Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

by Cecile Cinco

Cosmetic surgery refers to the surgery that is meant to improve the cosmetics alone. It falls under plastic surgery just as reconstructive plastic surgery but in no way has any of these two got to do with the synthetic polymer material we call plastic.

Chicago plastic surgery may very well agree with the following procedures that fall under cosmetic surgery. Which in the list would you want to go for?

- abdominoplasty is more known as the “tummy tuck” which is reshaping and firming of the abdomen.

- blepharoplasty is the eyelid surgery which reshapes the eyelids or application of permanent eyeliner. One-time cost and saves on makeup if you’re the type who can’t live without makeup.

- mammoplasty (from mammary glands) covers breast augmentation or boob jobs, breast reduction or breast lift. I think this has been one of the in thing in the 80s-90s.

- butt augmentation is, of course, the enhancement of the buttocks.

- chemical peel is another popular procedure especially for those aging women who like to lessen the wrinkles. It is also the procedure that minimizes the appearance of acne, scars and other skin eye sores.

- labiaplasty is the surgical reduction and reshaping of the labia (what else?).

- rhinoplasty or the more commonly named “nose job.”

- otoplasty is the reshaping of the ear (very recommended if you have Dumbo ears ).

- rhytidectomy is the commonly called “face lift.”

- suction-assisted lipectomy or liposuction or for short, lipo, which removes body fat especially those that cover your toes when you try to stand and look at them (toes) but you cannot!

- chin augmentation. Have you seen half-moon faces? Unlike Bob Hope who makes his chin his trademark, many, especially women, do hate their looks.

- cheek augmentation. Are your cheekbones hiding and would like them to be prominent? There is a solution to that as well.

- collagen, fat and other tissue filler injections.

- laser skin resurfacing.

- male pectoral implants. Want to increase your chest size? Hmm….what for? (teasing)
