cosmetic surgery
Elective aesthetic procedure
Cosmetic surgery refers to medical procedures that reshape or alter parts of the body primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than medical necessity.
Common procedures include facelifts, nose jobs, breast augmentation, and liposuction.
The term distinguishes these elective operations from reconstructive surgery, which repairs damage from injury or disease.
She's considering cosmetic surgery to reduce the signs of aging.
The field has expanded dramatically with advances in technology and changing social attitudes about physical appearance.
