Plastic surgery is an extremely personal choice, and one that should be entered into with a  sufficient amount of knowledge and thought. No one should have a procedure just because it’s “trendy,” or because someone else has told them they should!  It is important to work closely with your plastic surgeon to determine whether or not a particular procedure is right for you.

Let’s take a closer look at some popular plastic surgeries available today, and provide some important information about these procedures.

Top Plastic Surgery Procedures of Today

1. Blepharoplasty.Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is performed on the upper or lower eyelids. The procedure helps reshape your eyelids, and removes bagginess and tighten the loose, excess skin around the lids. However, it will not remove fine wrinkles or lines. Most patients will experience minor bruising, or swelling after the procedure, along with blurry vision. This procedure is ideal for patients who wish to improve the overall appearance of their eyes, but it can also help keep sagging skin from falling into the eyes and impairing your vision. The best candidates for this procedure are healthy, non-smoking adults, who do not have any serious eye conditions.
2. Liposuction. Liposuction helps sculpt your body to its ideal shape, removing stubborn areas of local fat, which have been resistant to diet and exercise. The fat will be removed through small incisions made by a surgeon. Thanks to advances in technology over the years, liposuction techniques have become much safer over the years. The procedure can be performed on various areas of the body, such as the thighs, abdomen, back, hips, arms, or the buttocks.  Ideal candidates for liposuction are otherwise healthy patients who suffer from areas of unwanted body fat. Despite what many people think, liposuction only removes fat, so it is not for people looking to lose a great deal of weight!
3. Breast augmentation. Breast augmentation restores a woman’s appearance, making her breasts look fuller, firmer, and better-proportioned. The plastic surgeon will place a saline or silicone implant in the breast, enhancing the size and appearance of the breasts. Ideal candidates for this procedure are healthy adults who are seeking to improve their appearance, for either aesthetic or medical reasons. Most patients will be able to return to work after about a week of recovery.
