Cosmetic surgery is more focused on enhancing the beauty of any body part or the skin. Plastic surgery, on the other hand, is devoted to improving any birth or accidental defects of the body parts. Both make use of medical and surgical procedures with advanced techniques.

HexaHealth TeamExpert

Cosmetic surgery procedures are chosen to best fit the individual requirement by expert doctors. There is no "one for all" solution. Every surgery involves a customised approach with a mix of one or more techniques for the most satisfactory results.

The most common types of cosmetic surgery include non-invasive procedures, as they are more safe and quick to heal.
