Types of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery

Many times people think that Beverly Hills plastic surgery consists of face lifts and breast augmentations only. However, there are actually more than ten distinctly different plastic surgery procedures that are commonly done. While it is true that a lot of plastic surgery has to do with the facial region, not all plastic surgery done on the face is considered a face lift. Just as the face is one region of the body that can have multiple different procedures performed, the breast, and the body are other regions where multiple different types of surgery are performed.

On the facial region, some of the common types of Beverly Hills plastic surgery include the facelift, the browlift, the eyelift, and rhinoplasty. The facelift, being the most common and well-known, is simply a technique where the doctor makes incisions around the ears and within the hair on the scalp in order to tighten both the skin and deeper tissues of the face. This is usually done to fix part of the face that droop or sag more than what individuals would prefer.

A browlift is very closely associated with a facelift and is exactly what the title describes it is when the doctor makes various incisions in order to lift a drooping or dragging brow (a very common sign of aging). An eyelift (know as Blepharoplasty) is performed in order to treat the droopiness or fullness of either the upper or lower eyelids. Rhinoplasty, or more commonly referred to as a nose-job, is when a doctor reshapes the cartilage and the bone inside your nose.

In the breast region, there are typically three different procedures that are common: breast augmentation, breast lift, and Gynecomastia (or male breast surgery). People have breast augmentations for many different reasons. Some do want larger breasts, but some may desire to replace breast contour that can be lost during pregnancy. Basically, in the procedure, an implant is placed underneath the breast tissue in order to enlarge the area, and incisions can be made in three different areas depending on the size and shape of the person.

A breast lift is different from an augmentation in that a lift is done in order to fix a sagging breast, which may be caused by age or pregnancy. In this procedure, the skin is tightened in order to give the area a younger look and sometimes the doctor will insert and implant in order to make the area larger. Finally, Beverly Hills plastic surgery is not only for women. Many men, over time, have excess skin or fat develop on there chest and want it removed. This issue is called gynecomastia, and can be fixed through excisional surgery, liposuction, or a combination of both procedures.

The two most common forms of plastic surgery are liposuction and a tummy tuck. Liposuction is actually the most common form of plastic surgery, mainly because it tends to be successful and most people have parts of their body they wish were thinner. The most common areas to perform liposuction are the neck, chin, abdomen, love handles, hips, thighs and calves. Do not confuse liposuction with a Tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty). Abdominoplasty is specifically for the stomach region of your body and involves an incision near the bikini or boxer line of a person. The purpose of the tummy tuck may be the same as liposuction, the procedure is very different.

As you can tell, there is more to plastic surgery than meets the eye. Because of this, it is very important that you do as much research as possible and understand which Beverly Hills plastic surgery option would be the best for you.
