Popular Cosmetic Procedures

The surgeon notices that the values of society have changed as the society itself is changing. Body health and youthful appearance are not less important than material things. At the same time, the possibilities of plastic and aesthetic medicine are expanding. Plastic surgery is often combined with non-surgical methods of treatment: lasers, impulse light, stem cells or various injections.

An opinion that a 40-year old man or woman who has achieved a lot in life must look young and energetic is becoming popular in Lithuania as it is in many foreign countries. It is considered important for the person’s further career and social life", says G. Grigonyte-Babajan.

In Lithuania, one of the most popular beauty procedures is eyelid lift operation. During plastic eyelid operation, the eye is ‘opened’, the undesired pouches are removed. After such procedures, the whole face looks younger.

Another popular procedure is breast augmentation or reduction. The age of women who decide to have breast operation done varies. Young women choose breast augmentation procedures because it is important for their job or career (dancers, models). There are also women who have such operations done because their breasts are small or have lost their shape after pregnancy.

The plastic surgeon notices that, for men, it is important to look young as well. Often due to genetic reasons, men suffer from alopecia (loss of hair), so hair transplantation procedures are also very popular in Lithuania.
