By Millicent Odunze, M.D., About.com Guide

Plastic surgery is no longer just for the rich and famous. Everyday people are now flocking to surgeons for breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and more. Meanwhile, the field of cosmetic surgery offers more options than ever---from face lifts, rhinoplasty, and other traditional procedures, to newer and less invasive procedures, such as laser resurfacing and thermage.

Though these procedures are becoming more popular, they still carry risks that you need to weigh when deciding if one is right for you.
