Cosmetic Surgeries
What is Cosmetic Surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is a procedure where a person chooses to have an operation to change their physical appearance for cosmetic rather than medical reasons.
What are the different types of cosmetic surgery?
There are different types of cosmetic surgery:
- Breast surgery: Many women go for breast surgery to improve their body shape. Breast surgery include:
A. Breast augmentation: Many women who have small breast sizes go for breast augmentation.
B. Breast reduction: Women who feel that their breasts are too large in size go for breast reduction procedures.
C. Breast lift:Women who have sagging breasts go for a breast lift procedure.
D. Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia is treated when the men have an enlargement of the mammary tissue.
- Liposuction: Liposuction is used to vacuum fat from various parts of the body, usually the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, backs of the arms, and neck.
- Vulvovaginal surgery: Labiaplasty or labial reduction involves surgery of the labia majora or labia minora of the vulva, a part of the female genitalia. It aims to reduce elongated labia, usually as part of a vaginoplasty.
- Body procedures: Excess fat is removed from the middle and lower abdomen known as abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, with the aim of tightening the muscle of the abdominal wall.
- Peels, Fillers, Grafts, and Laser treatment: Less invasive procedures may include peels, fillers, injections, grafting, and laser treatment.
