With almost 18 million people in the country annually going through plastic surgery, this popularity increases with every passing year. While many people want to reach their beauty goals by changing their body features, plastic surgery improves the overall body function. The concept of plastic surgery is far beyond facial alterations. Some of the common plastic surgeries, and reasons for these procedures can be personal and medical.

Breast augmentation 
The surgical procedure of increasing the size or altering the shape of breasts is termed as breast augmentation. This enormously popular plastic is surgery common amongst American women. Breast augmentation is different from breast reduction or breast lifts. This surgery is done for a lot of reasons. The recovery time for most patients is one or two weeks.

Blepharoplasty 
Many people appear older than their actual age because of too much skin or saggy skin on their eyelids. While people usually opt for this surgery for cosmetic reasons, but many it is the ultimate option to treat their impaired vision. Puffiness, wrinkles, and fat under-eye bags are removed to give a clear vision and youthful appearance during the procedure. For most of the patients, 10 to 15 days is the recovery time.

Liposuction 
Also known as “tummy tuck” this surgery is ranked amongst the most common plastic surgeries, and reasons can vary from medical to cosmetic. Abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, buttocks, neck, or face are the common body parts from where fats are removed. In tumescent liposuction, the patient’s body is infused with numbing agents, and fats are suctioned out of the body. In ultrasonic-assisted liposuction, the fat is melted using ultrasonic energies, and then it is suctioned out. Depending on the area and method of surgery, recovery time varies from one person to another.

Rhinoplasty 
To reshape or repair the nose, “nose job” or rhinoplasty is done. The surgery helps in bringing a clear and visible balance with the rest of the face. In case of any injury, the surgeon might change the shape, repair the bones, or refine the nose’s overall linings. The recovery might take 10 to 15 days, depending on the surgery.

Gynecomastia treatment 
Gynecomastia is a condition where an excessive amount of fat tissue is deposited around male breast areas. In some men, this is a genetic condition, while others experience this growth because of steroids or excessive marijuana use. If these medications are the reason for men’s breast growth, then before the surgery, they should quit these medications to ensure the necessary outcome. Recovery time might vary based on age and the amount of fat.

You now know some of the most common plastic surgeries and reasons why people are motivated to go for them. Plastic surgeries make people confident and satisfied with their overall appearance.
