Cosmetic surgery is a growing trend among the modern, urban people.

Everyone who considers cosmetic surgery have their own specific reasons

for undergoing this procedure.

One of the major reasons is surely to create and maintain a more youthful appearance

and escape the hands of old age. With increase in age, the skin begins

to sag, collagen production slows down and the entire body begins to

show signs of slowing or breaking down. Aging is an inevitable fact of

life and these signs do remind people of their old age and of the youth

they have left behind. For those who age quickly, these signs can make

them look older than they actually are.

This is where cosmetic surgery comes in. It tightens the skin, reshapes

it and makes it look younger. It is true that you cannot erase every

sign of aging with the help of cosmetic surgery, but it will enable you

to make yourself look refreshed and well toned. Any part of the body

can undergo cosmetic surgery to make it look younger, which is the

reason why so many people go through several surgeries in their

lifetime. After all, each body part does age at a different time and at

different rates.

Many people are born with certain physical deformities or in the course

of their life may acquire a deformity which often leads to a feeling of

inferiority. Cosmetic surgery can help in the correction of such

deformities. For example, a woman maybe born with uneven breasts and

through cosmetic surgery she might want to correct this deformity with

some sort of an augmentation.

One of the main reasons why so many people consider cosmetic surgery is

because they want to feel good about their appearance which in turn

boosts their self esteem. A woman who has small breasts may consider

cosmetic breast

augmentation surgery for reshaping this deformity for which

she might have faced ridicule in the past. While the surgery does not

boost self esteem, it helps you, at least to love your body. By taking

control of the way you look, you can correct something for which you

have been mocked

before.        

Sometimes, cosmetic surgery is not an option but a necessity. One such

example is a nose job that has to be done to treat deviated septums.

The surgery is technically rhinoplasty; it is also helping the patient

to live a more normal life. Severe burns and injuries are treated by

plastic surgeons who repair the skin in such a way that it decreases

scars and disfigurements. The patient's body cannot be restored to its

exact appearance prior to the accident, but at least it does not make

the patient feel different about him or herself in comparison with

those who look 'normal'.

For some, cosmetic surgery is a gift they present themselves with. For

example, many mothers who have newly given birth opt for tummy

tucks to return to the bodies they had prior to the pregnancy.

Even after losing weight, some parts of the body do not slim down the

way you want them to. Cosmetic surgery is perhaps the only solution to

this kind of a problem. Some parts of a woman's body cannot be changed

by exercise or diet. In these cases, cosmetic surgery is the only

option.

Cosmetic surgery

is often a gift that is given to others. While this kind of a gift is

condemned by many, it might actually turn out to be a useful gift for

some one who does want to change the way he or she looks. If they are

aware of the risks involved and yet want to go ahead and change their

appearance, this might be the most practical gift to give.
