Five Must - Know Facts About Plastic Surgery



1. Plastic surgery is driven by the aging population. Baby boomers are excellent candidates for facial cosmetic surgery such as facelifts, eyelid lifts, neck lifts, and others. Also, for women turning the corner, breast augmentation or breast lift procedures look appealing because they restore the natural beauty of a younger woman, and self-perception and self-esteem increases measurably in many cases. The number of breast augmentations performed in 2003 was triple the amount performed early in the 1990's.

2. Plastic surgery trends are focused on the natural look, as opposed to the synthetic, surgical look. When considering plastic surgery, it is helpful to find examples of people who have already undergone natural looking cosmetic surgery. This will give the doctor a better idea of what you want to look like.

3. Technically, the difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery is that plastic surgery evolved from reconstructive surgery, whereas cosmetic surgery is typically undertaken by the patient as a choice for improvements.

4. As a patient, you can evaluate your choice in care by learning the difference between a plastic surgeon who is trained in plastic surgery, versus someone who calls themselves a cosmetic surgeon. Check to ensure that the doctor you are considering is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which ensures the physician's level of training and care is up to quality standards.

5. A plastic surgeon is really a beauty sculptor. It is helpful for your cosmetic or plastic surgeon to have training in aesthetic plastic surgery techniques. Studying the faces and bodies of beautiful people, studying aesthetics and taking sculpting class are helpful, but it takes an artist to truly understand the work involved in plastic or cosmetic surgery. Not all surgeons have that artistic gift. For many, plastic surgery is a science. But it helps to also think of it as an art, one that requires attention to detail and aesthetic appreciation.

By far, the most popular cosmetic procedures that are performed today in most countries around the world are Botox injections and chemical peels. While the most popular cosmetic surgery around the world is still breast augmentation, this includes breast reduction and breast implants.

In the United States, the most popular cosmetic surgery is liposuction. Liposuction began in Italy in 1974. A gynecologist developed the original procedure and four years later, a French physician further improved the process. Early liposuction surgeries were unattractive and caused a lot of bleeding and bruising. It wasn't until 1985 that a new technique called, the tumescent technique was developed that greatly improved the results and shortened the healing time.

By the 1990s, liposuction surgeries were the most popular cosmetic procedure to be performed in the US and remains so to this day. Many people see liposuction as a solution to weight loss. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Liposuction is only an option when the patient is not overweight, but has an area that is larger and out of proportion with the rest of his or her body.

Liposuction is done on any part of the body that stores fat. The usual areas are the hip and buttock areas, called saddlebags, the stomach, and upper arms. A tiny incision is placed near the area that is to be worked on and a small tube, called
a cannula is inserted. They cannula is attached to a hose that will suction the fat deposits that reside just under the skin. The tumescent technique, as stated earlier, is then practiced. With this technique, a liquid anesthetic is applied under the skin, which makes the surgery less painful and creates less bruising and therefore, a quicker healing time.

Cosmetic surgeons who specialize in liposuction are continuing to make new advancements in the field. One of the newest forms of liposuction introduced in the late 1990's is ultrasonic liposuction. This is where the fat cells are targeted and loosened by soundwaves. This form of cosmetic surgery is quite expensive, as it is still in the early stages. But once the procedure has been "perfected", the costs will come down. Initially, it is thought ultrasonic liposuction will be far superior to the liposuction surgeries that are performed today.

The second most popular cosmetic surgery performed in the United States is eyelid surgery. The skin around our eyes is very thin and therefore, wrinkles, sags, and bags much sooner than anywhere else on our face. Cosmetic surgeries for the eyes are being performed at an earlier and earlier age. Patients wish to eliminate crows feet, bags under the eyes, and puffy eyelids. These surgeries are being performed on an increasing number of men. Because our eyes age so prematurely and cause us to look older than we are, eyelid surgeries are now a very common occurrence.

The next most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States is breast augmentation. Most breast augmentation surgeries are breast implants. In the past, most breast implants were silicone. There were so many complications with silicone that it was completely replaced with saline implants. Today, silicone implants are making a resurgence. Improvements have been made to help correct the problem of leaking and of the silicone implants hardening after many years. The FDA is expected to approve the use of silicone implants quite soon.

The large number of breast reduction surgeries also contributes to making breast augmentation the third most popular cosmetic surgery in the US. Both women and men who have too much fat and tissue in this area elect to undergo breast reduction.

And finally, to round out the top five most popular cosmetic surgeries performed in the United States, next you have rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is where a cosmetic surgeon reshapes the nose. Lastly, the fifth most popular surgery is the facelift.

In a recent poll, 20% of Americans said that they had either had cosmetic surgery performed or planned on having a procedure performed very soon. With the advancements being made in cosmetic surgery and the increase in its general acceptance, that percentage will, undoubtedly, rise. Hypnoporn
