As days go by, the negative connotation and stigma associated with cosmetic surgeries are diminishing. Women today are more comfortable making changes in their bodies. With advancements in technology, the risks and side effects too are reducing. Here are the top most popular cosmetic surgery procedures among women.

1. Fat grafting or autologous fat transfer
In this procedure, doctors remove excess fat from one part and fill up another which needs it. Fat transfer uses multiple techniques. Non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures are used for simple transfers to wrinkles, lips, or sunken skin. However, butt lifts can be complicated and will need multiple procedures.

Doctors are contemplating the possibility of fat grafting as an alternative to complicated, sometimes risky, breast augmentation surgeries that require implanting a foreign body in women, exposing them to cancer risk. Those who opt for fat transfers have to verify the credentials and experience of the surgeons.

2. Invasive fillers
Botox spearheaded the popularity of non-surgical options for plastic as well as cosmetic surgery. Another such procedure that is catching up among women is the eyelid lift or blepharoplasty. Cosmetic surgery reduces the bags under the lower eyelids or the excess skin on the upper eyelids. It can also be done during old age if the sagging eyelids disrupt eyesight.

Vampire facial is another non-invasive procedure that extracts plasma cells from your body and injects them under the skin to reconstruct vaginal damage after childbirth. It is also used for hair transplanting.

3. Body contouring
Body contouring combines both traditional plastic surgery skills and modern non-invasive technologies for fat reduction. Contouring is done for people whose skin begins to sag. Women are naturally prone to saggy breasts, lower abdomen, and skin in the upper arms as they grow older. It adds to the changes that happen after childbirth. Doctors use liposuction and other surgical methods to reduce fat and cut away the excess skin. The tummy tuck and breast lift are some common examples of body contouring.

If people with high BMI or extremely obese lose weight (either through lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery), the excess skin begins to flap all over the body. Body contouring helps them to get rid of excess skin and fat.

4. Cool sculpting
Double chin or jowls are common as one grows older or obese. Doctors either freeze the fat and kill the fat cells, reducing about one-fourth of the fat in a particular area. Another form of cool sculpting uses muscle toners, which helps build muscles. A third option is to inject deoxycholic acid under the chin, which breaks down the fat, absorbs it, and reduces the double chin.

Remember that everyone should understand the limitations of such cosmetic surgical procedures and realize that no surgery will make them look better unless they begin to accept themselves. That is why most cosmetic surgeons offer counseling before and after such surgical procedures.
