Brachioplasty
It is a plastic surgery procedure, also called arm lift, to remove excess skin from the arms and some fat deposits. It is becoming more popular because of the rising popularity of the gastic bypass surgery to lose weight.
These patients are left with a lot of excess skin after losing a lot of weight. Aging can also cause the skin in this area to become saggy.
Many a times the surgeon will recommend liposuction in the arm area in addition to the arm lift.
This surgery can leave big, visible scars. They can extend from the armpit to the elbow. Therefore, only those people who have excess skin, really benefit from this surgery.
The cost will vary widely by location, but generally it costs between $5,000 to $7,000.
Voice lift or voice modification surgery
This surgery has been practiced for a while, but not many people are aware of it. Think about it like this. You meet someone who looks 45 years old, but sounds like a 70-year-old woman. You will see an immediate disconnect. The solution is plastic surgery or a surgery called: voice lift.
It consists of lifting of the vocal cords. The surgery gives a clearer, younger-sounding voice. It can also be use by people who need their voice to sound like singers, actors, or even politicians. It was originally developed to help people with health problems or who had suffered accidents involving the vocal cords. There are also similar procedures for transsexuals.
According to information from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the problem with the surgery is that the surgeon cannot fine tune your voice as he does the surgery, because the patient is under anesthesia, and therefore, he or she is unable to talk.
It can help singers improve their voice but there are no guaranties of the results. It is said that Julie Andrews had the surgery and it actually damaged her famous voice.
The cost varies by location from $3,500 to $7,000..
