Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery and the Media
In Beverly Hills, plastic surgery has become very popular. Women in particular, seek cosmetic surgery procedures in the hope of improving their aesthetic features. Its popularity has grown partly because of media hype, as many female celebrities attest to the benefits of such medical procedures.
Among the most sought-after cosmetic surgery procedures include breast augmentation, abdominaplasty (more commonly known as the tummy tuck) and lip enhancement.
Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that can enhance the size and shape of one’s breasts through the use of implants and other techniques. Many doctors use the submuscular periareolar approach or through the nipple method when inserting breast implants. Compared to other procedures, this method allows for more visibility and easier maneuvering for the surgeon.
Abdominaplasty or the “tummy tuck” procedure is another popular cosmetic surgery option. The constant presentation of women as incredibly slim in both entertainment media and advertisements has created the notion that one must have a flat stomach in order to become attractive.
Lip enhancement procedures have also gained popularity. Full, shapely lips are considered to be an attractive trait in almost every culture all over the world. In Hollywood, the full-lipped, almost pouty look has been popularized by many celebrities and actresses.
In fact, a study released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that in 2008, approximately 12.1 million cosmetic procedures were done all over the US. The study also showed that 91% of all cosmetic procedures were for women.
In major cities like Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, plastic surgery clinics can provide these much sought-after services.
