Because of the constant need to be beautiful, and because of the changing perception of society day by day on what is beautiful and what is not, and finally because of the needs of individuals to be called beautiful by the conventional measures of society, evolution and natural biology are taking second place and humans are now finding newer and scientific ways in order to change their appearances in order to fit with such conventions. It has often been said that necessity is the mother of invention, and today’s question of what is beautiful has not anymore become just a specific want but a essential need for many individuals around the world.

And because of this, enters the new science of cosmetic surgery and the popular word Botox.

By definition, aesthetic surgery is a branch of plastic surgery which involves the undergoing of various treatments in order to capture an idea of enhanced physical beauty. The main purpose of this mythic surgery is not enhance the appearance through surgical and medical techniques which have only been previously allowed both in the conventional and legal sense to those who need immediate surgical care. Aesthetic surgery may take the form of restoring normal appearance to those individuals who have been damaged through accidents and other cases but it is also fairly — although only recently — practised on expanding and enhancing how one looks physically beyond the average. As of 2006, almost 11 and half million cosmetic surgeries were performed in the United States alone.

Some forms of cosmetic surgery are tummy tucks, eyelid surgeries, breast enlargements, breast augmentation, acne treatment through peeling, nose jobs, your jobs, face lifts, a chin implants, and the list is going and growing day by day.

A specialized form of cosmetic surgery and a tool that is most often associated with the practice is Botox. It is in the 1950s that medical technicians discovered that injecting over active muscles with minute quantities of Botox decrease the activity of such muscles by blocking the release of various ageing compounds. After such injections, in the time span of about four to five months, the muscles would be unable to contract. The first applications of Botox chemical technology was for crossed eyes and uncontrollable blinking by controlling the muscles. However, recently, this metric surgery had played a large role in Botox development and use because Vancouver-based surgeons discovered the ability of the Botox treatments to maintain muscles of aging individuals. The main use of Botox and this mythic surgery is through rendering the muscles in the face non-movement behaviour so that it would seem that such wrinkling muscles do not move or indeed contract to look younger.

Recent statistics have gathered that as of 2007, Botox injections have been the most common and popular cosmetic surgery with 4 1/2 million procedures done in the United States alone. From plastic surgeons, to cosmetic surgeons, and even to simple Botox injectors, it is all the rage of the day in cosmetic surgery while at the same time still having the ability to treat other diseases that are based on the movement of muscles.
