Cosmetic procedures are a go-to for both men and women who want to look and feel their best. As cosmetic procedures become increasingly popular, deciding which procedure may be right for you can be confusing. The first step in transforming your body and confidence with plastic surgery is to understand the options.
Here are the 13 most common cosmetic procedures so that you can decide which may be right for you.
Common Cosmetic Procedures
Breast Augmentation: Breast augmentation aims to restore breast volume and size. The procedure can be done using a fat transfer method, where fat is taken from another place in the body and transferred to the breasts. It can also be done with silicone or saline implants. Breast augmentation can enhance breast shape and size. It can also boost your confidence, helping you feel your best.
Breast Lift: A breast lift raises and firms the breasts to change their shape. Unlike a breast augmentation, a breast lift does not significantly change cup size. Instead, it makes the breast appear more shapely and lifted after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations have left them sagging and shapeless.
Breast Reduction: Large breasts that are disproportionate to your body size can lead to both physical and emotional consequences. A breast reduction can help reduce the size of the breasts and reshape them by removing excess fat, tissue, and skin. Reducing the size of large, disproportionate breasts can help many women. They may have less neck and back pain, be more active, and fit their clothes better.
Breast Reconstruction: After a lumpectomy or mastectomy to remove cancer from the breasts, the breast size, shape, and appearance can be altered. Breast reconstruction aims to restore the appearance of the breasts. It can help women move past their cancer diagnosis and look like they did before their diagnosis. Breast reconstruction can be done by using fat tissue from the abdomen, back, or buttocks. It can also be done with implants.
Tummy Tuck: A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure that flattens and shapes the abdominal area by removing excess fat and skin. It can also tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles, remove stretch marks, and reposition the belly button to achieve a sleek and smooth tummy.
Liposuction: Liposuction is a great way to contour the body. It removes excess fat so that you can boost your self-confidence and fit into your clothing better. Liposuction can be performed on just about any area of the body. It’s often done alongside other cosmetic procedures like a tummy tuck or breast reduction to achieve the best results.
Mommy Makeover: Every mommy makeover is unique to your body and aesthetic goals. The procedure combines surgeries like breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, and liposuction. It aims to tighten and tone your body to your pre-pregnancy shape.
Arm Lift: An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm area to achieve a more toned and contoured look that is more proportionate to the rest of your body.
Lower Body Lift: A lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, reshapes the midsection and lower body. It tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen, thighs, back, and buttocks. It can be an excellent option for those looking to shape their abdominal, buttock, and thigh areas.
Facelift: If you’re looking for a way to turn back the clock and reduce the signs of aging, a facelift is for you. A facelift can help you achieve a more youthful facial contour by removing excess skin from the face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, eliminate sagging jowls, or eliminate a double chin.
Eyelid Surgery: Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, aims to reduce sagging around the upper and lower eye by tightening weakened muscles and removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. This procedure is not only for cosmetic reasons but can also improve an impaired field of vision by sagging eyelids.
Otoplasty: Otoplasty or ear pinning can change the ear’s structure to provide a more proportionate and symmetrical appearance. This procedure can alter the shape, size, and position of the ears for both cosmetic and medical reasons.
Pectoral Implants: Pectoral implants can be the answer for men who have found that working out has not been enough. They are made of soft silicone and placed under the pectoral muscles to increase the fullness and projection of the chest while also boosting your confidence, with or without your shirt.
