Connecticut's aesthetic surgeons can be found in virtually every city and population center. In Fairfield County, in Stamford, in Westport and Glastonbury and in many other of Connecticut's scattering of towns there is an outpatient plastic surgery center.

In New Haven there is also Yale's School of Medicine. The Yale Medical Group is composed of Yale's 800 medical faculty members. They are affiliated with the Yale-New Haven Hospital and have their own practices as well. Cosmetic plastic surgery is one of the offerings of the Yale Medical Group. If the insurance of a surgeon respected by peers and a hospital environment is important to you, the Yale Medical Group might be a resource for your desired surgical procedure.

Among the outpatient clinics in Connecticut you will find specialists that focus on certain portions of the body and experienced generalists as well. One surgeon who stresses his experience with breast augmentation and breast lifts has an elaborate service for people who want to fly in for surgery (in their New York facility) and stay a week for recovery in an apartment that the practice maintains.

New York aside, the state of Connecticut has many middle class and upscale communities that until recently have been the main support for aesthetic plastic surgeons. As prices have dropped and the notion of cosmetic surgery has lost its controversy, more and more Americans of relatively modest means have sought out cosmetic plastic surgery. Connecticut's large group of practitioners has reaped the benefit of cosmetic plastic surgery's mainstream status.

Face lifts are no longer an unusual choice among women of a certain age; in addition, there are minor versions of facial cosmetic surgery available now in the form of eye lifts, brow lifts, forehead lifts, chin contouring and rhinoplasty. There are also several non-surgical options such as Botox, Radiesse, Restylane and other facial fillers: there are also several types of laser skin treatment designed to improve facial pigmentation and minimize imperfections.

Connecticut's aesthetic surgeons are also familiar with body sculpting. This concept usually involves the use of liposuction along with one or more surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck, buttocks lift or body lift. Two things have provided cosmetic plastic surgery today with a wealth of options. One is the introduction of new technologies such as liposuction and the Botox/filler phenomenon. The other is the use of endoscopic surgical techniques that minimize the impact and recovery time for cosmetic plastic surgery. In Connecticut you will find cosmetic surgeons that are experienced with both.
