Cosmetic surgery is big business now,
advances of science and technology meaning it has become more affordable and much more accessible for anyone to consider it. Far from breast enhancements being only option anymore, there are operations that can be done on virtually any part of your body to aesthetically enhance your appearance. Getting ‘body beautiful’ has never been such a viable option as it is now.Types of cosmetic surgery.
Reading any daily newspaper (usually tabloids) will give a good indication as to types of cosmetic surgery that are available. It seems that nearly every popular celebrity has had Botox injections or a face-lift to improve their appearance but cosmetic surgery isn’t just about improving your appearance to ‘fit in’. Disfigurations can have a detrimental effect on many people’s lives, and cosmetic surgery is a reasonable answer to psychological problems that can accompany them.
Acne scar removal is a relatively simple operation and can change lives in a matter of weeks. Pierced ear repair and tattoo removal are also becoming very popular as more and more young adults are having body piercing and tattoos only to want them removed later in life.
Then, of course, there are physical changes that some people feel are required to keep them at peak of their physical appearance. Botox, (curiously enough, was originally a form of germ warfare!) , has become very popular as Botox injections are considerably cheaper than having surgical lifts. Botox works by temporarily paralysing muscles and fixing parts of body in certain positions. It can be effectively used to remove laughter lines or wrinkles but is only temporary so regular visits are needed to keep appearance they give.
Breast enhancement and reduction are as popular as ever with women, and many breast cancer victims have breast-rebuilding treatment in order to regain their natural body shapes and confidence. Face lifts help mask natural signs of aging by pulling skin tight and removing wrinkles and bags. Tummy tucks, Rhinoplasty (the political correct version of a nose job) and Liposuction are also available. These are a few of more popular versions of cosmetic surgery but if there is a part of your body you aren’t happy with there is bound to be a surgeon somewhere that can do what is required.
Is cosmetic surgery safe?
Unfortunately, due to money involved in cosmetic surgery, there have been a number of more unscrupulous ‘surgeons’ offering their services at reduced costs. These surgeons usually have little or no qualifications and avoiding them is most important thing you can do if considering cosmetic surgery.
Selecting right clinic can take time, and definitely isn’t something you should rush into. Always select a clinic that boasts recognised qualifications; a little research on Internet will tell you whether a qualification has been earned, bought or simply printed. Only consider using a clinic that offers a one-on-one with a surgeon before operating. They should be able to advise you on all aspects of your chosen surgery from benefits, look and feel, actual operation and any side affects that may be associated with it. If they don’t offer this, then you should reconsider using that particular clinic.
