Millions of cosmetic surgeries take place every single year with wonderful results, but many patients are still worried about the safety of these treatments. There will always be some risk when performing a surgery, but these cosmetic procedures are safer than ever with an exceptionally high rate of success. Here is a closer look at some of the most common cosmetic treatments and how they help patients look and feel their best.
Liposuction
Around 14.6 million plastic surgeries take place every single year, and over 200,000 of these surgeries are liposuction treatments. This is an invasive cosmetic procedure and it involves the use of a small rod to suck out pockets of fat. Some cosmetic surgeons now utilize lasers to melt the fat away as it is being pulled out in order to reduce swelling and bruising. The recovery time for this treatment is around two weeks.
Botox Injections
Botox is the most common minimally-invasive procedure with over six million treatments taking place every single year. This injectable actually uses a safe toxin that allows facial muscles to relax. Botox is most often used to soften fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, but it can also be used to treat chronic migraines and excessive sweating. For the average patient of Vitality Natural Wellness and Medspa, the results of Botox will last for around six months.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentations are another popular treatment that will help patients increase the size of their breasts, change the position of their breasts, or balance their left and right breasts. This procedure often involves the movement of soft tissue, but some patients do opt for breast implants as well. The recovery for this procedure can take anywhere from just a few days to a month or longer depending on how much the soft tissue is manipulated.
Tummy Tuck
No matter how often an individual exercises, it often feels impossible to get rid of the small bulge at the bottom of one’s midsection. This is why millions of patients have turned to tummy tucks in order to reshape and tighten their midsection just above their waist. Much like breast lifts, tummy tucks are primarily used to reposition the skin. This procedure can be combined with liposuction for more dramatic results, but the recovery time will increase accordingly.
These few treatments are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to removing excess fat, softening wrinkles, tightening skin, and looking years younger.
