Most Common Plastic Surgery For Females
Book an Appointment
The “2020 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report,” published by the “American Association of Plastic Surgeons,” claims that 92% of the cosmetic procedures in the country were performed for females. This constitutes a myriad of 12 million procedures. This number clearly demonstrates the huge demand for cosmetic and plastic surgery only among females.
Must know: Difference between cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery
Plastic surgeries are mostly reconstructive surgeries that improve or alter the structure and function of damaged body parts. On the other hand, aesthetic procedures alter the structure or size of body parts that are already functioning properly.
In other words, cosmetic surgeries are only an elective part of the broad spectrum of plastic surgeries. To become a plastic surgeon, one needs to complete 6–8 years of plastic surgery training after medical school. However, a cosmetic surgeon need not undergo such long training. Thus, a plastic surgeon (who is double-certified in plastic and cosmetic surgery) can perform both reconstructive and cosmetic (aesthetic) procedures together. Contradictorily, not all cosmetic surgeons can perform plastic surgeries.

Top 5 Picks: Most common plastic surgeries for females
With rapidly growing research and developments in the medical and aesthetic fields, plastic surgery procedures are increasing in number. Not only the number, but also the variants for each procedure based on the tool, equipment, or technology being used.
So, when you think about the most common plastic surgery for females, we cannot have one. Hence, we’ve curated the top five picks for you!
- Mommy makeover
- Rhinoplasty
- Tummy tucking
- Breast Augmentation
- Reduction Mammoplasty
Mommy makeover
Though mommy makeover can be a single term, it is a collective procedure that combines a couple of plastic and cosmetic surgeries. Women after their pregnancy may have developed excess skin, shapeless or dangling breasts, sacks of fat, etc. Thus, they undergo tummy tucks, breast lifts, and liposuction (fat removal) throughout their affected body parts. This helps them regain their original body shape and contours. At the same time, they can regulate their metabolisms like earlier.
Rhinoplasty
Popularly called the “nose job,” this procedure is done to correct the deviated septum in the nose. Also, when the nose is injured or, by birth, has a defect or deformity, plastic surgery is opted for. Apart from these, it is also done for aesthetic purposes. For example: enhance the beauty of the nose, elevate the tip, etc. These days, nose jobs have become one of the most common cosmetic treatments instead of being considered reconstructive plastic surgery.
Tummy tucking
Medically, this surgery is called “abdominoplasty.” In this procedure, the individual’s excess skin (loose or sagged) in the abdomen is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to give a proper contour. Thus, most women opt for this procedure after pregnancy or bariatric surgery. Some women may have already inculcated exercises and other healthy habits to contract their skin. In such a case, they will undergo only liposuction (fat removal) and may not need skin tightening.

Breast Augmentation
Women undergo this procedure for two reasons. One is to address the concern of congenital micromastia. This is a condition in which females don’t develop proper breasts during puberty. The other is to make both their breasts equal in size—solve the asymmetry. This is considered plastic surgery as it is performed for reconstructive purposes. When women do this procedure to enhance the look of their breasts (implants), then it is purely an aesthetic procedure.
Reduction Mammoplasty
Non-technically, this procedure is referred to as “breast reduction”. One category of females opts for this procedure for cosmetic reasons—they face challenges in getting perfect clothes. Another category of females opts for this for reconstructive (purposeful) reasons—they suffer from severe neck or back pain due to heavy breasts. Sometimes, a few women have asymmetrical breasts, which they need to address with the help of plastic surgery.
