Cosmetic Surgery

If you're considering cosmetic plastic surgery, please ask your plastic surgeon for further information about the particular procedure and what you expect.

The main cosmetic methods which are performed by various people involve Mastopexy, Cheek Augmentation, Buttock Augmentation, Augmentation Mammaplasty, Mesotherapy, Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Abdominoplasty and many more.

What is the difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery?

Plastic surgery can be divided into two main categories: cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery.  During cosmetic surgery, you take a body part that is within a range of normal appearance, and you try to improve it.  For example, a 60 year old man may have a face that is normal for a 60-year-old.  When he gets a face lift, he is trying to improve the appearance of something that was basically normal to begin with.  That's cosmetic surgery. 

So cosmetic surgery is a subset of plastic surgery.  It still makes sense to use the terms almost interchangeably, though.  If you have a rhinoplasty, you can say that you had cosmetic surgery, or you can accurately say that you had plastic surgery.
