GlossaryCosmetic Surgery (Cosmetic Procedure)

involves elective procedures to enhance or alter physical appearance

Cosmetic surgery, also known as aesthetic surgery, involves procedures that enhance or improve the appearance of a person's body or face.

Common procedures include facelifts, breast augmentation, liposuction, and rhinoplasty.
