Plastic surgery includes both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. While cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal body parts in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem, Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal body parts in order to improve their functions, and possibly rectify abnormal appearance.
The approximate surgery time for each surgery differs. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck takes 2-3 hours; Botox takes just about 10 minutes and can be performed on an outpatient basis. Breast augmentation takes about an hour as compared to a breast lift or reduction which could take 2-3 hours.
Chin augmentation or correction takes about an hour just the same as an eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. Droopy or Baggy eyelids can also be corrected. A face lift takes a little longer than the others approximately 3-4 hours. Liposuction is again subjective to what areas need to be worked on. It could be loose hanging flesh all over the body or it could be just one body part; so it could take 1-4 hours or even longer. Nose augmentation or rhinoplasty takes about an hour as compared to a nose reduction which could take 1-2 hours.
The renowned plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Pasadena centers are known for performing delicate procedures with ease.

Injectables
The future of plastic surgery according to a renowned surgeon will be about injecting stem cells into the target body areas. The key to achieving a most natural-looking face lift is all abut adding fat to areas that have lost volume, not tightening the face.
It is possible to use a patient’s own fat to restore volume and youthfulness to the face. It has been discovered that not only does fat help give back volume to weakened and aging facial structures, but it also rejuvenates the skin because it contains stem cells.
The future lowdown on the future of plastic surgery will be all about stem cells and scar-less procedures that require no incisions. There are different and varied injectables used today. They range from Botox to Fillers such as Collagen, Restylane, Radiesse. There are also chemical peels and Chemabrasion used. Though these chemical peels are made up of different chemicals.
We have phenol peel, TCA peel, Glycolic & Salicyclic Acid peel, or Retinoid Compounds.Collage, Restylane and Radiesse are used to fill the wrinkles and creases in the face. These are temporary procedures and products, they need to be repeated every few months.

Liposuction
Cosmetic surgery has taken a new perspective and has a whole new meaning with our celebrities (Hollywood and Bollywood) today opting for it like a necessity. Sometimes they are not even done for correction. These surgeries, no doubt, change the look. The minor changes which make a major difference.
Rhinoplasty or nose surgery, breast lifts, breast reduction, breast implants and liposuction are the most commonly opted for cosmetic surgeries. One does not necessarily have to be fat for a liposuction; cellulite could also be due to fatty deposits.
Sometimes on losing too much of weight the skin starts sagging and falling loose. No amount of exercise or gyming (does not exist in the dictionary but seems apt) can help sagging or loose skin. Only the removal of fat like a tummy tuck or a thigh lift can alter the situation and can reduce the appearance of cellulite to an extent.
If one can one should avoid weight gain in the first place, though ofcourse it is sometimes genetic and sometimes there are reasons like hyperthyroidism that can’t be prevented. In a study reported in the journal Clinical Endocrinology, the researchers studied 162 people with hyperthyroidism for six months.
Those who already were overweight, whose hyperthyroidism was caused by Graves Disease, or who had lost weight prior to diagnosis all had similar amounts of weight gain, which was approximately 5 to 5.5 kg (11 to 12 pounds) over the six months during which they were treated with antithyroid drugs for radioactive iodine. There are some unavoidable reasons.
Liposuction is kind of a cosmetic surgery performed to remove localized fat deposits from different parts of the body. You can aim at a specific area and have fat removed. This kind of fat is difficult to lose with dieting or exercise.
Though there is a false notion that liposuction is a treatment for obesity. This surgery is primarily performed to remove fatty deposits or loose sagging skin from a particular area. There is enough skin left back which does not disrupt the body configuration and adds value to the body silhouette.

Calf Augmentation
Calf implants are as common as any other surgery. They help enhance body shape and structure. Who wouldn’t want more shapely calves? Calf implants though are carried out for enhancement of beauty, most often than not they are carried out for medical reasons.
This is one instance in which you can’t pull someone’s leg coz its serious business, calf implantation. It is suppose to be one of the most painful surgeries as stated by some. Unlike the other plastic or cosmetic surgeries this surgery requires stronger pain killers and the recovery period is accompanied with excruciating pain.
Today we have professionally qualified plastic surgeons with years of experience to prove that these surgeries though are a little more painful than the other surgeries, we still have people opting for it in abundance.
Our cosmetic surgeons make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. You could visit our Beverly Hills, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Pasadena and Los Angeles centers for more information.
As per the doctors the best surgery for calf implantation are a couple of techniques used in combination. We have had some remarkable developments in the recent years – the ball dissector and the hammer dissector. These instruments have made life and calf implant surgeries relatively easier and more comfortable.
As stated these instruments help to prevent the occasional muscular laceration and the uncontrollable bleeding that were problematic with other instruments used by surgeons during calf implantation in the past.
It is important to know that only semisolid silicone implants are used in the United States today. One has to make sure that this is what your surgeon uses too. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported 3,385 buttock augmentation procedures, 1,734 pectoral augmentations and 1,170 calf augmentation surgeries, though these figures are as old as 2002 and 2003.
Today we have come a long way. When it comes to walking correctly on your own two feet there is no compromise. Calf augmentation surgery too has become commonplace.
