Cosmetic surgery is an exciting, cutting edge field that is about one thing: making people look and feel better about themselves. Advances in both surgical and non-surgical techniques are being made regularly, which gives patients more options for getting the look they want, at a price that is affordable. Below is a list of some of the hottest procedures being performed today.
Mommy Makeover
While pregnancy is a joy for most women, it can lead to changes in the body which are undesirable. The mommy makeover is actually a collection of surgical procedures which enhance the woman’s body, and includes liposuction, a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. However, it is important to note that some women should not get a mommy makeover immediately after pregnancy, and should instead wait a few years until their child is older. In addition to treating the stomach and breasts, scarring and stretch marks can also be removed.
The Brazilian Butt Lift
This procedure is named after Brazilian women, who have become the envy of many non-Brazilian women due to their naturally round, full buttocks. This cosmetic procedure has become wildly popular in the U.S. and Europe, and consists of fat being taken from one area of the body through liposuction, and then being transplanted into the buttocks so they appear more round and full.
In the past, silicone was the most popular material for butt implants, but the Brazilian butt lift is more popular because it uses fat from other areas of the patient’s body in order to augment the buttocks. Silicone buttock enhancement makes use of prosthesis, and causes more pain, scarring and a greater risk of infection. With the Brazilian butt lift, this fat will be extracted from the lower back. This procedure is popular not only because of the way it shapes the butt and hips, but also because it leaves very little scarring. Also, in addition to enlarging the buttocks, it is also possible for a woman to have her buttocks reduced in size if she so desires.
Non-Surgical Fillers
The aging process results in a loss of volume to the face, which makes it appear hollow and saggy. Non-surgical fillers have become one of the most popular methods for correcting this by creating volume in the face, cheeks, lips and other places, and provide a younger healthier look without the need for surgery.
Neck Liposuction
This procedure has become popular due to its ability to get rid of the infamous “double chin” that some people experience. This procedure results in a neck and face that is younger and slimmer, and it does this by sculpting the body in a manner that removes fat from areas which are unwanted.
Male Plastic Surgery
Many people believe in the stereotype that plastic surgery is only for women, but this isn’t true. Men want to look good as well, and a growing number are turning to cosmetic surgery to give themselves a strong, masculine look. One of the most popular of these surgical methods is male breast reduction, but there are many other types that are gaining popularity around the world too.
