From Your Nose to Your Toes: What is the Most Common Plastic Surgery?

February 26, 2019

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were nearly 18 million plastic surgery procedures completed in 2017.

The plastic surgery industry continues to grow every year as procedures become less invasive, safer, and more available. 

There are many benefits to plastic surgery. A few include increased self-confidence and improved mental and physical health.

If you’re considering plastic surgery, keep reading to find out the most common plastic surgery procedures. 

Breast Augmentation

The most popular procedure is breast augmentation. It is a procedure that alters the size or shape of breasts.

In breast augmentation, implants are used to accomplish these changes. If you’re interested you can learn more here. 

After surgery, one can usually return to moderate activity in one to two weeks. Returning to higher impact activities can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. 

Liposuction

If you’re looking to change the shape of your body, liposuction may be the procedure you’re looking for.

Liposuction removes fat deposits on the body through a vacuum-suction tube. It can be performed on almost all areas of the bodies. Popular spots are on the stomach, back, legs and arms. 

Returning to normal activities usually takes about two weeks after surgery. 

Blepharoplasty

This is a procedure that reshapes the eyelids. It can be performed for cosmetic purposes or it can also be necessary to improve vision. 

Excess skin or droopy skin around the eyes can make it difficult for people to see properly.

Blepharoplasty can also be used to improve the appearance of bags under the eyes, restoring youthfulness.  

Residual swelling can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after surgery to go away. However, it usually takes about 10 days for the majority of the swelling to go away. 

Abdominoplasty

Also known as a “tummy tuck,” abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens the skin over the abdomen. 

This is a common procedure for women who have excess skin from pregnancies or extreme weight loss.

This isn’t a procedure to remove stomach fat, like liposuction. Instead, it’s for those who want to remove excess or saggy skin. 

Recovery to normal activities usually takes 2 to 3 weeks and can take longer for more intense activities. 

Rhinoplasty

Otherwise known as a nose job, rhinoplasty surgeries are used to reshape the nose. 

Both small and large adjustments can be made to make the appearance more pleasing and in better balance with the face. It can also be necessary to improve breathing for some people. 

After surgery, bruising is very common. It takes about 10 days to return to normal activity. 

Rhytidectomy

A rhytidectomy is also called a facelift. Facelifts are used to restore youth by reducing wrinkles and saggy skin on the face. 

This is usually accomplished by pulling the skin tighter with incisions around the hair and jawline where scarring will be the least visible. 

Common side effects are swelling and bruising. Patients can usually return to normal activity after about two weeks, but full recovery usually takes about 12 weeks. 

Most Common Plastic Surgery

Now that you have an idea of the most common plastic surgery procedures, you can decide if cosmetic surgery is right for you.

It is now more accessible than ever and it can be a great way to boost your self-confidence and improve your quality of life.
