20 Apr The Top 5 Scottsdale Plastic Surgery Standouts
It’s a fact – cosmetic procedures have become mainstream, and the five standouts as the most popular are: breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and facelifts. Social media, with its filters and skin smoothing apps have, undoubtedly, played a role in feeding the frenzy with the pressure to be “all that” mounting.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons tells us that just last year there were almost 1.8 million cosmetic surgeries performed. And most of the procedures involved fillers and facelifts. Additionally they have found an increase in requests for fat transfers.
Breast Augmentation (up 4 % from 2016)
Today, breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed. After being around for years, the procedure is considered relatively safe and successful and can be customized to the individual. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to change the size and shape of the breasts. The procedure usually involves the placement of implants into the breast tissue to give the breasts more volume and fullness.
Liposuction (up 6% since 2016)
Liposuction is a very common procedure that removes fat from your body by using suction. During liposuction, small, thin, blunt-tipped tubes (cannula) are inserted through tiny cuts in the skin. Fat is suctioned out through these tubes. While moving the tubes around beneath the skin, your doctor is able to target specific areas of fat deposits. This results in improved techniques and doctors having now years of experience with liposuction, the procedure has become safer, easier, and less painful.
Rhinoplasty (up 2% since 2016)
Also commonly known as a “nose job,” this procedure is used to shape, angle and generally improve the structure of your nose. The problems within the structure of the nose that restrict breathing and cause congestion can be corrected. Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that can have a huge impact on a person’s self-image and self-esteem.
Eyelid Surgery (up 2% since 2016)
Eyelid surgery is also known as blepharoplasty. This is a very common surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of the eyelids as well as the function of the eyelids. Surgery can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids or both. Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, such as weighted down eyelids (making seeing difficult) eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.
Facelifts (up 4% since 2016)
A rhytidectomy, or facelift, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck area. A facelift can help with:
- Sagging – caused by relaxation of the face?
- Marionettes lines, which are the deepening of the fold lines between the nose and corner of the mouth
- Plumpness that has fallen or has disappeared
- Sagging jowls
- Loose skin and excess fat of the neck that can appear as a double chin or “turkey neck”
