Cryo-lipolysis has also begun to gain traction. In this technique, the fat cells are frozen locally through cryogenic techniques. The area is then hit by waves of ultrasound which break up the brittle fat cells and free them from the surrounding tissue. From here the usual process of extraction by cannula is followed. This technique can be used for precision removal as well, so it has seen use as a sculpting technique, carving lines into the body which imitate a muscular physique.
Forehead Lift
The forehead lift is what most people traditionally think of when they hear ‘facelift’. In this procedure the skin of the forehead is pulled upwards to tighten it, reducing the appearing of wrinkles and lines. Because this is an invasive procedure it can take a week or two to recover fully from the effects.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
For a lot of people, men and women, the tummy is an area they’d love to change the look of. An abdominoplasty allows you to do exactly that. This is different from liposuction, which focuses on the local removal of fat. An abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure where fat is removed along with excess skin. It’s sometimes used by people who have gone through rapid weight loss and now carry excess, saggy skin. With a tummy tuck the surgeon will try to give a nice, tight appearance but pre-existing marks and scars, like birthmarks, can’t be removed. This is one of the more invasive plastic surgery types so recovery time can be a few weeks.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery is sometimes needed for medical reasons, as excess skin in the eyelid area can lead to impaired vision. More often though it’s a procedure used to create a specific eye shape. The popularity of this procedure has been on the increase as more and more people focus on having attractive eyes.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure which focuses on improving the appearance of your skin. It’s relatively painless and uses a specialized tool which erodes away the top layers of your skin, exposing fresher layers underneath. This technique can be used to remove spots, scars, and marks in the skin if they exist only on the top layers. The lower skin also appears younger, and as it recovers it often maintains this youthful sheen.
Lip Augmentation
The lip job came into public view back when Angelina Jolie first hit the mainstream. The world was going crazy over those full, pouty lips and women everywhere wanted to imitate it. Nowadays it’s a quick and cheap procedure to get some lip fillers injected. The effects fade with time though so users generally have regular injections, usually every 6 months or so.
Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)
A facelift can be done in combination with the forehead lift mentioned earlier on the list. It’s done in the same way, with excess skin being removed under anaesthesia. The remaining skin is lifted, making it tighter. The result is a younger appearance as wrinkles and lines are removed while the skin appears smoother and tighter.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A mastopexy is a procedure which can change the shape of your breasts without the need for implants. It is also sometimes used by women who experience excess sag after childbirth or weight loss. A lift will usually remove excess skin and focus on tightening the area, similar to how a facelift works.
