Top Ten Cosmetic Surgeries

Top Ten Cosmetic Surgeries

The top ten most sought after cosmetic surgeries seem to focus from the breasts on up, and although the abdominals do make an appearance on the list, it seems that those seeking enhancement are most concerned with the upper body.

Coming in first, second, and third on the list on the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures done are the ever popular breast augmentation, lift, and reduction. An augmentation, which has been the number one surgery for years running, is focused on increasing the size of the bosom. This procedure is done by making one of several types of incisions inserting either saline or silicone implants. There are pros and cons to each material used, and a thorough consultation will determine which is the best for each patient. Lifts can be done with or without an augmentation and is meant to fix the droop of the aging or post-nursing breasts, while a reduction mammoplasty focuses on minimizing the size of the breast usually for medical intervention.

The face hosts a number of procedures that contribute to the top ten beginning with the ever popular face lift which focuses on regaining youthfulness of the check, jowl and neck area. The eyelid and forehead can be addressed with blepharoplasty which corrects drooping eyelids and puffy under eye bags by lifting the forehead though wrinkles in the forehead itself are better addressed with some sort of laser treatment.

The nose and the chin are two areas that draw attention from a different population. A lot of those who seek nose jobs or chin implants are those who are unhappy with the total results of a face lift or for those who have medical issues that have malformed the shape or function of the areas.

Rounding out the top ten are two procedures that focus on the tummy. A tummy tuck falls into the category of invasive surgery because it involves major incisions, skin removal, and repositioning. It sometimes even requires a new naval. This can be done with or without liposuction. Liposuction in and of itself is reserved for those who have achieved and maintained a healthy body weight but have stubborn areas of fat that will not budge.

These operations repeatedly make the top ten in annual surveys, and therefore experienced surgeons should be easy to find. To choose the most experienced, check the certification credentials of your prospective choice, ask to see before and after pictures of previous clients, and even ask if you can contact those referrals. A good and confident surgeon will gladly comply with any and all of your needs in your quest to make this decision to have cosmetic surgery done.
