Aesthetic surgery is a surgical procedure aimed at changing a person’s appearance and body shape. It is performed to treat congenital or acquired aesthetic, shape, and functional disorders or to enhance an individual’s self-confidence.
Aesthetic surgery can be applied in many different areas. Examples include facial aesthetics (facelifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, etc.), breast aesthetics (breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, etc.), body aesthetics (abdominoplasty, liposuction, buttock augmentation, arm lift, etc.), and genital aesthetics (labiaplasty, vaginal aesthetics, etc.). Additionally, it can address deformities in infants such as cleft lip and palate, and irregularities in the jaw and facial bones.
Aesthetic surgery is typically driven by personal preferences or aesthetic goals and is not usually a medically necessary procedure. However, in some cases, aesthetic surgery can be used to restore normal functions after natural deformities or damage.
