What to Know Before Surgery
Common cosmetic procedures include rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck, neck lift, and body contouring. There are also nonsurgical aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxin injections, and certain skin-resurfacing procedures.
People have different reasons for considering plastic surgery. Some want to address a feature that has bothered them for many years, while others may want to restore their appearance after significant weight loss, pregnancy, injury, or aging. For some patients, reconstructive surgery can have an important functional benefit in addition to improving appearance. For example, reconstructive procedures may help restore movement, repair damaged tissue, or address physical abnormalities.
