Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic Surgery

Matthew Wagner

For those who want to improve some aspect of their appearance, this desire is no longer some sort of ridiculous dream. Modern science and medicine has made this a very achievable possibility for anyone who is looking to have plastic surgery done. There are a few types of plastic surgery that are most common to have done, and these usually address the issues that bother most people. If you are upset with some part of your body and you would like to have it improved, read on and perhaps you will find that it is a possibility if you are willing to go in for some plastic surgery.

The most infamous type of plastic surgery is probably Rhinoplasty. Known crudely as a "nose job", it is truly a testament to what sort of powerful abilities plastic surgeons have. The nose is cut open and practically remolded into a completely new and more desirable form. This is the most popular plastic surgery, and the cost has decreased so much that it is increasingly common for regular people to get it. A young girl might even ask for rhinoplasty as a graduation gift or some other equally important occasion.

Otoplasty is essentially the same concept, only with ears. The cartilage in ears is very moldable and soft. If someone feels that their ears protrude too much, they can have a slice cut out of the back to make them lay closer to their head. Just like in rhinoplasty, the shape can be edited in many different ways to allow the patient to choose exactly what he or she wants the new ear to look like.

Reconstructive surgery is another aspect of plastic surgery that has been very helpful in society. If someone has a horrible accident and becomes disfigured or burned beyond recognition, plastic surgeons can recreate facial components to look so convincing that it is almost as if nothing ever happened. This allows accident victims to go back to life as normal, and not just be some sort of monstrosity because of what happened to them. So while plastic surgery might be filled with a lot of greed and selfishness, its science has still had a very positive impact.
