We often heard a word cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery so basically what is this? May be some of us know a lot more about this but I am sure that most of people don’t have correct information about this. Cosmetic surgery is usually executed to correct a physical abnormality or to improve, we can say that this procedure can enhance the normal physical features. Cosmetic surgery is an extremely extensive field that may offer reconstructive surgery for a patient whose skin is damaged in accidents, or in burn or other physical trauma.
Though, cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best known kind of plastic surgery. Most of plastic surgery is not a cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery like hand surgery, micro surgery and the treatment of burns. This technology can also be used to smooth out wrinkles, enlarge breasts, remove fats from the healthy parts of body, or can reshape a nose. In the not so distant past, cosmetic surgery was restricted only to surgery which was absolutely necessary to the health and well-being of the patient- for example, skin grafting for serious burns, reconstructing a dislodged eye, repairing a broken nose or jaw or treating a seemly birth marks on face or on other part of body.
Plastic surgery has many forms and the popular forms are Liposuction in which excessive fat is sucked out of the body with a tube and vacuum device. Another one form is laser facial resurfacing which smoothes lines on the face around the eyes and mouth and removes facial blemishes. Facelift which pulls back the skin around the face, jowls and neck. Breast enlargement is also a form of cosmetic surgery and hair replacement surgery or hair transplantation is also most popular form of plastic surgery in which fills in balding areas using a patient’s own hair. There are many more forms of plastic surgery including variations of these.
A number of people who are interested in plastic surgery note one thing that plastic surgery should think the risks and one thing more that it is, ultimately surgery. Some times the result of surgery may disappoint the doctors and patients and can break their hopes. Recovery of the plastic surgery is just like any other surgery, complete with pain and the possibility of infections. Though cosmetic surgery is an option so the patients must be careful to choose doctors, get hold of several references and keep practical expectations.
