The popularity of plastic surgery is going up every year, with more and more people opting for surgical procedures. Today, things have changed such that not just women but men too are going for such procedures. The decision to have plastic surgery is somehow personal, but countries have experienced a rise of people demanding the procedure, raising the number to around 18 million per year. In this article I have broken down the top 6 most popular plastic surgery procedures.
Breast Augmentation
This procedure is at the top of the list of the most common plastic surgery procedures in Mumbai. Commonly known as “boob job“, the surgery is usually about putting implants in the breast area or transfer of body fat to make the breasts bigger. It also aims at reshaping the breasts, giving them a fuller and more rounded shape. Many women who go for breast augmentation have lost a bit of volume after breastfeeding or those who have some sagging with age. So, a woman who is unhappy with the shape or size of her breasts can go for cosmetic surgery in Mumbai to have them reshaped and resized to their liking. However, according to my peer plastic surgeons, not many women want huge breasts. Most of them want them to look big but natural.
Rhinoplasty
This is another popular procedure among both men and women. We all know that the face is an important part of the body that could greatly affect the level of your confidence. If you are not happy with this part, or any part on the face, your confidence may be affected. So, many people are choosing to have rhinoplasty, also known as ‘nose job’. Mostly, rhinoplasty is done to reshape the nose by straightening the profile or creating a fine tip. A person may also go for the procedure to have their nose reduced. In other cases, a person with breathing problems, affected by the shape or formation of their nose can go for the procedure. The patient takes a week or so to heal, making this a simple and cost-effective procedure.
Liposuction
We have experienced a huge number of patients who want liposuction procedures. This is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of fat from particular areas of the body to give a sculpted and slimmer body shape. Liposuction comes in two forms:
Tumescent. This is the popular type of liposuction that involves the infusion of a particular medicine that softens the fat, makes the area numb and constricts the blood vessels. During the procedure, the drug, in the form of liquid is sucked out together with body fat using cannulas. This is done through very tiny cuts. There are no large incisions, stitches, marks or scars.
Ultrasonic Assisted. In this procedure, a cannula is used to release ultrasonic energy that melts down the fat. This fat is later suctioned out. However, this procedure is riskier compared to tumescent, considering the side effects such as burns. It is used in certain selective cases.
Facelift
Facelift is another popular type of plastic surgery, with more than 1,20,000 people going for the procedure every year. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision on the front side of the ear and behind your hairline to lift up and get rid of the excess skin. The aim is usually to tighten the skin and reshape the overall appearance of the face. Rhytidectomy is mostly used to eliminate wrinkles, folds or face sagging due to old age. In most cases, this procedure is combined with others like eyelid surgery and forehead lift to give a completely different and youthful appearance. It is also accompanied by minimally invasive procedures like Facial Fat Grafting or Dermal fillers and Botox injections.
Tummy Tuck
Known as Abdominoplasty, the surgical procedure entails the removal of excess skin and fat on the abdomen. It is a common plastic surgery procedure performed on individuals who would like to lose excess skin after losing weight or after pregnancy. It is common for both men and women. A patient, in this case, has excess fat as well as excess skin in the area, due to the factors mentioned above. After the surgery, the person can go back to their normal life after about 2 weeks with limited physical activities.
Breast Lift
A breast lift surgery is similar to a breast augmentation, only that the procedure is done to treat sagging breasts or those with a bad or undesirable shape. A person may go for the surgery if their breasts are deflated after pregnancy or weight loss. A woman will opt for the procedure if their breasts look smaller than before they were pregnant or lost weight. This surgery shifts the breasts to a higher position, makes them tighter and reduces the size of the areola for a more pleasing appearance. It does leave a few scars but most of them are well hidden. The benefits can be tremendous.
Wrapping It Up
The above are the most common types of plastic surgery procedures. A person will opt for any of the above but it is advisable to go to an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Many people have suffered from failed plastic surgeries not because these procedures are risky, but because they were done in the hands of inexperienced and under-qualified surgeons. So, it becomes important to be careful and choose the best plastic surgeon in Mumbai and get operated at the best hospital.
