Plastic, cosmetic, or aesthetic surgery is so popular because people want to feel good about themselves. When people feel that they look good their self-esteem and confidence often rises. Cosmetic surgery is more socially acceptable than ever before and advances in medicine have made it safer. It also costs less than before. 97% of patients who have undergone plastic surgery report that they not only have higher self esteem but that their quality of life has improved.
Cosmetic surgery procedures are very common today. But aesthetic, or cosmetic surgery, has been performed since the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. In fact there is evidence of birth defects being corrected, correction of disfigurements that occurred as punishment for a crime or injuries that happened during war. For as long as there have been people, they have wanted to look their best.
Once upon a time, cosmetic surgery was seen as a vanity. It was only for the rich and famous. Today, with the societal pressure to look beautiful, more people than ever are undergoing plastic surgery. Also, most cosmetic surgery used to be considered in the realm of women's surgery. More men are having cosmetic surgery today than in the past. And age isn't a factor any more, either. Even teens have plastic surgery. The most common cosmetic surgeries performed are:
- "A Nose Job" - or rhinoplasty, is less invasive than some cosmetic procedures, and can go a long way in improving a person's appearance.
- Liposuction - is number two on the popularity list of cosmetic surgeries. Many people (particularly Americans) are significantly overweight. It's become so popular because the results are usually excellent.
- Eyebrow lifts - Over time, it's common for people's eyes to acquire a tired look. As the eyes are the thing we automatically look to when we speak to someone, it is no surprise that people would feel self-conscious if the area around the eyes doesn't look as nice as it could do.
- Breast enlargements - rank four on the list. Implants are safer since the media scares of the '90s and this relatively simple procedure can really boost a woman's confidence.
- Facelifts - are the last on the list. Most patients are very happy that they have had a face lift. However, a facelift is a very intrusive procedure and necessitates a fairly long time for recovery.
