The Most Popular Type of Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is a kind of plastic surgery aimed at
improving the appearance of a person, but it should be approached with caution.
For almost any part of the body, procedures are available, but choosing
cosmetic surgery should not be taken lightly. Often the results are permanent,
so it is important to be sure of the decision, use a suitable practitioner, and
have the right motivation.
A surgeon may refer a patient to surgery for
counselling if they believe that there is an underlying problem that can not be
resolved through the operation.
Another type of plastic operation is reconstructive
surgery. It aims at improving function and giving a normal appearance to a
damaged part of the person's body.
How does cosmetic and plastic surgery differ?
If you've always thought one thing about
cosmetic and plastic, you're not alone. A significant number of plastic
surgeons choose to concentrate their practise on cosmetic, and the terms are
often used interchangeably as such. Technically, however, this is not correct.
Cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are specialities that are closely related,
but not the same.
While cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are
both concerned with improving the body of a patient, the overarching
philosophies of training, research, and patient outcome goals are different.
Cosmetic surgery: focused on the improvement
of the appearance
It is possible to perform cosmetic surgery on
all areas of the head, neck, and body. Due to the proper functioning of the
treated areas, the cosmetic operation is elective. Doctors from a variety of medical
fields, including plastic surgeons, perform cosmetic surgery.
The scope of cosmetic operations includes:
- Breast Enhancement:
Augmentation, Lift, Reduction
- Body Contouring:
Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Gynecomastia Treatment
- Facial Rejuvenation:
Facelift, Eyelid Lift, Neck Lift, Brow Lift
- Skin Rejuvenation:
Laser Resurfacing, Botox, Filler Treatments
- Facial Contouring:
Rhinoplasty, Chin, or Cheek Enhancement
Plastic Surgery: Focused on repairing defects
in order to reconstruct a normal function.
In order to correct the dysfunctional areas of
the body, plastic surgery is reconstructive in nature. While many plastic
surgeons choose to complete additional training as well as perform cosmetic
surgery, reconstructive plastic surgery remains the basis of their surgical
training.
Examples of procedures for plastic surgery:
- Scar Revision Surgery
- Burn Repair Surgery
- Breast Reconstruction
- Hand Surgery
Other procedures for contouring the body:
Buttock increase enhances the buttocks
appearance by making them larger. Using liposuction, either the surgeon will
graft fat from another part of the patient's body.
To tighten and lift them, a buttock lift or
lower body lift involves removing excess skin from the hips, buttocks, and
thighs.
Facial cosmetic surgery:
The purpose of a blepharoplasty is to reshape
the eyelids. With age, the skin becomes lax, and the upper lids and bags on the
lower lids may drop or hood. It may be functional, cosmetic or both for eyelid
surgery. It usually involves removing or repositioning excess skin, fat and may
strengthen the muscles and tendons around it.
A brow lift, browplasty, or front lift is designed to remove signs of
ageing by raising drooping eyebrows and removing wrinkles or worry lines from
the forehead. A more harmonious facial appearance is often achieved in
conjunction with other cosmetic procedures.
Chin augmentation is aimed at making the chin more
prominent and providing a better balance of facial characteristics. It can be
done simultaneously with rhinoplasty, depending on the pre-operative
measurements. It can be done with a prosthetic implant or by manipulating the
chin bone
Selecting a surgeon :
It is important to choose a surgeon who is
qualified and accredited by a professional board, such as the Dr. Priyadarshan Plastic and Cosmetic Centre in Bangalore
