    We all like to look good, however a growing number of people are now having cosmetic surgery in order to improve their physical appearance. Although some people need reconstructive surgery after illness or accidents, many people are now choosing to have an operation solely for cosmetic reasons.
    Nose reshaping surgery, also known as rhinoplasty or a 'nose job', is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures across the world.  The majority of people who have a nose job do it for cosmetic reasons (to look good). However, other people request it to fix breathing problems and to help alleviate snoring .
    Rhinoplasty was first developed in ancient India, by the physician Sushruta. The surgeon and his medical students developed plastic surgical techniques for rebuilding noses and earlobes. These had been amputated for religious, criminal, or military punishment.  Nowadays, most ‘nose jobs’ involve making the nose smaller or slimmer. Many patients want their surgeon to remove unwanted lumps or bumps.
    A lot of people want to lose weight. Achieving the look they want needs healthy eating and regular exercise. However, even after exercising and eating well, some people have areas of fat around their bodies. Liposuction surgery, also known as fat removal surgery, is designed to help remove these areas of fat and reshape particular areas of the body.
    The usual areas of the body that can be treated with liposuction surgery include: arms, thighs, stomach, hips, buttocks, knees and the chin. However, liposuction surgery can be done to any area of the body. Liposuction is often used at the same time as other cosmetic surgery procedures such as the tummy tuck, breast reduction and male chest reduction.
    Another well-known cosmetic procedure is the ‘face lift’.  Signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles , loose skin, crow’s feet and brown spots are part of getting older. Many people try to reverse these signs of aging with the help of face lift surgery.
    Face lift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is one of the most commonly requested procedures by both men and women who want to look younger. It is done to remove the skin that has lost its natural elasticity (usually around the eyes, mouth and jaw line). It also makes the skin tighter, reduces lines and wrinkles and rejuvenates a tired-looking appearance.
    Like all surgical procedures, cosmetic surgery has risks . When cosmetic surgery goes wrong, patients can end up dead or disfigured . If a face lift doesn’t work properly, the patient can be left with scarring , an involuntary facial tic or they may not be able to close their mouth or eyes properly.  Breast implant operations have been known to leave women with terrible scarring or different sized breasts.
    Although plastic surgeons can earn a lot of money, in some cases they decline to operate on some patients. This is sometimes because they think the person does not need the surgery. Surgeons can also decline a patient because their medical history, such as high blood pressure, can make the operation too risky.
    With such risks, you would think that many people would stop having cosmetic surgery but you would be wrong. In fact, the number of people using surgery to improve their appearance is growing every year. It seems we humans are a vain species and many of us won’t allow price, or medical risks, to stand in our way!
