Different types of surgical and non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures.
The term plastic surgery covers a range of medical procedures performed for injury repair or cosmetic reasons. Facial plastic surgery is one of the most performed cosmetic surgical procedures. You can go for this procedure to improve your cosmetic appearance and self-esteem. For most people, physical appearance and confidence are linked. So, you feel great when you look great.
This surgery is also performed after some facial injuries such as burns. Unhealthy, damaged tissues can make you feel less confident. However, with plastic surgery, you can repair these damages.
There are both surgical and non-surgical options available for enhancing your facial appearance. In most cases of facial injuries, surgery is the only solution.
Non-Surgical Options
Following are the common non-surgical procedures for enhancing your facial appearance:
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure that removes or at least minimizes wrinkles. This procedure also reduces facial blemishes. In this procedure, a tool scrapes away the uneven top layer of the skin. This improves the tone of your skin and also exfoliates the skin. This procedure can also thicken collagen.

This procedure also removes wrinkles, scars, pigmentation and vascular lesions. In this procedure, a light, ablative, laser, non-ablative, and chemical peels are used to restore skin tone.
