Aesthetic procedures must be strictly distinguished from the reconstructive surgery, because the reconstructive one deals with functional improvements and so its procedures belong to the health services group and are covered by the health insurance.
Classic, aesthetic surgery on the body are formations of body parts of the patient in order to improve his look as well as to enhance his self-confidence.
The most common cosmetic surgeries on the body are:
Breast augmentation using implants - the most commonly performed operation. Breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants began to run in the early 60’s, and is one of the youngest fields of the aesthetic surgery. Since then silicone implants were incorporated to millions of women.
Breast lift - is a lift of sagging breast after pregnancy or rapid weight loss. In this case no tissue is removed.
Breast reduction - is regarded as an aesthetic or a functional correction. Very often, large breasts can increase the stress on women's spine. In this reduction treatment breasts are reduced and lifted.
Liposuction – a suction lipectomy to remove fat.
Abdominoplasty – a correction treatment which results are not possible to achieve with the liposuction. This process involves the removal of excess skin and fat tissue. This surgery is often used after pregnancy or rapid weight loss.
