WHAT IS A COSMETIC PROCEDURE?


The first step in clearing up the confusion is to clearly define a Cosmetic Procedure. It is a procedure performed to enhance a person’s appearance, generally leading to a dramatic improvement in self-confidence and self-esteem.

​There are two types of Cosmetic Procedures — invasive and non-invasive.

​Generally speaking, non-invasive refers to procedures performed on, in or immediately beneath the skin. Such procedures include laser resurfacing to smooth wrinkled or sun- damaged skin, Collagen injections to enhance lips or treat wrinkles and Botox injections to improve frown lines.

​Invasive procedures, including facelifts, breast augmentations, “tummy tucks” (abdominoplasty) and liposculpture are what most people consider to be Cosmetic Surgery. These procedures require more recovery time and provide more dramatic results.

​Both Invasive and Non-Invasive procedures have become more popular over the last two decades. And although the procedures are considered Cosmetic, it is very important to note that these are medical procedures that, in all cases, should be carried out by an experienced professional with the appropriate qualifications. It’s a true, but unfortunate, fact that results can vary dramatically and one of the most critical decisions you’ll make is who you choose to trust with your procedure.

​Now that we have lifted the first veil of confusion, let’s lift the next veil by looking at the nature and qualifications of those who regularly perform surgical and other cosmetic procedures.
