A Facelift
Facelifts are another popular and relatively common procedure, for both men and women, with the majority of people who elect to have a facelift being aged forty-five and above.
Essentially, the core purpose of a facelift is to seek to improve the aesthetic appearance of the skin on the face and neck and to reduce the signs of aging. Common areas of the face clients ask their surgeon to focus on include deep fold lines around the lip, excess fat around the neck, jowls on the cheeks, and forehead lines. Here, buccal fat removal surgery is a prominent way to deal with Facelifts.

Breast Augmentation
Popular amongst women of all ages and body shapes, breast augmentations can provide a much-needed boost to a person’s confidence levels and even make clothing feel and look more comfortable, too.
There are many reasons why a woman may choose to undergo breast enlargement, or indeed breast reduction, surgery, including the following:
- Their breasts are too large for their body frame
- After pregnancy, the breasts are sagging and/or drooping
- A desire for larger and fuller breasts
- The desire for a younger-looking body
- An updated lift after a previous breast augmentation
4. Abdominoplasty
More commonly referred to as a ‘tummy tuck’, an abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance and the finish of the abdomen and stomach, fundamentally by removing excess skin and fat and often also tightening the stomach muscles too.
There are three different types of abdominoplasties; the mini tummy tuck, the standard tummy tuck, and the circumferential tummy tuck, the surgeon will talk you through the options and which one is best suited for what you need, if this is a surgery that you want to opt for.
5. Liposuction
The fifth and final most popular cosmetic surgery is liposuction, which is a procedure involving body contouring. In this procedure, the surgeon creates small and precise incisions along different parts of the body, although usually around the buttocks, thighs, and stomach, and inserts a cannula into the incisions to suck the fact from the specific areas.
One of the benefits of electing to have liposuction on one or more areas of the body is that, in the vast majority of cases, there is only minimal scarring once the skin has completely healed.
