PlasticSurgery

Many plastic surgery procedures are designed to reshape facial areas. Rhinoplasty, otoplasty, and chin implant surgery are common ways to change the size or contours of specific facial features, such as your nose, ears, and chin. Other techniques, such as laser skin resurfacing, provide a subtle enhancement to facial appearance. Many facial surgeries can counteract sagging skin and wrinkles resulting from aging. These options include a brow lift, mini facelift, facelift, neck lift, or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

Many plastic surgery techniques are intended to sculpt a specific portion of the body by removing excess fat or skin. Frequently, such surgeries focus on the midsection that often develops excess skin as a result of weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. These plastic surgeries include a tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, or body lift. Other options include an arm lift, thigh lift, and liposuction. While these procedures are commonly performed on men, as well as women, some techniques, such as a mommy makeover or labiaplasty surgery, are specially designed for women.

Many plastic surgery techniques offer the opportunity to reshape your breast. The most popular plastic surgery procedure is breast augmentation, which increases breast size through the insertion of implants. The breasts can also be made smaller by performing a breast reduction or lifted to reduce the effects of gravity with breast lift surgery or a breast lift with minimal scarring. A breast lift or reduction can be combined with an implant for breast contouring.
