General and Elective Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic or plastic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at enhancing or altering a person’s appearance, image and look. These procedures can be performed on various parts of the body, and they can be both surgical and non-surgical. Here are some common types of cosmetic surgery:

1. Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job): A surgery to reshape or resize the nose, improving both its appearance and function.
Facelift (Rhytidectomy): A surgical procedure that tightens the skin on the face to reduce sagging and wrinkles, giving a more youthful appearance.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Involves removing excess skin or fat from the upper or lower eyelids to improve appearance and vision.
Brow Lift: A procedure to lift the brow and smooth forehead wrinkles, often making a person look less tired or stressed.
Chin Augmentation: Surgery to alter the shape or size of the chin, often through implants or reshaping.
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery): This surgery corrects protruding ears by reshaping or repositioning the ears.

2. Body Cosmetic Surgery

Liposuction: A procedure that removes excess fat from various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, to reshape and contour the body.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, often after weight loss or pregnancy, and tightens the abdominal muscles.
Breast Augmentation: Involves inserting implants to increase breast size or enhance their shape. There’s also breast lift surgery (mastopexy), which raises and firms the breasts.
Breast Reduction: Reduces the size of overly large breasts, which can relieve physical discomfort and improve appearance.
Gynecomastia Surgery: A procedure for men to reduce enlarged breast tissue, restoring a flatter chest appearance.
Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift or Implants): Enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using fat transfer or implants.
Body Lift: A procedure that tightens and lifts the body after significant weight loss, especially in the stomach, thighs, and arms.

3. Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Botox and Dysport: Injections that temporarily paralyze muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, especially in the forehead and around the eyes.
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to restore volume to the face, such as in the cheeks, lips, or under-eye area.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Uses lasers to reduce wrinkles, scars, and skin imperfections by removing the top layers of skin.
Chemical Peels: Uses chemicals to exfoliate the skin and improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation.
Microdermabrasion: A minimally invasive procedure that exfoliates the outer layer of skin to reveal smoother, healthier skin.
CoolSculpting: A non-invasive fat reduction procedure that freezes and eliminates fat cells without surgery.

4. Hair Restoration Surgery

Hair Transplant: A surgical procedure where hair follicles are removed from one part of the scalp and transplanted to thinning or bald areas.
Scalp Reduction: Removes areas of bald scalp and pulls together the surrounding hair-bearing skin to reduce baldness.

5. Genital Cosmetic Surgery

Labiaplasty: A procedure to reduce or reshape the labia for aesthetic or functional reasons.
Vaginoplasty: Tightens the vaginal canal and is often done after childbirth or as part of gender affirmation surgery.

6. Reconstructive Cosmetic Surgery

While technically different from purely aesthetic cosmetic surgery, reconstructive procedures are also a part of the cosmetic field. These surgeries aim to restore form and function after injury, illness, or congenital abnormalities. Common procedures include Breast Reconstruction: Often after mastectomy for cancer treatment.
Skin Grafts: Used to treat burns or extensive skin damage.
Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery: Corrects congenital defects in the lip and palate.
