cosmetic surgery which is performed, it's important to make sure the surgeon is board certified and experienced in the procedure. In addition, the medical facility where the surgery is performed should have impeccable standards of safety and sound medical practices. You should always have a clear understanding of what the procedure is, how it will be performed, what results you can expect, and what your expectations are for pain or discomfort after the |
