According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, during 2011 more than 9 million surgical and nonsurgical procedures were carried out across the nation. These were cosmetic procedures, and the data represents a one percent increase on the previous year, and close to a 200 percent increase since 1997. Just why do so many people want cosmetic procedures? It would seem that we want to be, and look, healthier as we age, and for that reason we are turning our attention to how our eyes work, the quality of our teeth, and the appearance of our skin in a bid, perhaps, to stay younger for longer.

Liposuction

The most popular surgical procedure is liposuction, where areas of fat deposits are removed from the body and sometimes ultrasound is used to break down stubborn fat cells. This helps participants to achieve a leaner look. The favorite nonsurgical intervention is an injection with Botox to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Both of these procedures are designed to help people feel better about the way they look.

Breast augmentation

Many women opt to change the shape and look of their breasts when they age using implants, while for nonsurgical interventions, changes to skin remain a firm favorite – with soft tissue filters, including hyaluronic acid, very popular if you want to keep wrinkles at bay.

Healthy teeth and gums

Cosmetic dentistry can help with correcting a number of undesirable features, including when enamel has become chipped and discolored, or when you want to replace darker-colored fillings with porcelain or other materials that are a good match with your teeth color. Nowadays, smile makeovers involve laser treatments, which are more comfortable for patients and have a reduced recovery time.

Laser eye surgery

Just as you want to keep your teeth and gums in good condition, your eyes are also vital to your health and wellbeing. Although wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses are options, these can be awkward and frustrating, particularly if you are keen on healthy sporting activity and swimming. Instead, your doctor may recommend blade free LASIK in Dallas, Texas or in other US city locations.

Tummy tucks and eyelid surgery

An enduring favorite procedure, a tummy tuck involves tightening the abdominal wall, bringing muscle and tissue together using sutures. This helps to remove sagging skin and is known as an abdominoplasty. If your eyes have been treated to eye surgery to clear up any imperfections, you might want to opt for a blepharoplasty, which will remove excess skin on your eyelids and puffy skin under your eyes.

What is most interesting about today’s trends is the number of people who are attracted by the opportunity to deal with annoying bodily issues or put right some of the side effects of ageing that they find disagreeable. It seems that making the most of yourself is definitely an option, no matter what your age.
