The United States keep recording an increasing number of patients having plastic surgery every year. As more people attempt to change their looks due to medical reasons or a simple desire to improve their appearance, there are some plastic surgeries that stand out as the most popular procedures. While a growing number of men are turning to plastic surgery, it is still viewed as a predominantly female decision.
Let’s look at some of the most popular plastic surgery procedures for women
Popular Female Plastic Surgery Procedures
- Breast implants change the size, shape and look of a person’s breast. The cliché for the longest time when discussing breast implants was the image of female patients emerging from the surgery with giant breasts. In some cases, women go for a surgery that increases their cup size dramatically while a good number of patients are electing to have implants that increase their size in a more subtle manner. Female patients who do this subtle increase do not draw as much attention to the fact that they’ve undergone any type of implant surgery. Some women also feel sexier with the smaller rise in size as opposed to feeling more visible with bigger implants.
- Facelifts eliminate wrinkles and also remove jowls that are caused by the aging process. Many female patients choose a facelift to “turn back the hands of time” for a more youthful exterior. Facelifts also remove excess facial skin and it is usually done as an outpatient procedure. The 2-5 hour procedure is one of the top ten procedures in the United States for female patients.
- Rhinoplasty is the official name for the procedure most people commonly refer to as a “nose job”. There are many reasons for rhinoplasty including a change in nose size, a change in the angle of the nose, straightening of the bridge, reshaping of the tip and narrowing of the nostrils. People get rhinoplasty to heal their nose after an injury or to correct breathing problems. Some patients think their nose is too big or they don’t like the appearance of their nose. Rhinoplasty can be done using a closed procedure where the incisions are hidden inside the nose or an open procedure where an incision is made across the columella so any incision scars can be seen on the outside of the nose
- Butt augmentation has grown in popularity thanks to celebrities like Kim Kardashian who made this plastic surgery trend famous. According to the ASPS, procedures related to the rear end in 2015 include buttock augmentation with fat grafting (BBL or Brazilian butt lift), butt lift and butt implants. It sometimes seems like there is no limit to how much augmentation is acceptable during a procedure but patients need to make sure their final results are natural in appearance.
- Breast reduction surgery is often more of a medical issue for women having the procedure. Women who have back troubles, neck pain and other physical symptoms due to their large breasts seek to have their breasts reduced to alleviate the pain. It is also called reduction mammoplasty which is the re-establishing of a functional bust that is proportional to the woman’s body.
- Botox is an injection given to the patient in their face to get rid of wrinkles, crow’s feet and forehead lines. Botox is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by paralyzing the underlying muscles. Also, people use Botox to treat excessive sweating, muscular disorders and some bladder and bowel disorders. Botox will not cure wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity. Having a Botox injection is different from having a facelift in that the results aren’t permanent so a regular series of injections are needed to maintain the results.
- Lip fillers aim to alter the appearance of the lips by increasing their fullness using fillers. It is more popular among women with thinner lips because it fulfills their dream of having the fullness of the lips that they previously lacked. The popularity of this procedure can be linked to celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Angelina Jolie because they are the ones most patients reference when making the decision to have their lips filled.
- Liposuction is a procedure designed to remove fat from a variety of areas on the body. The patient can choose which areas of the body they wish to have the fat removed from during the procedure. Patients who have liposuction need to be within 30\\\\\% of their ideal weight and also have firm and elastic skin. Although liposuction removes fat from the treated area, it is not a weight loss method.
Female Plastic Surgery Patients Consultation Appointment
It is important for surgeons to determine if a patient is a viable candidate before performing any plastic surgery procedures. Female patients need to schedule a consultation appointment with a board-certified surgeon so the doctor can examine the patient to make sure she is an ideal patient for the desired plastic surgery procedure.
