Irrelevance Of Invasive Cosmetic Surgeries In The Current Times

Twenty years ago, non-invasive options for cosmetic improvement were few, and crude compared to those available today.

The major trends offer patients more options, long-lasting results, predictability and at the same time, provide safety which is ideally the most important when it comes to surgeries. Of the 17 million cosmetic procedures performed last year, over 15 million were non-invasive. There is no doubt that non-surgical options are experiencing great popularity among cosmetic, as they have an advantage over traditional surgical options for facial rejuvenation, fat loss, nose shaping, and more.

Cosmetic procedures can be described by two main distinctions, invasive procedures, such as, Liposuction, Rhinoplasty and Facelift, and non-invasive or minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, such as, Ultherapy, Laser Hair Removal, Botox, Dermal Fillers, Cooltech Fat Freeze, PRP, and more.

As a doctor, it is my duty to inform my patients about the varied options available that they can opt for. I also try to identify the requirements and needs of my patients and let them know the best available option for them, be it invasive or non-invasive surgery.
