Nowadays, people are more interested in enhancing or maintaining their body and face contours as compared to the past. People undertake plastic surgery in order to get rid of scars, or skin defects, or a deformation resulting from a trauma or accident, or due to a reconstructive purpose to enhance their appearance. Plastic surgery procedures are becoming more common with every passing day. Both men and women are equally opting for it as they are less expensive now, and with improving technology, the impact of the surgery has also became minimal. Some of the most common plastic surgery procedures that are being chosen by people are discussed below:
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is often done on patients suffering from a partial or complete mastectomy. The breast is reconstructed through a DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap method, in which the abdomen's DIEP’s skin tissues, fat and blood vessels are transferred to the chest, where they are connected to the existing blood vessels of the chest.
Liposuction
Liposuction is carried out on overweight people to remove extra fat from their body. The surgeon uses cannulas to suck out the extra flab of fat from the desired area. Liposuction is usually performed to have a flat abdomen, but it can also be performed on the buttocks, thighs or neck areas to remove excessive fat.
Skin Grafting
Skin grafting procedures are usually done on burn victims. The burned skin is replaced by skin taken from the other body areas. The transplanted skin is layered on the burned skin through stitches and the surgeon ensures that it remains smoothly and closely attached to wounded site.
Lip Implants
A lip implant is a reconstructive surgery that people opt to have to get fuller and voluptuous lips. Lip implants are also done to rectify any deformity in the lips. Gore-Tex material is used to fill the lips to make them look plump and full.
Rhinoplasty
By having rhinoplasty, the appearance or function of the nose can be improved. The size, width, shape and alignment of the nose can be corrected by the surgery. Nasal problems, like breathing issues or sinuses can also be treated by rhinoplasty.
Sclerotheraphy
Sclerotheraphy is used to treat spider veins that are a result of weight gain, pregnancy, or heredity. A sclerosing solution is injected that collapses the veins and hides them from view.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing surgery is used to treat acne scars, wrinkles, laugh lines or aging lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty is a surgery for the ears. Patients who have deformed ears, or have large ears, may undergo Otoplasty to have the skin or cartilage of the ear repositioned to bring the ear in proper proportion with the head.
Mastopexy
Mastopexy is a surgery performed on sagging breasts to raise or reshape them. In mastopexy, the extra skin of the breasts is removed to lift them up by repositioning the nipples and tissues.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is basically an eyelid surgery. With aging, or due to some type of accident, the eyelids drop and sag over the eyes, or bags are formed below the eyes. Blepharoplasty is done to get rid of the problem by removing the muscle, skin, or extra fat around the eye.
