Cosmetic surgery, also known as aesthetic or plastic surgery, is a surgical specialty that aims to enhance a person's appearance and correct flaws.

- Brow lift

- Cheek implants

2. Breast:

- Breast augmentation (enlargement)

- Breast reduction

- Breast lift (mastopexy)

3. Body:

- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)

- Body lift

4. Genitals:

Cosmetic surgery procedures are typically performed on an elective basis, meaning they are not medically necessary and are done to improve a person's appearance. The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is a personal one and should be made in consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon who can provide information about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure.
