New Trends in Aesthetic Surgery

What are the New Trends in Aesthetic Surgery?

New trends in plastic surgery are constantly evolving and changing. We can count some popular trends as follows;

• Minimally invasive procedures: Procedures that do not require surgery and are performed with small interventions shorten the recovery time of patients and may be less risky because they are less invasive.
• Natural-looking results: The demand for a natural and balanced appearance is increasing in aesthetic surgery applications. Patients who do not want a very obvious change after the surgery prefer to obtain more natural-looking results.
• New technologies: Technologies and devices used in aesthetic surgery are constantly evolving. For example, new technologies such as laser technologies, ultrasonic devices and radiofrequency make it possible to achieve more effective results with non-surgical methods.
• Tailor-made treatments: Aesthetic surgery practices that offer treatments tailored to the individual needs of patients are increasing. For example, customized botox and filler treatments are performed in accordance with the face shape and needs.
• Beauty diversity: Beauty standards no longer focus on a particular look. Special aesthetic surgery treatments are offered for different skin tones, body types and facial features.

What are the Uses of Minimally Invasive Procedures in Aesthetic Surgery?

Among the minimally invasive procedures preferred in aesthetic surgery, the most popular ones can be listed as follows:

• Botox: Botox is an injection treatment used to reduce facial wrinkles. Botulinum toxin is injected under the skin with a small needle. This toxin causes temporary relaxation of the muscles and helps reduce facial wrinkles.
• Filling: Filling consists of a substance injected under the skin. Fillers help fill wrinkles and facial contours. They may consist of natural substances such as hyaluronic acid or synthetic substances such as poly-L-lactic acid.
• Laser therapy: Laser therapy targets the top layer of the skin and gently burns it off. This ensures the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin. Laser therapy can also be used to improve skin tone, reduce capillaries and reduce blemishes.
• Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a procedure using a device that gently sands the top layer of skin. This process provides rejuvenation of the skin and improvement of skin tone.
• Chemical peeling: Chemical peeling is a process used to purify the skin surface from dead skin cells. The chemical solution gently peels off the top layer of the skin, allowing new skin cells underneath to emerge. This process is used to even out skin tone and help with skin problems such as acne, wrinkles and sun damage.

What are the Advantages of Minimally Invasive Procedures in Aesthetic Surgery?

Advantages of minimally invasive procedures in plastic surgery include;

• Less pain: Minimally invasive procedures usually cause less pain because they require less surgical intervention. Most patients are numbed with only local anesthesia and do not need painkillers after the operation.
• Less risk of complications: Minimally invasive procedures may be safer because they carry less risk of complications. The number of infections, bleeding and other risks after the operation is reduced.
• Shorter recovery time: Minimally invasive procedures require a shorter recovery time and allow patients to return to their normal lives faster. They can usually return to work or daily activities within a few days.
• Less risk of incisions or scars: Minimally invasive procedures provide more aesthetic results as they carry less risk of incisions or scars. Often, patients return to their normal appearance within a few days after surgery.
• Less cost: Minimally invasive procedures can be less costly because they usually require less surgery and a shorter hospital stay.

Minimally invasive procedures are an increasingly popular trend in plastic surgery. The advantages of these procedures are many. However, as with any surgical procedure, minimally invasive procedures can have risks and side effects. Your doctor will decide for you which method will be used in the surgical procedure, with the principle of "least harm / maximum benefit".
