Plastic Surgery Covers Head to Toe

Cosmetic surgery covers a large number of areas. Below, we cover a few of the wide ranging factors involved in this practice.

Areola: Reconstruction of the nipple and areola after mastectomy or breast implant is becoming more popular in procedures sought by patients. Many women find that their breast shape lacks a natural-looking nipple and areola after their procedure. The overall effect just isn't the same. Plastic surgeons and physicians can now shape a new areola from existing skin tissue and give a good approximation of the real thing while making sure it is symmetrical with the opposite side.

Breast: One of the most popular elective cosmetic surgeries available today, breast augmentation is the way many plastic surgeons make their bread and butter. In fact, it could be argued that breast enhancement has made the entire field of elective cosmetic plastic surgery more popular than ever before. People have realized that they can have the shape they want and are flocking to the operating room in droves.

Cancer: One important field of plastic surgery has to do with the excision of cancer and reconstruction of remaining tissue into an aesthetic and viable finished product. Skin cancer is unfortunately extremely common and dermatologists often refer their patients to plastic surgeons. This ensures that they tissue will be properly removed and that the skin that's left behind will look as normal as possible. Often plastic surgeons are able to graft skin from other areas of the body in order to help you look and feel your best.

Debt: There are a number of financial companies that are willing to help you figure out how to pay for your procedures. Even if you don't have the total amount up front, these companies can get you the money so you can enjoy the results of the surgery while paying them back with a bit of added interest to boot.

Ears: As mentioned above, there is truly no area of the body that is spared from plastic surgery. The ears are no exception. Whether damaged by trauma or simply malformed due to birth defects, surgeons can now create perfect looking ears from your own skin and cartilage. The results are dramatic and amazing and enable patients to keep short hair cuts if they want.

Fat: Next to breast augmentation, liposuction is probably the most popular plastic surgery available today. Tummy tuck and liposuction are extremely common ways that men and women elect to trim curves and achieve the form they'd want. While it is not a replacement for changes in your lifestyle to adopt healthy eating habits and increase activity, fat removal can speed up the process.

Gynecomastia: While women across the country and around the world are electing to make their breasts bigger with plastic surgery, many men are choosing to make their breasts smaller. Gynecomastia is a term that refers to natural male breast enlargement that stems from a variety of reasons. It can quickly and easily be eliminated with a simple operation.
