Plastic surgeries are not limited to celebrities and the glamor industry anymore and are gaining popularity among common people. The most popular plastic surgeries are undertaken for both cosmetic and medical reasons, and the number of surgeries performed is increasing every year. While dermal fillers, botox, and breast augmentation have been around for a while, several other procedures have made their way to the list of popular plastic surgeries. Here’s a look at the list:

1. Breast augmentation
This type of plastic surgery uses breast implants, or fat from other body parts is transferred to increase breast size. It is one of the most common plastic surgeries in the country. Women who opt for this surgery either have small breasts, have lost volume after having children, or want to undergo reconstruction after an injury.

2. Liposuction
This procedure is used to shape and contour specific areas of the body through the removal of fat. There are two types of liposuction with unique procedures: tumescent and Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL). The first type involves constricting the blood vessels in the area to be treated, after which it is suctioned out along with the fat. UAL involves using instruments called cannulas to release ultrasonic energy and melt fat to have it suctioned out.

3. Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck)
Most commonly referred to as tummy tuck, this procedure involves getting rid of the excess skin sagging around the tummy to tone the abdominal area. Women often opt for a tummy tuck after pregnancy.

4. Reduction mammaplasty (Breast reduction)
This procedure is used to reduce breast size when it causes chronic back pain. Additionally, women commonly opt for this popular plastic surgery to make the upper body look more proportioned. And the good news is that this procedure isn’t considered cosmetology, so it is covered by insurance.

5. Rhinoplasty
Commonly referred to as a nose job, rhinoplasty involves contouring the nose. It reduces the size and sharpens specific areas to complement the structure of the face. If rhinoplasty is opted for after an injury or to overcome obstruction in breathing, insurance should cover the whole cost of the surgery.

6. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid reshaping)
Eyelid surgery helps lift the saggy skin around the eyes to improve the appearance, and it also improves vision in some cases. Vision can be easily compromised if there’s loose skin around the eyes, which tends to sag and cover the eye.

7. Rhytidectomy (Facelift)
This surgical procedure aids in smoothening deep aging lines and wrinkles and tightens the skin. It provides a more youthful appearance by making the skin more toned, and facelift surgeries are often combined with eyelid shaping and forehead lifts.

8. Forehead lift
A forehead lift surgery helps smoothen creases, furrow lines, and wrinkles to provide more toned skin. This surgery also helps lift the eyebrows and improves the hooded eye appearance. Elevated eyebrows and a smooth forehead result in a younger appearance.
