Cosmetic surgery in this encyclopedia means licensed procedures people actually get for looks: rhinoplasty, genioplasty, implants, blepharoplasty, hair transplant, fat grafting. It is in scope as description. It is out of scope as a shopping list or a DIY.
If a forum thread says "just get LeFort," the encyclopedia says: that is a named osteotomy, it is hospital surgery, talk to a maxillofacial surgeon, here is what the words mean.
Syringes and sutures have their own map: facial filler, thread lift, facelift, nasolabial fold, list of soft-tissue procedures.
