Plastic surgery involves correcting congenital or acquired deformities. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, involves surgical procedures aimed at improving and rejuvenating a person's appearance. Aesthetic surgery is a subspecialty of plastic surgery.

Answer: Injections like Botox and fillers typically take 10-30 minutes. Patients can return to their social lives immediately. The effects of Botox last 4-6 months, while fillers last 8-18 months, depending on the product used.

Answer: The effects of most cosmetic surgery last for many years. However, factors such as aging, lifestyle, and weight fluctuations can affect the results. For example, rhinoplasty is usually permanent, but a facelift can be repeated over time.

Answer: This varies depending on the procedure performed. While minor procedures (Botox, fillers) can return to daily life the same day, major surgeries such as rhinoplasty or tummy tucks may require a recovery period of 1-3 weeks.

Answer: Most procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience mild pain, swelling, and bruising, which usually subside within a few days.
