What Is Cosmetic Surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is a specialized branch in the field of aesthetic surgery that deals with the enhancement of the body’s appearance with surgery. It can undergo facial reconstruction or body contouring to achieve long lasting results.
The reason why people opt for cosmetic surgery is:
- Improve facial harmony
- Enhance body proportions
- Start to reverse outward signs of aging
- Correct features they have not liked for years
- Restore confidence after pregnancy or a major weight loss
What Is Aesthetic Surgery?
Aesthetic surgery is a surgery that is only performed to enhance appearance. It consists of facial, breast and body treatments which help clients achieve cosmetic outcomes and preserve their natural proportions.
How Is Cosmetic Surgery Different From Reconstructive Surgery?
Although many people use these terms interchangeably, they are different.
Cosmetic surgery is cosmetic surgery that is done for elective reasons to improve appearance. Reconstructive surgery restores function or appearance following trauma, burns, congenital conditions or disease. Cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery are both considered plastic surgery.
Cosmetic Surgery vs Plastic Surgery
| Cosmetic Surgery | Plastic Surgery |
| Focuses on improving appearance | Includes cosmetic and reconstructive procedures |
| Elective procedures | Can restore both function and appearance |
| Enhances facial and body aesthetics | Treats congenital defects, trauma and cosmetic concerns |
| Performed to improve confidence | Performed for both medical and cosmetic reasons |
Why Do People Choose Cosmetic Surgery?
Although each individual’s reason is unique, most cosmetic operations focus on one or more of the following common concerns.
-
Facial Rejuvenation
The signs of aging on the face are wrinkles, skin sagging, loss of volume and collagen production. Cosmetic surgery brings youthful facial contours back without compromising on natural facial expressions.
-
Body Contouring
Stubborn fat deposits and excess skin can sometimes only be removed by diet and exercise. Body contouring surgery restores the body’s shape by eliminating excess fat and pulling skin tight.
-
Age-Related Changes
Collagen and elastin decreases causing facial tissues to sink and skin on the body to be less elastic. Cosmetic surgery addresses these structural changes more effectively than topical skincare.
-
Post-Weight Loss Body Changes
When a person has lost a lot of weight, there may be an excess of skin around the abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. The abdominal bandage is removed and the shape of the body is improved when the skin is removed as a result of the surgery.
-
Congenital Facial Features
Others have cosmetic surgery to improve their facial features that may have been developed during birth such as the shape of their nose, nose size or the shape of their jawline.
-
Confidence and Self-Image
Feeling comfortable in one’s own skin has a positive impact on patients’ self confidence in their own personal and professional lives which is why many patients opt for cosmetic surgery.
Facial Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
The facial cosmetic surgery treatments we provide aim to enhance the harmony of your face without altering your appearance.
Rhinoplasty
Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) restores or improves nose function and a more balanced face. The method can be used to sharpen or smooth the bridge, tip, nostrils or general shape of the nose for a natural look.
Facelift Surgery
A facelift tightens and supports loose skin of the face, softens fine lines around the eyes and cheeks, and helps to rejuvenate the face. It treats the visible symptoms of aging rather than skin tightening, by tightening underlying tissues.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct sagging eyelids and eliminate fatty deposits and excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids to give the eyes a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Brow Lift
A brow lift will lift any sagging brows and makes the forehead lines more imperceptible, giving a more youthful appearance. It will also help enhance the look of heavy brows that can cause the eyes to appear tired or aged.
Chin Implant
Augmentation of the chin line provides an increase to the projection of the chin for a more balanced facial profile. Adds more contour to the jawline and balances other facial features to create a more harmonious look.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal will help to create a slimmer, more sculpted facial silhouette by removing the fullness in the lower cheeks. The process emphasizes the cheekbones and adds to the facial contours.
Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer involves providing your face with additional fullness by using pure fat that is removed from another site in the body. It makes hollows soft and at the same time gives natural looking and permanent facial rejuvenation.
Cheek Augmentation
It adds volume and contour to the cheeks to help balance and define the face. It results in a more youthful, lifted appearance using implants or fat transfer depending on which treatment is given.
Body Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
Liposuction
Liposuction is used to get rid of stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back and chin. It helps to develop better proportions and body contours without the need to sacrifice a healthy lifestyle.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The tummy tuck procedure can not only tighten and strengthen weak or separated abdominal muscles, it can also eliminate fat or drooping skin on the abdomen. The process results in a straighter, flatter belly and enhances the body’s shape.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure that uses a purified fat from the body to naturally enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. It also tightens up the donor site with liposuction to balance out the contours of the body.
Buttock Lift
Buttock lift is a procedure that will remove excess skin and raise the sagging skin from aging or a significant amount of weight loss. The process leaves the buttocks more firm and young without increasing the size.
Arm Lift
Arm lift will help you to lift the loose skin from the upper arms to achieve a slimmer and toned look. It enhances arm shape and definition particularly following a large weight loss or as a result of skin laxity due to age.
Thigh Lift
Thigh Lift removes excess skin and tightens the inside or outside of the thighs to create smoother contours. The technique improves the shape of the legs and decreases skin rubbing and sagging.
Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer is a technique that rejuvenates volume with your own purified fat, where it is most needed. It can naturally tone the face, breasts, buttocks or any other part of the body and at the same time contour the donor site.
Breast Cosmetic Surgery
After breast surgery, the breasts will be larger, more shaped, symmetrical and more positioned according to each person’s objectives and in a natural proportion.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a procedure that enlarges the breasts by either with implants or fat transfer to make them look fuller. The technique also helps to create balance in the body and helps to make the woman’s breasts more symmetrical.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery tightens the skin and changes the shape of the tissue beneath the breasts to lift them. It helps to give the breast a firmer, younger look without necessarily making them larger.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction involves the removal of breast tissue, fat and skin, making the breasts lighter and proportionate. The same treatment also alleviates pain in the neck, shoulders and back that can be caused by large breasts.
Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revision corrects previous breast augmentation concerns, such as breast implant removal or replacement. The process enhances the look, comfort and position of the implants and corrects any changes over time.
How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Procedure
Your Goals
The first step is to recognize what you want to enhance and what outcomes you desire. Your surgeon will be able to choose the most suitable cosmetic surgery procedure for you if you have clear goals.
Facial vs Body Concerns
Facial procedures work on heightening the balance and rejuvenation, body procedures work on shape and contour. The course of consultation will indicate which is the most effective strategy to meet your concerns.
Age and Skin Quality
The elasticity and collagen content of your skin and other tissues affect how the tissue reacts to a surgical procedure. A range of factors can help to decide which is the best technique and what the outcome will be.
Medical Assessment
A comprehensive medical assessment allows you to make sure you are an appropriate choice for cosmetic surgery. Your surgeon conducts a health and medical exam and reviews your lifestyle to design a safe customized treatment plan.
