Cosmetic (or Aesthetic) Surgery is a branch of Plastic Surgery whose field is vast and includes shape and function restoration of some deficiencies. Cosmetic Surgery is more then just improving the appearance of a face and body that are already acceptable. It is about bringing your face and body closer to the physical attributes of an ideal human being. This ideal human being varies by culture, ethnic background and trends. Beauty, harmony, proportions and rejuvenation are words that can be associated with Cosmetic Surgery.
Many procedures - surgical and non-surgical - are available in the pursuit of Cosmetic Surgery goals. The most popular ones are described in our Procedures section. The rigorous principles of surgery in general, and reconstructive surgery in particular, are applied to Cosmetic Surgery. Those principles are acquired through extensive professional training of five years or more. That is why you should always request that the physician who will perform cosmetic surgery on you be a certified plastic surgeon.
Candidates for cosmetic surgery should take time to learn about the procedure involved, so that they can better participate in the decisions that affect them very personally. They should know about the advantages as well as the risks of any surgery. Full and frank discussion with the surgeon will result in an informed candidate with realistic expectations.
