What is cosmetic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is the broad term for operations that change a person’s appearance. Cosmetic procedures may involve removing or altering skin, suctioning fat, or inserting artificial implants.

What are the different types of cosmetic surgery?

The following includes some of the most common cosmetic surgeries:

  • Breast augmentation
  • Facelift
  • Rhinoplasty (reshaping of the nose)
  • Liposuction (removal of fat tissue)
  • Tummy tuck
  • Eyelid surgery
  • Breast reduction
  • Otoplasty (pinning or reshaping of the ears)

Who is a candidate for cosmetic surgery?

People considering cosmetic surgery should evaluate themselves according to certain criteria. First and foremost, perspective patients should have a clear understanding of the surgical procedure they are considering. Cosmetic surgeries correct specific imperfections; patients should be able to recognize these imperfections and envision how they will be corrected. Doing so helps patients form reasonable expectations. Additionally, anyone considering cosmetic surgery should be physically fit. Statistics show that patients heal fastest and achieve the best results from a procedure when they are in good physical condition.
