What Is the Most Common Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery operations range from elective to corrective, restoring function, and improving a person's quality of life. These procedures are also used to remove malignant skin growths. There is even a branch of plastic surgery called regenerative medicine that focuses on producing cells to replace damaged skin and other types of tissue. This surgery may improve your life, whether for cosmetic or practical reasons.

1. Liposuction
   • In the United States, liposuction is the most common type of plastic surgery. Liposuction is a procedure that removes fat deposits by inserting a tube beneath the skin and sucking the fat out using a vacuum-like apparatus. The abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, and upper arms are common sites for the procedure.
2. Tummy tuck
   • Many people have abdominoplasty surgeries to get a desirable flat stomach. The abdomen is flattened during surgery by removing excess fat and skin and tightening abdominal muscles.
3. Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty
   • Breast augmentation is the procedure of enhancing a woman's breasts using saline or silicone-filled implants.
4. Breast lift or mastopexy
   • Women who desire to elevate and contour their drooping breasts can get a breast lift. 
   • Extra skin is removed and the remaining tissue and nipples are repositioned during the surgery.
5. Breast reduction (men)
   • Some men have gynecomastia, a disorder that causes them to grow breasts that resemble that of women. Gynecomastia can have many different probable causes, including hormonal changes associated with puberty, drug usage, tumors, genetic problems, liver disease, and certain drugs. 
   • In a breast reduction procedure, the excessive fat or glandular tissue that is the cause of the bigger breasts is removed. Gynecomastia is quite common; in fact, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates that 40 to 60 percent of men have this disorder.
6. Dermabrasion
   • Wrinkles and facial imperfections are physically rubbed away with dermabrasion as the surgeon uses a high-speed, spinning instrument to scrape away the top layers of skin, revealing softer, younger layers.
7. Rhinoplasty or nose job
   • It is the procedure of altering the nose to make it bigger or smaller, to reduce the nostril width, or to adjust the angle between the nose and upper lip.
8. Cleft lip and cleft palate correction
   • Many children are born with one or both cleft lips and palates. A cleft lip or palate alters the look of a person's face, which can result in low self-confidence. The condition constantly makes it difficult for the person to speak and eat. 
   • Given the very high incidence of this abnormality, a plastic surgeons may do numerous cleft lip and palate surgeries throughout their career. This plastic surgery should ideally be performed when the child is 18 months old and when the potential to recover correctly is at its optimum.
9. Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty
   • Drooping upper eyelids and bags beneath the eyes are treated with eyelid surgery by removing excess fat, muscle, and skin.
10. Face-lift or rhytidectomy
    • A face-lift can help decrease wrinkles and the indications of aging. The procedure involves redraping the skin, removing excess fat, and tightening the muscles in the face and neck.
11. Forehead lift
    • This surgery eliminates wrinkles and droops by removing tissue and tightening the skin and muscles of the forehead.
12. Ear surgery or otoplasty
    • Large ears protruding outside the skull can be quite upsetting, especially for young children. 
    • Most of those who have ear surgery, in which the skin or cartilage of the ear is removed or bent back to put the ears closer to the skull, are children.
13. Lip augmentation
    • To give your lips more volume, a surgeon will cut a part of your lip and place an implant.
14. Chin augmentation or mentoplasty
    • In most cases, chin augmentation includes modifying the bone's form or placing an implant into the chin. 
    • It is usually done following another cosmetic treatment; this is frequently carried out to enhance face symmetry.
15. Upper arm lift or brachioplasty
    • The skin in the upper arm region becomes loose and fat deposits cause a jelly-like movement while waving.
    •  An upper arm lift is one option in which a surgeon eliminates extra fat (typically by liposuction) and tightens the skin.
16. Thigh lift
    • A thigh lift might aid in the reduction of cellulite in the legs. A thigh lift can improve the appearance of your legs by removing excess skin and fat.
17. Cheek implant or malar augmentation
    • A cheek implant is a treatment that involves inserting an implant behind the cheekbone to give the face a fuller appearance.
18. Lower body lift
    • A lower body lift tightens the skin and removes extra fat and tissue to improve drooping regions of the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
19. Buttock lift
    • A buttock lift involves removing extra skin and tissue and raising the buttocks.
    • In rare circumstances, implants are utilized to sculpt the region.
20. Surgical scar revision
    • Plastic surgery is a series of techniques used to reduce the visibility of scars. Because of the high prevalence of injuries caused by accidents, assault, and other unfavorable conditions, these operations are prevalent. 
    • Although surgical scar revision reduces scar visibility, it does not and cannot remove scars.
21. Hair replacement 
    • There are several hair replacement treatments available, yet hair restoration surgery cannot help completely bald people. 
    • Candidates for hair restoration must have good hair growth on the sides and back of the head. The head's hair on the back and sides will be used as donor sites for grafts and flaps.

Surgery is not for everyone, and if any of the abovementioned treatments make you feel particularly uneasy, you may want to consider nonsurgical options, such as the following:

• Fillers and injectables
  • Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, and Dysport are well-known brand-name fillers and injectables. Based on your needs and medical history, your facial plastic surgeon will choose the best therapy for you.
  • Injectable dermal fillers are a safe alternative because they are made up of naturally occurring proteins and chemicals that your body already generates, such as hyaluronic acid.
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment or vampire facial
  • PRP entails removing small volumes of blood from various places of your body (usually your arm or thigh). The blood is then centrifuged to separate the plasma from the platelets. The plasma is then injected into specific parts of your face where therapy is required.
• Fat grafting
  • Fat cells are collected from various places of your body (the arms, thighs, or legs) and injected into multiple areas of your face that require therapy. 
  • Fat grafting is used to fill up depressed cheeks and is often used as a lip filler. Because the filler is derived from your body, there is no risk of an adverse response to this surgery.
• Chemical peels
  • By basically "peeling" off the top layer of skin, chemical peels exfoliate the skin on the neck and face to decrease the appearance of wrinkles, erase imperfections, and provide a smoother and more radiant outcome.

Plastic surgery is a specialty of medicine that deals with the reconstruction, modification, and repair of various aspects of the human body. It enhances a person's look and may aid in the functionality of specific physical components.

Plastic surgery can be classified into the following two types:

1. Reconstructive surgery: These surgeries are used to address numerous problems in the body, such as trauma injuries, physical birth defects, ear deformities, and cleft lips.
2. Cosmetic surgery: Is used to change the appearance of a physical component. The most common cosmetic surgery operations include nose reconstruction, fat removal from some regions of the body, and breast contouring.

More than 150,000 plastic surgery procedures are performed every day, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Many people are terrified of being in discomfort or having to live with their scars following a treatment. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries have risks that should be discussed with the doctor before making a decision.

• Common side effects from a cosmetic procedure
  • Pain
  • Bleeding
  • Inflammation
  • Cuts
  • Postoperative scarring
• Common side effects from a reconstructive procedure
  • Back pain
  • Possible bruising
  • Blood loss
  • Bleeding
  • Painful breast exams and other screening tests may be required for this surgery
  • Anesthetic and painkillers may be necessary to ease the pain from these procedures

In comparison to other procedures, plastic surgery has been a comparatively safe procedure. However, studies report that one in every 10,000 surgeries results in death due to complications from plastic surgery. Infection, severe bleeding, and problems with other surgical operations are among the most serious dangers. A good plastic surgeon, on the other hand, will treat and care for these disorders before and after surgery. In most circumstances, these problems can be avoided with prevention and aftercare.
