There are many people who are unhappy with their appearance. Some people live with the things that they don’t like and try to learn to love themselves the way they are. There are some people who take action and they have cosmetic surgery. Below is a list of the most common procedures performed by Dallas plastic surgeons.
#1 Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty is a procedure performed on people with excess skin on their eye lids. For some, this excess skin impairs their vision. For others, the excess skin gives them a baggy appearance. The excess skin, the bags, and the dark circles under the eyes make them look much older than they are. Many people have this procedure performed to make them look more youthful. When the surgery is performed, an incision is made in the upper or lower eyelid to remove the excess fatty tissue and skin.
#2 Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is also known as an abdominoplasty. This procedure is designed to remove any excess or saggy skin around the abdomen. To remove the excess skin, the surgeon would make an incision either above the belly button or above the pubic area. Next, the surgeon will bring the loose tissue and the muscles together with sutures to tighten the abdominal wall. When the procedure is complete, the patient would have a flatter tummy.
#3 Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, also known as breast implants is one of the most common cosmetic procedures. This procedure is designed for a woman who is unhappy with the size of her breasts. During the procedure, the surgeon would create a small incision under the pectoral muscles so that a saline or a silicone implant can be inserted. The size of the implant would depend on the woman’s choice.
#4 Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure that removes some of the fat from a person’s body. The fat deposits are removed using a hollow metal suction tube that is passed through the fatty tissue in the patient’s body. If the surgeon is having trouble removing the fatty tissue, an ultrasound would be used to break it up.
#5 Botox
Botox is relatively inexpensive and it is a very common cosmetic procedure. During this procedure, the surgeon would use a neurotoxin in a syringe and inject it into the muscle to paralyze it to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Botox is also used to treat uncontrolled blinking, crossed eyes, muscle spasms, and hyperhidrosis, which causes a person to sweat excessively.
There are plenty of cosmetic procedures available to treat a variety of issues that a person has with their body. These are all procedures that Dallas plastic surgeons have the skill and experience to perform.
