What Is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery includes surgical procedures that enhance and reshape structures of the face and body to improve individual appearance and confidence. There are three main types of plastic surgery, face surgery, breast surgery, and body contouring.
Face Surgery. Aging and gravity combined, can cause the facial skin to sag, appear less youthful, and become more susceptible to sun damage. A person’s face usually shows the first signs of aging. A face lift can reverse poor lifestyle habits such as smoking, excessive drinking, and sun exposure. Over time, the signs of aging will present on the face through crow’s feet, forehead creases, and nasolabial folds.
Breast Surgery. Many women decide to have breast surgery because of asymmetrical breasts, gravity and age, or wanting to feel more confident after having children. A breast lift is usually chosen by women after pregnancy and child care. While a breast augmentation can provide fullness and evenness to the chest. Lastly, a breast reduction is opted for by women experiencing back pain from their chest size.
Body Contouring. To achieve symmetry and proportion, body contouring can be used to sculpt a beautiful figure. Body contouring procedures are the next step after significant weight loss. These procedures aim to remove excess skin which has lost its elasticity and improve the shape of the existing tissue. Body sculpting surgery can reshape many areas of the body, including arms, stomach, thighs, and buttocks.
