There are many people who think that cosmetic surgery is the only way to solve their skin related problems like dark circles, eye bags, etc. Of course cosmetic surgery can help some but not all. This is so because selecting the variant of cosmetic surgery is very important, which many people neglect. Here are the different varieties in which cosmetic surgery can be done -


1. Upper Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery
Known as blepharoplasty, this procedure repairs eyelid problems and is better known as eyelid lifts. Excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissue that tend to accumulate are removed from the upper eyelids through an incision that is hidden in the natural creases above the eyelids. These eyelid cosmetic surgery scars are very difficult to see over time even without makeup.

2. Lower Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery
This surgery takes a transconjunctival approach which means that this eyelid cosmetic surgery is performed through the inside part of the eyelid so that no external visible scar is created when fatty tissue is removed. An incision may also be made just below the base of the lashes if excessive skin or muscle folds are found below the eye.

3. Laser Skin Resurfacing
The laser treatment is performed under local anesthesia. In this facial cosmetic treatment, layers of skin are removed restoring a softer, smoother, more youthful appearing skin. The Erbium laser is the preferred laser for resurfacing. This laser produces less heat and is considerably gentler to the skin than other resurfacing lasers. Treatment with the Erbium laser stimulates the production of collagen which results in a tightening and smoothing of the skin.

4. Botox Treatment
Most people don’t find the Botox® facial cosmetic treatment to be uncomfortable. A very small amount of Botox® is injected directly into the muscle and topical anesthetic creams are applied to numb the skin before the injection. The muscles relax and reduce the appearance of frown lines or crows feet - effects are usually seen within 24-72 hours.
