Vanity knows no boundaries and spreads across the country to every city and state. Many cities such as Durham, North Carolina are finding that its population prefers to look and feel young and vibrant, at any age. Located in North Carolina’s Research Triangle youth is almost a necessity for success. In order to stay ‘young’ the residents of Durham exercise at gyms and health clubs and, on occasion, visit cosmetic plastic surgeons.
Cosmetic surgery in Durham is becoming more the norm than the unusual. Some cosmetic surgery clinics specialize in breast augmentation, reduction and reconstruction while many focus on liposuction and body contouring. There are others that combine facial non-surgical treatments, such as Botox, with dermabrasion.
Most cosmetic and plastic surgeons perform all types of cosmetic surgery. At these clinics and offices, you will find cosmetic surgeons who provide facial rejuvenation (facelift, neck lift, facial implants, fat transfer, Botox and other dermal fillers, ear pinning surgery), eye rejuvenation (eyelid lift, endoscopic brow lift), breast enhancement (breast enlargement, lift, and reduction, male breast reduction, breast reconstruction), body contouring (liposuction, tummy tuck, lower body lift, upper arm lift), skin rejuvenation (laser/ and chemical peels) and rhinoplasty.
The majority of clinics still resemble mini-hospitals but, as with major cosmetic and plastic surgery centers across the United States, the cosmetic surgery clinics are taking on an air of spa comfort and relaxation. The choice of which is preferable is entirely up to the patient.
Many of the plastic and cosmetic surgeons work solely at hospitals and not in private practice. They perform the life-saving plastic surgery procedures such as skin grafting for burn victims, reconstructive surgery for birth defects and accident victims and other procedures required daily in emergency rooms.
