Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery has become a widely accepted field of medical science focused on enhancing, reshaping, or rejuvenating the human body to improve appearance and self-confidence. While often used interchangeably, the terms “cosmetic” and “aesthetic” share the goal of beautification but may slightly differ in intent or medical context. Cosmetic surgery is typically elective and involves procedures that aim to improve features that are otherwise functioning normally. Aesthetic surgery, often rooted in both cosmetic and reconstructive elements, combines medical precision with artistic finesse to achieve natural-looking results.

The demand for these procedures has grown significantly worldwide due to increasing awareness, affordability, and societal acceptance. From non-invasive treatments like Botox and dermal fillers to surgical interventions like rhinoplasty, liposuction, breast augmentation, and facelifts, modern advancements have made cosmetic surgery safer and more accessible than ever before.
