Definice a Význam "cosmetic surgery"

What is "cosmetic surgery"?

Cosmetic surgery is a medical procedure aimed at improving or changing a person's appearance through surgical techniques. It typically focuses on improving beauty, symmetry, and the size of various body parts. Common procedures include facelifts, breast enlargements or reduction, liposuction, and nose reshaping. Cosmetic surgery is mainly chosen by individuals wanting to improve their physical features or correct what they see as flaws. It is different from reconstructive surgery, which addresses abnormalities caused by conditions present at birth, injury, or medical treatments. While cosmetic surgery can increase self-confidence and improve appearance, it involves risks and recovery periods that vary based on the procedure performed.
