What Cosmetic Surgery Is About
Most women never satisfy with their shape and size even though
some of them have a perfect body already. Our demand for beauty
never ends. If you are thinking along the lines of having
cosmetic surgery for your problem, remember that some size and
shape differences are normal and while breast implants will
increase the size, they won't correct basic shape and form
defects. It is possible to have other forms of corrective
surgery for that.
The breast implant operation is carried out under general
anesthetic and involves the insertion of the implant by means of
a small incision under the breast, the armpit or even the
belly-button area. The implant is made of silicone that is
filled with a saline solution. The shape is based on the
individual needs of the patient.
Gynecomastia can be corrected by cosmetic surgery. This
condition is affecting 40/60 percent of men in the USA, where
fatty deposits due usually to an inherited factor cause enlarged
breasts. This is called Liposculpture surgery and is a fairly
recent development that will restore a thinner, more masculine
contour to the chest.
It is a must that the patient-after-surgery should wear a
snug-fitting garment for several weeks. This will minimize
bruising and swelling and help the skin to shrink more quickly.
Return to work varies depending on the job. Office workers can
return sooner than those doing more physically challenging work.
Even though tummy tucks might sound simple and easy, any
operation that requires a general anesthetic should be
considered seriously. For this reason, never be afraid to ask
about your surgeon's qualifications and experience.
Mostly, a skilled professional trained in this field, excises
folds of loose skin and fat, having previously marked the areas
to be cut out. Slack muscles are then tightened before the
operation is complete. The incision is usually made along the
bikini line; the skin is pulled down and afterwards secured with
several rows of sutures to minimize scarring. Fat may be
harvested at the same time and frozen for use in a future
Lipo-suction operation. This possibility should be discussed
with the surgeon beforehand.
There are other operations involving a removal of sagging skin,
which can be carried out on the thighs, upper arms and neck
area. Moreover, face-lifts can be used to remove wrinkles and
lift sagging areas and scarring is usually minimal, but if
indulged in too often, the whole face can become a ghastly
caricature of what Mother Nature intended.
