Top 10 Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
10.
Tummy tuck
Abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck involves
the removal of excess skin and fat from the
abdomen.
When the excess fat and skin are removed,
the skin is stretched tight over the stomach,
resulting in an impressively flat abdomen.
Abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction
and other fat removal surgeries.
The full abdominoplasty is a procedure that
lasts for about three hours.
Two long incisions are made, one along the
public bone and the other that frees your
belly button from the surrounding tissue.
The stomach muscles are tightened and excess
fat and skin are removed, thus flattening
the tummy.

Liposuction
Liposuction is process in which stubborn fat
deposits are removed from specific body areas,
such as the stomach, thighs, chest and hips.
Liposuction works best for patients who have
stubborn fat deposits that they are not able
to remove through diet and exercise alone.
Fat is removed by inserting small thin tubes
under the fat layer, which are connected to
a large vacuum pump or suction syringe.
Fluid is injected into the areas from which
fat is to be removed; this helps to prevent
blood loss.
Liposuction can be performed on several areas
of the body at once.
8.
Brow lift
A brow lift involves lifting the forehead
skin to remove some of the tissue and muscle
that lie under the skin to re-contour the
face.
People whose appearance is compromised because
of drooping eyebrows, loose forehead or fatty
eyebrows can opt for this procedure.
Four incisions are made behind the patient’s
hairline and tiny cameras called endoscopes
are inserted to identify the tissues and muscles
that need to be removed.
This procedure takes close to two hours to
complete.
7.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation involves the creation of
a more proportionate face and a firmer chin
line, using chin implants.
An incision is made above the chin bone, and
a chin implant is placed in the pocket that
is created.
The procedure takes about two hours to complete.
6.
Nose Reshaping
Rhinoplasty involves reshaping the cartilage,
bones and sometimes the soft nasal tissues
of the nose.
The nose size can be increased or reduced,
and the nasal tip can be altered and unsightly
bumps can be removed to make the nose straight
and narrow.
Functionally, nose jobs are performed to remove
blockages or to correct a deformity, and to
help a patient breathe better.
However, for the most part, nose jobs are
undertaken purely for aesthetic purposes.
5.
Eyelid Lift
In this procedure, excess skin, fat and muscle
are removed from the lower and upper eyelids.
The procedure reduces the puffy look and eyelid
drooping and creates a more attractive appearance.
If you have eye bags due to ageing, genetic
factors, sun exposure, pollution and other
environmental factors, you can opt for this
procedure.
4.
Face lift And Neck Lift
Rhytidectomy or facelift surgery involves
removing excess skin from the face, neck and
cheeks.
The skin is lifted and re-draped tightly over
the facial bones.
The objective of this procedure is to make
the patient look younger.
3.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction involves reducing the breast
size in women.
Women whose heavy breasts cause severe backache
and other physical issues opt for this procedure,
which is also known as mammaplasty.
The procedure involves removing breast tissue,
fat and skin, and moving the nipples and other
tissues higher up on the chest.
The sides of the breasts are trimmed down
to form smaller globes around the areola,
giving the breasts a smaller contour.
2.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is used to lift and firm
the breasts, without increasing the size of
the breasts.
Also called mastopexy, this procedure usually
performed to correct sagging or drooping breasts,
which can occur owing to childbirth, breastfeeding
and ageing.
One or more incisions are made to lift the
breast tissue and skin and reshape them higher
on the chest to restore firmness and elasticity.
1.
Breast Augmentation
In this procedure, medical implants usually
made of silicone are inserted in the crease
underneath the breasts to increase the bust
size.
These implants are made of silicone rubber
shell filled either with silicone gel or saline
solution.
The implants can be inserted under the breasts,
through the armpits, or near the areola.
