Plastic surgery is a specialized surgical medical discipline. It is rooted in the art of reshaping and restoring form and function of various bodily and facial features, aimed at helping individuals to look and function their best. The term “plastic” comes from the Greek word “plastikos” which means “to mold” or to “shape”.

A cosmetic doctor, also known as an aesthetic physician, is a medical professional with a specialized training of 3 years and expertise mainly in non-surgical cosmetic procedures. These non-surgical cosmetic procedures have their limits in what they can achieve, and often must be repeated since they don’t give long-lasting results. When these conservative procedures don’t help enough anymore or more long-lasting results are desired (10-15 years), surgical cosmetic corrections are the next step. Preferably these cosmetic procedures like a Facelift, Neck Lift, Eyebrow Lift or Eyelid corrections are performed by a specialized Facial Plastic Surgeon. Facial Plastic Surgeons have had an extensive surgical training of at least 6 years.
The cost of cosmetic plastic surgery can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of procedure, the surgeon's experience and reputation, the geographic location of the surgical facility, and the extent of the surgery. Highly experienced and renowned plastic surgeons often charge more for their services. However, their expertise can be worth the investment to ensure the best possible results. It’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a personalized evaluation and cost estimate for your specific procedure. They can provide you with a detailed breakdown of the expenses involved and discuss financing options if needed.
Keep in mind that while cost is a factor to consider, choosing a qualified and reputable surgeon is crucial to achieving safe and satisfying excellent results in plastic surgery; quality matters.
