Cosmetic surgery this and cosmetic surgery that. To truly understand cosmetic surgery
one needs to get a grasp of the various cosmetic surgery procedures available.

An Overview of Cosmetic Procedures

Cosmetic surgery is one of the most talked about topics in the media today. People from all walks of life - from celebrities to soccer moms – are going under the knife to have their faces and bodies modified. If you're considering having a surgical cosmetic procedure performed
you might be wondering what cosmetic surgery procedures are available to make yourself look and feel better. Well
the technology of body modifying surgery has been steadily evolving over the last 50 years
and now there are more cosmetic surgery procedures available than ever.

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures that is performed on a regular basis is liposuction. Liposuction is the process of removing excess fat deposits under the skin by using a vacuum. A small incision is made in the skin of the area that you wish to remove fat from
and then a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. In order to aid the suction
fluid may be pumped under the skin that includes an anesthetic. Another option is to use an ultrasound probe to break up the fat deposits. The liquefied fat is then suctioned through the cannula. Since there is only a small cut made in the skin
recovery is relatively easy
and the procedure usually leaves only tiny scars or no scars at all.

Another cosmetic surgery that is performed routinely is a rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty comes from the Greek words for “nose” and “to shape” and it is the medical term for a nose job. In rhinoplasty
surgeons reshape the nose by removing and transforming the cartilage in the nose
as well as changing the shape of the skin around the nostrils and smoothing out the tip of the nose. Surgeons can perform these types of cosmetic surgery procedures with only a small incision at the base of the nose
or some will do a “closed” procedure where there is no incision required. Nose jobs have become commonplace among many different age groups and social groups
and many people elect to have this surgery to correct bumps and crooked appearance of the nose that was either present at birth or caused by an accident.

A third popular procedure is one that most people think of when cosmetic surgery procedures are mentioned. Breast enhancement surgery is very popular and one of the most performed procedures. The use of silicone implants
however
has been banned for some time. Enhancements are now done with saline solution implants or some derivative. With improvements in technology
however
silicone implants are about to become available again.

There are many more cosmetic surgery procedures available for those who wish to modify different parts of their body and face
such as face lifts
tummy tucks
and even buttocks implants. Cosmetic surgeons today specialize in helping to create a new look for patients who have small imperfections or large amounts of correction needed – and the field is still evolving.
