If you are unhappy with your physical appearance, chances are you may have considered plastic surgery. Unfortunately, many plastic surgery procedures involve hours in the surgical suite. For some, the idea of a long surgical procedure is enough to pass on the idea. However, there is good news. Many plastic surgery procedures require less than an hour to perform and, in some cases, the downtime is also minimal. But have no fear, a fast plastic surgery procedure does not mean that the surgeon is below par. These procedures, performed by an experienced surgeon, have a standard time of under an hour.
Breast Augmentation
While you may think breast augmentation, or breast implants, is a lengthy procedure, the truth is the actual surgery is right around an hour. More time goes into planning, such as choosing the right implant and addressing your desired outcome. After the surgery, most women can return home the same day. After about a week or rest and recovery, you can return to light physical activities, though it will take longer before you can get back to the gym.
Eyelid Surgery
Not all plastic surgery procedures require hours or days in the hospital. In about an hour, you can increase your breast size and be bikini ready in no time.
Are you showing the early signs of aging or just looking very tired and worn out? Do you have under-eye bags or drooping eyelids? While many men and women assume a facelift is the only option to achieve a more youthful appearance, eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is often enough to turn back the clock. This procedure, which typically only takes 30 minutes, opens your eyes, reduces puffiness and under-eye bags and can help improve your field of vision. After a week of rest and recovery, most men and women can get back to normal activities.
Liposuction
If you have lost some weight but are battling some stubborn fat pockets around your middle, liposuction is a fast plastic surgery procedure that can help you achieve your desired look. While you often need to wear compression garments after the procedure, most people can return to normal activities after a few days of rest and recovery. And liposuction isn’t just limited to the waistline. It can also address stubborn fat in the face, chin and neck, upper arms, back and legs.
