Beauty - human capital

Human wealth is beauty. Due to this, a lot of individuals are making significant investments in beauty. But loveliness is hard to come by. It is not a characteristic found in all people. In fact, there are more individuals in the world who fall short of the established beauty standards than there are people who fit the bill. Even so, it is only a standard that a specific society has established; it is not absolute beauty. Absolute loveliness is much harder to achieve. It does not frequently happen spontaneously. Human beings frequently have one or more physical flaws that they absolutely detest. Even people who are acclaimed as the most beautiful in the world often struggle with one body defect or another (NHS, n.d). Until cosmetics surgery was introduced, there was no solution to bodily defects and many people were forced to live with the mistakes of nature. But things changed when science discovered numerous ways of correcting physical and visible defects on human body. Today, there are many surgical procedures designed to correct one or so bodily defects. There are people who also do cosmetic surgery to correct defects caused by the ageing process.

Body

Suitable Surgical Options available

While nearly everybody in the world desires to have a perfect body, nearly none of the human beings have it. The set standards for perfect body are too high for anybody to attain naturally. For this reason, many people are seeking ways to correct the mistakes of nature on their bodies (Torgerson, n.d). While some people are born with defects on body parts, others get them as a result of advancement in their age, or as a result of unhealthy lifestyles. Thus, one person might be having smaller or larger breasts than she desires, another might be having sagging facial muscles, and yet another might be having excess fat on the body. All these defects can be corrected. There are medically approved methods of correcting one defect or another. These correcting methods are grouped two groups, but the widely known one is surgical cosmetic procedure.

The surgical cosmetic procedures have become widely known and accepted as the best methods of correcting body defects that people do not find attractive. This is a highly specialized medical field and only properly trained doctors are accredited by various governments to perform it. By using a surgeon’s scalpel, the person performing the procedure navigates through the affected skin and corrects the defect.

There are various body parts where surgical cosmetic procedures can be performed on. Equally, there are various cosmetic procedures that can be performed on the human body. The first part of the body, which receives most of the surgical procedures, is the face. On the face, a surgeon can do what is called facial contouring. Facial contouring includes rhinoplasty, cheek enhancement, and chin enhancement (Torgerson, n.d).

Surgical approach and Technique and Expected Post-Operative Results

Rhinoplasty is the process of performing a plastic surgery on the nose. The nose might be larger than the owner wishes it to be, and in that case the rhinoplasty procedure would reduce the size of the nose. The skin on the nose may be reduced, or increased in the process of correcting the defect on it. Equally, a chin enhancement is meant to reduce the size of the chin, or make it into a particular shape. Again, the skin on the chin may be reduced, or increased, depending on the desires of the person on whose face the cosmetic surgery is being done. The cheek also is another part that can endure a cosmetic surgery. If the cheek’s muscles have loosened and are not as taut as the owner may want them to be, the cosmetic surgeon would tighten them and make the cheek attractive again. The reasons for doing a chin enhancement, or rhinoplasty also apply to cheek enhancement.

On the same human face, a surgical procedure known as facial rejuvenation can also be done. Facial rejuvenation includes facelift, neck lift, eyelid lift, or brow lift. At advanced age, most of the facial muscles begin to sag. This results in the sagging of eyelid, brow, neck or the general face. To correct a sagging face, a facelift is done to strengthen the facial muscles and make them stand strong again. This is the same procedure applied on neck, eyelid, or brow. However, the latter procedures are carried out when only a particular part of the face is sagging, and not the whole face (Howard, 2017). These procedures are mostly done to people’s whose facial muscles have weakened significantly as a result of age or some other reason such as accidents.

The second body part which also receives a lot of surgical cosmetic procedures is the breast. A breast enhancement is done to augment the size or shape of the breast.

Surgical approach and Technique and Expected Post-Operative Results

While some women want their breasts to be lifted up the breasts so that they become erect, others want their breasts to be reduced in size because they are too big for their comfort. The breast is one body part that preoccupies that psyche of both the female owners and the male admirers. Different males have different taste for breast, and this also applies to females. However, in most instances, women seek to have their breasts enlarged as big and erect breasts are deemed to be more attractive their small or sagging counterparts.

The third cosmetic surgical procedure is known as body contouring. This is performed in various parts of the body, including the tummy, waist, and breasts, especially that of a male person.

Surgical approach and Technique and Expected Post-Operative Results

On the tummy, a cosmetic surgical procedure known as tummy tucks. Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure meant to make the tummy trimmer, firmer and thinner. A trimmer, firmer and thinner tummy is thought to be more attractive than a flabby and protruding one. On the waist, and the rest of the upper body parts, a liposuction can be performed. A liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure geared towards removing excess body fat from under the skin of a human being. As the name suggests, the excess fat is removed through suction. With the high number of people who have excess body fats, more people are turning to liposuction for solutions. Finally, on the body a cosmetic surgical procedure known as gynecomastia treatment can be performed to enhance the breast on the body of a male person. Even male people have the shape of the breast preferred on them. That is the reason some are turning to gynecomastia to have the type of breasts they want.

Pre- and Post-Operative Care

Just like any other profession, surgical cosmetic procedure also requires professionals to perform. There are professional surgical cosmetic surgeons who perform these procedures with minimal chances of messing up. On the other hand, just like other professions, there are also quacks who pretend to be cosmetic surgeons. Obviously, if a potential client comes across such a person then his or her cosmetic procedure would have very high chances of going awry. So the thing is if a cosmetic surgery is done by a professional under good conditions, then it has very low chances of going awry. But if it is done by a quack under unfavorable conditions, then chances of the cosmetic procedure going awry increase significantly.

Generally, a surgical cosmetic procedure, which is done correctly, boosts the image of the person who has ordered for it. However, there are instances when the procedure goes bad and does not produce the desired results. Only about 4% of the people who request for surgical cosmetic procedures report having received negative feedback (Howard, 2017). The rest of the pack is satisfied. This is a good statistics. Thus, if the surgical cosmetic procedure is done right, it will not leave the client with negative effects on his or her health and appearance. However, the one place that a surgical cosmetic procedure is sure to dent is the pocket. This procedure to enhance beauty is very expensive. For that reason, the person seeking it must pay a colossal amount of money in order to have it done to him or her. Generally, performing this procedure using well-known doctors often costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. As I had earlier mentioned, if the procedure is done right, the client will be satisfied with the result and it will boost the morale of the person.
