There are a number of unusual types of cosmetic surgery out there that you may not have heard about. Here is a brief overview of just some of them.
Ear reshaping, also known as otoplasty, is an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure which involves the reshaping and re-positioning of the ears in order to give them a more balanced and attractive look.
Another popular type is eyelid ptosis surgery, which helps to improve vision by lifting drooping eyelids that can otherwise interfere with eyesight. This procedure can help to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and also create a more youthful appearance overall.
Cosmetic breast implants can be taken one step further with fat transfer breast augmentation or “natural” breast implants – this involves using your own body fat from other areas such as the abdomen or thighs to increase bust size without an implant.
Genioplasty (or chin augmentation) can be used for aesthetic purposes but does come with greater risks than other procedures because it involves moving bones around in the facial area; however, when carried out correctly it can produce pleasing results.
Lip lifts are becoming increasingly popular too – they involve shortening or raising the upper lip so it appears fuller and more defined while reducing wrinkles on the upper lip area (and those pesky smoker’s lines!). Lastly glow lift threads are another option for those looking for subtle anti-aging results; these thin threads are inserted beneath tissue in order to provide support structure for sagging areas like cheeks & jawlines!
