Cosmetic surgery

Abstract

Cosmetic surgery remains highly dependent on the skill of the operator, and technological advance should be viewed with this in mind. Large volume infiltration can reduce the cost to benefit ratio for selected indications. Lasers have a relatively limited niche in medical aesthetics. No single method of breast augmentation has all advantages. Three surgical procedures can correct facial ageing: resurfacing, subdermal augmentation, and face lift surgery. Multidisciplinary team work is a practical way to provide a comprehensive service for the patient requiring cosmetic surgery.
