Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. The word “plastic” is derived from the Greek plastikos meaning to mould or to shape; it is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic.

Aesthetic plastic surgery involves techniques intended for the “enhancement” of appearance through surgical and medical techniques. It is specifically concerned with maintaining and restoring normal appearance, or enhancing it beyond the average level toward some aesthetic ideal. Media and advertising play a large influence why a lot of people are willing to undergo plastic surgery; however researchers believe that some plastic surgery obsession can also be linked to psychological disorders like Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It is a disorder in which a person is obsessed in achieving physical perfection. People with this disorder are so preoccupied with their looks that it takes over their lives.

Each year millions of men and women look into getting cosmetic or plastic surgery done to some part of their bodies. It has become a common choice for people who are unsatisfied with their bodies and need a way to feel better and more confident once and for all. If you are one of these people and feel like plastic surgery is something that could be a positive aspect in your life, then you will want to know as much about it as possible, along with what you want done. Before you step foot in a doctor’s office, you will want to have a specific idea of what you want done and have your mind made up. Often times plastic surgeons will try to change your mind or convince you to have certain work done that is more expensive than what you already had in mind. Stay strong and confident in what you want and don’t let anyone else convince you otherwise, even if it’s a doctor.

Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person’s appearance and ability to function. Plastic surgeons strive to improve patients’ appearance and self-image through both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.

Reconstructive procedures correct defects on the face or body. These include physical birth defects like cleft lips and palates and ear deformities, traumatic injuries like those from dog bites or burns, or the aftermath of disease treatments like rebuilding a woman’s breast after surgery for breast cancer.
Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body that the person is not satisfied with. Common cosmetic procedures include making the breasts larger (augmentation mammoplasty) or smaller (reduction mammoplasty), reshaping the nose (rhinoplasty), and removing pockets of fat from specific spots on the body (liposuction). Some cosmetic procedures aren’t even surgical in the way that most people think of surgery — that is, cutting and stitching. For example, the use of special lasers to remove unwanted hair and sanding skin to improve severe scarring are two such treatments. Read the rest of this entry

Plastic Surgery

Aesthetic surgery, a surgical science to beautify one’s appearance (popularly known as cosmetic surgery), has developed to a stage where it can now dare to give finishing touches to god’s most beautiful creation-the human body. But unfortunately most of us remain ignorant to what wonders the art of cosmetic surgery can do.

Just because the name includes the word “plastic” doesn’t mean patients who have this surgery end up with a face full of fake stuff. The name isn’t taken from the synthetic substance but from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold (and which gives the material plastic its name as well).

Read my previous question even though it got cut off I’l just mention procedures I want.

Hairline lowering, nose job, acne/acne scar removal, chin and jaw job, liposuction on my cheeks/lips/ other parts of my face, cheekbone implants, and veneers.

I’m also thinking of getting eyelid surgery to open up my eyes a bit they’re not closed but they just seem chinky and dull sometimes, and I also might get botox/collagen injections on some parts of my face so they don’t sag as much and seem dull. I might also get fat injections around my body because I’m really really skinny, probably due to my nutrition which is/would be (hopefully) explain in the next paragraph(s).

When me and my bf started dating I was 16 and he was 21. I don’t know why he got with me but I had low self-esteem (thank you media!) so I put up with a lot of bull that I now regret. He pretty much would call me ugly to my face and thought it was funny cuz I would laugh too (low self esteem) and I knew he was embarrassed of me cuz he never took me out with his friends.

Since I was in middle school I’ve wanted a nose job and my bf says stupid things like ‘I love you even though you have a big nose’. I just want people not notice my huge nose first! When I imagine how it will be to get it fixed I start tearing up b/c I want it so BAD!
