As cosmetic surgery procedures become safer, less invasive and more efficient, an increasing amount of individuals every year look to modern medicine to fulfill their dreams of a better physique, or a more attractive face. From the most subtle of alterations to drastic full-body transformations, a vast selection of techniques and methods are now available to suit practically every person’s aesthetic needs.

Millions of people have literally and figuratively gone under the knife with each passing year, and the numbers only seem to increase annually. It is becoming increasingly common to be acquainted with, or actually be, someone who has availed of cosmetic surgery to improve some part of one’s body, with which he or she was previously dissatisfied.

It is not surprising that the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures being performed today are relatively basic, having been refined by surgeons over the years. As the vast majority of the patient demographics for cosmetic surgery is comprised of women, breast augmentation is a consistently common procedure according to various statistics.

The artificial enlarging and uplifting of a woman’s breasts through implants and injectable fillers is one of the hallmarks of plastic surgery. As society continues to associate firm, decent-sized breasts with youth and attractiveness, women will continue to enhance their previously sagging, miniscule or nearly non-existent bosoms.

Liposuction is another top contender in the rankings of procedures performed each year. Excess fat is a perennial problem for both men and women, especially as one grows older, since diet and exercise may not be sufficient to fully tone and shape a person’s body. Nagging deposits of adipose in the abdomen, arms, back, and legs are now easily removed through liposuction, which shatters and sucks out accumulated fat permanently.

Facial surgery is yet another active sub-field in the realm of cosmetic surgery. Many patients undergo rhinoplasty, or nose reconstruction and augmentation because they feel that their noses are misshapen or unsightly and that they would benefit greatly from sharper, smaller, straighter noses. Though the restructuring of one’s nose may sometimes involve breaking the supporting bone and cartilage, the process itself is relatively simple and the healing period is swift. The incisions are normally made inside the nostrils to reduce scar visibility.

Further Dimpleplasty is another trending surgery that people are seeking. If you were not born with dimples on your face, there's no worry, this surgery could help you in getting the best of them. This is quite a small surgery that is quite affordable and worthy.

The other popular facial surgery technique is that of eyelid augmentation. Sagging, weary eyelids with heavy lines are perceived as signs of aging and can make a person look tired and old. The surgery involves the excision of superfluous skin and tightening of the connective tissue, which may be complemented by smoothing processes around the eye area to further reduce age lines. Enhanced eyelids shave away years from a person’s face and give one a more refreshed appearance.

Sometimes, removal of fat may not be sufficient to restore the appearance of a fit abdomen, especially if a person has lost a significant amount of body weight from being formerly obese. The skin in the abdominal region may have lost elasticity and hangs about as ugly folds. Abdominoplasty, the process by which these folds are trimmed away and the remaining skin sutured back into place, remains as another common cosmetic surgery procedure, to complement a successful weight loss program, or in conjunction with liposuction for attaining a firm midsection.

Interestingly, the most popular cosmetic medical technique isn’t surgical at all. Outstripping surgical processes by a wide margin, the injection of Botox to paralyze muscles and smooth over wrinkled surfaces is far and away from the most common practice that still falls within the realm of plastic surgery and aesthetic enhancement. Its ease of application, relative cheapness, and instant results provide the much-needed beauty boost craved by most patients who take their troubles to a cosmetic surgeon.</p></p>
