While cosmetic surgeries are often associated with beauty and aesthetics, they also serve the purpose of improving people's faces, reducing their injury scars, and boosting their self-esteem. While cosmetic surgery is often associated with beauty, it goes much beyond that. One may undergo this surgery to correct any perceived flaw or imperfection on their body; it aims to improve an individual's appearance via surgical techniques.

And while it is true that many people consider cosmetic surgeries to be purely aesthetic, it can have lasting emotional and psychological effects on people who want to enhance their self-esteem and boost confidence. Cosmetic surgeries are different types of 'elective procedures' that range from breast augmentation to liposuction, and even facelifts. Dr Siddharth Prakash, a cosmetic and plastic surgeon at Lilavati Hospital says whether it is about reducing signs of aging, removing excess body fat, getting rid of unwanted scars, or correcting injury-related marks, cosmetic surgery can offer solutions.



"It boosts self-assurance and self-worth, allowing a patient to feel more at ease in their professional, personal, and social lives. It can also contribute to improved overall well-being," the doctor says. Read on to find out about the six types of cosmetic procedures for the face.

Face-lift Or Rhytidectomy Dr Prakash explains that it is a surgery that 'lifts and firms' the sagging skin on the face. "As you grow older, your facial skin loses elasticity and develops wrinkles and deep lines. This surgery corrects the sagging of facial and neck skin, reduces wrinkles and the appearance of folds and lines, and tightens the muscles of the face and neck.

" Rhinoplasty This surgery, the expert states, is aimed at 'reshaping the nose' for either cosmetic or functional purposes. It is a cosmetic and reconstructive surgery designed to alter the shape, size, and structure of the nose. It usually gets rid of humps on the nasal bridge, making the nose tip better.

It also changes the shape and size of the nostrils, improving breathing problems, and correcting deformities of any kind. var firstScrolled3 = false; window.addEventListener("scroll",(event) => { if(!firstScrolled3) {window.

_taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({ mode: "thumbnails-m", container: "taboola-mid-article-thumbnails", placement: "Mid Article Thumbnails", target_type: "mix" }); firstScrolled3 = true; } }); Blepharoplasty Or Eyelid Surgery It is usually done to improve the appearance of eyelids .

It can remove extra, loose skin from the upper eyelid and to correct under-eye bags and sagging of the lower eyelid. Buccal Fat Removal This procedure is done to make the face thin, especially the cheeks; it is also known as buccal fat pad reduction or cheek reduction surgery. The doctor explains that excess of buccal fat deposits in the lower cheeks can make your face look round.

Buccal fat pad reduction reduces the size of your cheeks and makes you feel less aged. It gives your face a sculpted look. Fat Transfer To Face A type of face lift surgery -- but without scars -- it restores lost volume on your face, thereby reducing under-eye depressions and dark circles.

It can also significantly reduce wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation, acne scars and other marks. Dimple Creation Yes, this is a real surgery and many people actually opt for it. It is done to give you dimples on the cheeks, and it is also known as 'dimpleplasty' or 'dimple surgery'.

It can give you natural and playful dimples on one or both cheeks, the doctor explains..
