Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Overview

What is cosmetic plastic surgery?

Cosmetic plastic surgery is done to
change your appearance. For some, it may mean redesigning the body’s contour and shape,
smoothing wrinkles, or eliminating balding areas. Others may choose varicose vein
treatment or breast enlargement. There are a number of cosmetic surgery procedures
that
men and women can choose from to create an image that makes them feel more confident
and
comfortable with their appearance.

Health insurance rarely covers the
cost of cosmetic procedures, but the number of people deciding to have cosmetic plastic
surgery continues to grow. The top cosmetic surgeries are breast enlargement,
liposuction, nose reshaping, eyelid surgery, tummy tuck, and facelift.
