Cosmetic surgery is a type of surgery where the person chooses to have an operation or invasive medical process, to change the physical appearance, not for any medical reason but cosmetic purposes. The non-surgical cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers and Botox are used to fill up the crease lines. These procedures do not involve surgery but have risks associated with them. Unlike, plastic surgery, the principles, techniques and procedures of cosmetic surgery focus entirely on enhancing the appearance of the patient, and not for any serious medical issue. It can be used for improving the aesthetic appeal, proportion and symmetry of the patients. Also known as aesthetic surgery, cosmetic surgery can be performed on head, body and neck. Some of the types are:
- Breast enhancement in the form of augmentation, reduction and lift
