Wisdom may come with age, but expanding waistlines and saggy skin are also part of the package—which explains why so many men and women choose to go under the knife. So which procedures will make the cut?
Who doesn’t want to look like they just stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine? But try as we might, sometimes age and slower metabolism doesn’t make it easy. So how? Will cosmetic procedures really make “life in plastic” so “fantastic” as Aqua used to sing back in the 1990s?
Well, as with everything, there are pros and cons. The benefits of plastic surgery do go beyond skin deep because it helps people to boost their confidence, secure jobs, and combat medical conditions such as obesity.
But at the end of the day, it all boils down to how you perceive yourself. Cosmetic procedures are not a cere all solution for deeper issues like depression or jealousy. Having low esteem because you are not happy with some parts of your body will eventually affect other parts of your life, so be sure to work through the issues with an encouraging support network before you take the plunge.
Having said that, let’s take a look at some popular body contouring procedures:
Liposuction (Lipoplatsy)
Do you have excess fatty tissue that is concentrated in your tummy or a potbelly that draws the eye?
Liposuction, one of the most popular surgical procedures, helps to remove excess fat cells that do not go away with exercise and diet and can be done on various parts of your body, your abdomen, chin and even your cheeks. The technique, done under general anaesthesia, involves the removal of fat through a metal tube (cannula) that is passed through the fatty tissue.
