Popular Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

By Mark Walters

Why is cosmetic surgery so popular? People want to feel better about themselves. One of the ways people begin to feel better about themselves is by feeling better about how they look. Medical advancements in cosmetic surgery have made such surgery simpler and safer and it has become more acceptable in recent years to have cosmetic surgery. The price of cosmetic surgery is also lower today than it was in past years. 97% of plastic surgery patients report higher self esteem and a better quality of life.

Cosmetic surgery procedures are very common today. But aesthetic, or cosmetic surgery, has been performed since the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. In fact there is evidence of birth defects being corrected, correction of disfigurements that occurred as punishment for a crime or injuries that happened during war. For as long as there have been people, they have wanted to look their best.

Once upon a time, cosmetic surgery was seen as a vanity. It was only for the rich and famous. Today, with the societal pressure to look beautiful, more people than ever are undergoing plastic surgery. Also, most cosmetic surgery used to be considered in the realm of women's surgery. More men are having cosmetic surgery today than in the past. And age isn't a factor any more, either. Even teens have plastic surgery. The most common cosmetic surgeries performed are:

- "A Nose Job" - or rhinoplasty, is less invasive than some cosmetic procedures, and can go a long way in improving a person's appearance.

- Liposuction - is the second most popular cosmetic procedure. Many people are very overweight. The results of liposuction are usually excellent, adding to the popularity of the procedure.

- Eyebrow lifts - are number three. An eyebrow lift can enhance facial appearance and take a lot of years off tired eyes. It's very simple and results are very good. It's a popular procedure with men as well as women.

- Breast enlargement - is number four. Women feel more secure getting breasts enlarged now that breast implants are safer.

- And then there's the face lift - It is a significantly intrusive procedure and requires a longer recovery time than most other cosmetic surgery procedures. However, most clients are very happy with the results of this surgery.
