Plastic surgery terms explained
Plastic surgeries are surgical procedures that involve restoring, reconstructing and altering the human body. They are basically divided into two: reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries. While reconstructive surgeries are carried out to improve the functionality of the body part being reconstructed, the purpose of cosmetic surgeries is to improve the appearance of the said body part.
However, our focus in this article is on common cosmetic plastic surgeries. Against popular belief, not all plastic surgery procedures require you to “go under the knife.”
We explain 12 of the most common plastic surgery procedures:
1. BBL
BBL is one of the most highly sought-after cosmetic procedures ever. Musicians sing about it, amebos talk about it. BBL stands for “Brazilian Butt Lift.” Its end result is usually a big, round, and thick ass. The type of ass that can get you a gig as a video vixen, give you major bragging rights and make you a potential twerk icon.
The procedure involves using a syringe to transfer fat from different parts of the body to the bum bum. Celebrities who have done BBL include Cardi B, Blac Chyna and Amber Rose.
2. Butt Implants
Now you’re probably wondering, “what’s the difference between a BBL and a butt implant?” Calm down, I’ll get to it in a bit. While a BBL involves injecting the existing fat in your body to your butt, a butt implant adds an artificial silicone in your ass.
It’s actually the go-to for the lepas among us that don’t have any fat that can be extracted 🌚.
3. Botox
Botox is the shortened term of Botulinum toxin. This procedure freezes facial muscles between the brows and forehead. Fun fact about Botox is it relaxes frown lines, wrinkles and is a possible treatment for depression.
Kris Jenner, Wendy Williams and Nicki Minaj are popular people who have had Botox. Rumors have it that the earlier you get it done, the more effective it is. In fact, experts recommend between your 20s and 30s.
4. Tummy tuck
Abdominoplasty is the medical term for tummy tuck and its purpose is to help you get the smooth and firm profile you desire.
Depending on your case, you can either have a mini tummy tuck surgery , full tummy tuck surgery or excessive tummy tuck surgery.
5. Boob job
A boob job is the layman term for breast augmentation. Just like in butt implants, silicones are placed in the breasts to give them a firm and bigger look.
I’m sure those among us that like big breast will appreciate this 😏.
6. Liposuction
Liposuction, also known as lipo, removes excess fat at strategic places to achieve a lovely shape or figure. The targeted areas where excess fat is removed include the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, arms, neck, and back.
Men and women can go through this procedure. A small incision is made at these areas, and the fat is suctioned via a special type of vacuum.
7. Nose job
Nose job is the common name for rhinoplasty. It basically means nose rearrangement or realignment. A nose job is done either to increase its functions or change the shape.
People who feel uncomfortable about the size and shape of their nose tend to opt for this cosmetic procedure.
8. Face lift
This is a cosmetic surgery performed to create a younger facial appearance. It’s like a hack for staying young forever, just like botox.
It eliminates double chins, saggy face muscles, and wrinkles. The medical term for face lift is Rhytidectomy.
9. Chemical peel
A chemical peel is a procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. With a light or medium peel, you may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results.
Chemical peels treat acne, minimize pores, erase fine lines and wrinkles, fade discoloration, and smooth the skin. It ranges from light, medium to deep levels.
10. Laser treatment
Laser treatments come in various forms. There are laser treatments for the vagina, stretch marks, unwanted tattoos and hair.
Yes, there is a laser treatment for vaginas. It helps to restore the thickness and moisturised kitty that makes sex sweet. Like the kind Cardi was referring to in her “WAP” song.
The laser removal treatment for stress marks, unwanted hair and tattoos is ideal for those tired of shaving, and with tattoos they regret.
If you still have your ex tattooed on your body, how far?🌚
11. O-Shot
O for orgasms! The O-shot procedure is an orgasm therapy treatment that enhances libido, sexual urges, and the outer part around the vagina. The patient’s blood is extracted, treated and then injected into the vagina and clitoris.
With this shot, women can reach orgasms faster. A great cosmetic procedure for those that play in the bedroom if you know what I mean 😌.
12. Body sculpting
Body contouring, or body sculpting, is a medical or surgical procedure that aims to reshape an area of the body. It is a great way to get rid of excess fat and reshape body areas.
Special wooden instruments are used for this procedure. Just picture a similar instrument to the turning stick for amala.
