Many people find that there is something about some area of their body that they are not completely happy with. Sometimes it's something genetic, sometimes it's from aging or from losing a lot of weight, but in many instances this body concern costs people self-esteem, confidence, and quality of their life.
People who undergo cosmetic surgery often find that their entire life changes after their procedure. They feel happier and better about themselves and have exponentially more confidence even in their typical day-to-day life.
One of the biggest concerns is the visual signs of aging. As we grow older, our skin loses elasticity and can become wrinkled, saggy, droopy, and what many people find to be very undesirable in appearance. Not surprisingly, treatments and cosmetic procedures to restore youthful appearance and reverse signs of aging are among the most common. For example, injectable products like BOTOX ® and Juvéderm are incredibly popular and address facial wrinkles and loss of volume in the face, respectively.
Among the surgical procedures to address the signs of aging include the facelift, forehead and brow lift, neck lift, and blepharoplasty. As you might guess, a neck lift targets excess drooping and sagging skin beneath the chin and on the neck. Tightening and removing this excess skin and tissue often shaves many years of age from someone's appearance. This is particularly true of the facelift, which tightens the skin of the face to reduce the signs of wrinkles and other visible forms of aging. The forehead and brow lift are similar, but specifically target these individual areas. Blepharoplasty is also common and specifically targets the eyelids, a very common area revealing visible signs of aging.
Another area of concern for many cosmetic surgery patients is the shape or contour of specific areas of their body. Due to genetics, residual effects of being overweight and losing weight, or a combination of causes, there are certain areas of people's bodies that they may be unhappy with. These can include the arms, breast, abdomen, and buttocks, to name a few. Sometimes these concerns involve stretched or excess skin, a lack of shape or definition, or access fat that won't go away despite how much they exercise and try to lose it naturally.
There are lift and tuck procedures to address sagging excess skin in many areas of the body. For example, an arm lift or arm tuck is common to address droopy skin in the upper arms, the tummy tuck is extremely common and addresses excess skin around the abdomen, and a butt lift, or Brazilian but lift, is effective at lifting and sculpting the buttocks.
Liposuction is also incredibly popular and can address stubborn fat that will not shed from exercise and diet. In some cases, liposuction is used for fat transfer, so that particular areas of the body can be augmented. For example, those who undergo a butt lift procedure may wish for that area to be further augmented. If they have excess fat in a different part of their body, fat can be transferred from the undesirable location and injected into their buttocks to augment and sculpt this area further. Sometimes, implants are also used, especially for augmentation of the breasts. Patients who find that a particular area of their body lacks shape or volume may wish to have implants to increase the contour of that particular area.
Through this variety of available procedures, it is possible for many people who find something unsatisfactory or undesirable about their body to address it and feel better about themselves. Often, cosmetic surgery patients feel better and have more self-esteem and confidence for many, many years of their life to come. The benefits from undergoing a cosmetic procedure can be very long-lasting and truly reshape the lives of those they benefit.
