The American Society of Plastic Surgeons confirms that more and more individuals seek plastic surgery services to delay or counter the changes to their bodies. Knowing the most effective and popular plastic surgery services can help you decide which ones can help you the most. Here is a short guide to provide you with the details.
Botox
These injections relax facial muscles. They smoothen out your wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance. This type of plastic surgery service needs an experienced provider. The type of Botox injection that you get will depend on your needs. It can help your treatment to tell your provider if you are taking blood thinners. Your provider may tell you to stop taking them so that you can reduce your risk of bruising or bleeding.
Facelift
Also known as rhytidectomy, a facelift removes excess fat in the facial area. The process stretches your facial skin and tightens your facial muscles. It will leave you with firmer and smoother facial skin. Your doctor will separate the muscle and fat from your skin. After removing the fat, your skin will be pulled back into its proper place. Your doctor will remove excess skin as well.
Nasal Surgery
This type of surgery can improve the inside or outside of your nose. Many factors can cause airflow issues. Some of them can go away because of antihistamine sprays, for example. Surgery is often a last resort if medications are not enough to correct the airway problem.
Liposuction
Many people get liposuction because of the stubborn fat deposits in their bodies. But experts will tell you it is not a way to lose weight. Instead, it aims to improve your body’s general shape. Studies indicate that the stomach, breasts, and thighs are the common target areas in women. This type of plastic surgery can be good for men dealing with gynecomastia. Good candidates for liposuction are the following:
- Those who have realistic expectations.
- Those with normal weight or a little overweight.
- Those who have elastic and firm skin.
Tummy Tuck
This type of plastic surgery is also known as abdominoplasty. It targets your abdominal areas. Your doctor will remove excess skin and fat. You can be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if you have good general health. It’s also for you if you have a large amount of loose skin or abdominal fat deposits.
Vein Removal
Your doctor will perform this procedure if other treatments for damaged veins do not improve the situation. The surgery will remove your damaged veins to prevent complications and reduce symptoms. Then, your doctor will treat the root cause of your varicose vein. Stripping and ligation can treat your large varicose veins. Sclerotherapy can target smaller ones.
Eyelid Surgery
This is also known as blepharoplasty. It can reduce sagging in your lower eyelids and vision impairment resulting from your upper eyelids blocking your eyesight. It can also remove underlying fat and excess skin from your eyelids. But it does not remove crow’s feet or dark circles. Your doctor can combine blepharoplasty with other facial surgeries, such as brow lifts or laser resurfacing.
Breast Augmentation
You may know this type of plastic surgery as augmentation mammoplasty. Its goal is to increase your breast size. Your doctor will place breast implants under your chest muscles or breast tissue. Most women get this surgery to gain more confidence. Others want to rebuild their breasts for medical conditions.
In some cases, this procedure can correct errors from a previous breast augmentation. You must seek an experienced surgeon for this procedure. Understanding what it entails can help you form realistic expectations. Understanding more about the most popular plastic surgery services can help you decide which of them can help you the most.
