Cosmetic surgery jargon

* Blepahorplasty: Upper and lower eyelid surgery, that involves making a crease in eyelid or stretching back and tucking the skin to remove wrinkles and bags around the eyes. * Botox injections: Uses the Botulinum toxin to slow down motor activity of the muscles of the face which normally smoothes out lines in the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. The effect wears off after about three to five months. * Breast Augmentation: Breast enlargement using lipo-injections (fat from liposuction) or breast implants. * Chemical peeling: As the name suggests, involves removing a layer of skin using various chemicals in order to reduce redness, marks or blemishes and help to rejuvenate the skin. * Liposuction: Uses small incisions and a liquid to temporarily harden fat, allowing the surgeon to remove it and sculpt the area under liposuction. * Lipo-injections: Adding the patient's own fat to areas of the body for resculpting or filling. * Rhinoplasty: Cosmetic nose surgery, better known as a "nose job". * Rhytidectomy: Also known as a facelift, which involves tightening loose facial skin and attaching it where it cannot be seen like behind the ears and under the chin.
