So...Guess What are the most popular one?
Just to name a few, probably you have already known some of these. It's pretty common and for somewhat reasons getting so much popularity both men and women. Just go to orchard road, dhoby ghaut MRT area, etc..you'll see many clinics offering the same type of procedures, some are invasive while others are non-invasive (as they advertised). Ok here is the list:
1. Liposuction and Tummy tuck
Yeah..not only in Singapore, all over the world people are just getting more obese. We eat more, move less, plus this is worsened by our metropolitan lifestyle. You can just imagine what's going to happen to your body. You'll store more fat. Simple as that. The funny side is that we're also lazy and want instant solution like a snap...!! abracadabra all of the sudden you're slim. Both of these I think are called body contouring procedures because literally your body is being grafted according to your "request". These two are pretty dang expensive...!! You can expect to spend at least 3000 SGD for a single treatment. Not to mention the associated side effects, risks, and recovery time needed after the surgery. It could take you another 3 months before you are fully recovered and back to daily routine. If I'm not wrong the most common method used by plastic surgeons is the tumescent technique where they inject some lidocaine liquid through your skin (for anesthetic). It's also pretty safe. Liposuction is a risky and very invasive process, you better choose an experienced surgeon. You've probably have seen some death cases last year, I suggest you go for a trusted doctor, look at his previous work, reviews, etc. In other words, do your homework.
2. Breast Augmentation
This is obviously for ladies only. :) To certain extend this is a not a reconstructive surgery just for your information, but it's more like for aesthetic reasons. Although there are some women who had congenital defects of her breast but that is another different case. If we're discussing about breast augmentation, it's all about making the shape, size of your boobs look bigger and firmer. Lol... The breast implants being used are silicone ( pre-filled with silicone gel therefore give a firmer look, but there is a risk of rupture) and saline (basically just sterile salt water therefore safer) both come with advantage and disadvantages. I believe another fancy name for this is augmentation mammoplasty just in case you have heard about the term but you've never seen it. The surgeon will make incisions on your breast and implant the liquid . At least you need 6000 SGD if you want to opt for this surgery.
3. Double eyelid surgery a.k.a Asian blepharoplasty
As we are asian, mostly we don't have the creases and fold that our friend Caucasians have. To compensate that, we do this procedure. I think there is like a special glue or tape if you don't want to go for surgery but they're unreliable and do not last long or give the "bigger look" effect because otherwise your eyes will look droopy, hooded, and sleepy. The price for this procedure is around 2000-4000 SGD.
Let's Take a Break....Watch this first....!!!
4. Nose surgery also known as Rhinoplasty
I think another name for this is nose job, or grafting. Just like our previous reason, we do this because we want to have this western looking typically we want to resize the nostril, to give it more height to the shape, narrow the nose size, and also a sharper looking nose tip. Out of the 4 surgery, I suppose this is the cheapest one but also also very popular for asians. Other than South Korea, Singapore girls love to do this. On average this will cost you around 2000 SGD.
That's pretty much it guys and gals... I can give you more insight in the future about some of them as I had several friends who had done most of the above cosmetic surgery procedures, you can follow me on twitter or read my fat removal surgery presentation on slideshare.net and my last social media account on behance about body fat grafting and my other projects coming.....
Thank you.....!!!!!!! if you want to message me, just hit me on my profile above, if I'm not busy (likely) I'll get back to your question. Over and out.
We're so small..nobody even notices us.. :)
