Cosmetic surgeries include surgical and nonsurgical procedures to enhance and reshape the body parts and improve appearance and confidence. It can be performed on all areas of the head, neck, and body. 

Treatments such as breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and dermabrasion are common among younger patients while blepharoplasty (eyelift), breast lift, facelift, and Botox are more commonly sought by older patients. 

Every cosmetic procedure involves different steps. But, before undergoing any cosmetic surgery, you might be scheduled for a preoperative examination to check your general health. Your doctor will also ask about your current medications including aspirin, vitamin E, over-the-counter medications and supplements, and lifestyle issues, such as smoking history.

Cosmetic surgery procedures required general anesthesia and are performed in the hospital under the care of an anesthesiologist. Procedures such as injections of facial fillers may be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia.
