How Cosmetic Surgery Can Improve Your Appearance

By: Ricavo Tilva

Insecurity is a terrible thing to live with and many people have insecurities about the way they look. Cosmetic surgery has become very advanced and can remedy many different problems.

The simple truth is most people identify breast implants with plastic surgery. This medical discipline however, goes well beyond that area. Consider the following procedures that are commonly performed.

  1. Eyelid surgery is one of the more popular cosmetic procedures. Upper eyelid surgery is used to remove fat deposits and drooping eyelids that can occur as you age.
  2. As we get older, we tend to grow hair where we don't want it. Laser hair removal works by heating up the follicle and destroying it. This, of course, stops further hair growth.
  3. Being pregnant or excessively overweight can overstretch muscles. Once this occurs, they will not recover. Tummy tucks resolve this by tightening up the muscles and skin.

  4. Breast enlargement is undoubtedly a frequently sought out procedure. Well, silicone implants are back. The risk associated with them is still iffy, so saline implants may be another option.
  5. One of the newer procedures is liposuction for the arms. As we age, we tend to get flabby along the bottom of the arm. Arm liposuction is designed to remove the fat that builds up.
  6. Spider veins can be unsightly. They are believed to be the result of increased pressure in veins. Sclerotherapy is a procedure that removes them by causing the vein to safely collapse.
  7. One would think breasts came perfectly matched. This is rarely the case. If yours are decidedly different sizes or shapes, you can get surgery to make them more symmetrical.
  8. Men gain weight in the waist and women get it in the thighs. In either case, you can get localized liposuction to remove the unwanted fat.
  9. Perhaps that tattoo of your ex-loves name wasn't such a smart move. Laser tattoo removal is the answer. Hey, Angelina Jolie did it to remove Billy Bob Thornton.
  10. You can do pushups all day, but who has time. For men, there are now procedures to give you that chest you want. Yep, you can get silicone chest implants. I kid you not.
At the end of the day, the decision to undergo elective surgery should be all about you. Only do it if you feel incomplete or unhappy with your appearance. Don't do it for others because ultimately, you will find no satisfaction in doing so.
