Plastic surgeries versus non-surgical aesthetic procedures: which is the most suitable for each case?

2 August 2022

According to Google Insights research , self-care has become a priority and well-being has never been more in vogue. The searches for "skin" surpassed the searches for "makeup", demonstrating that people are more concerned with the health of the skin² and that taking care of oneself also means taking care of one's appearance³, revealing that aesthetics has a strong influence on self-esteem 4 .

Accompanying this scenario, the search for non-surgical aesthetic procedures has increased¹, while the number of plastic surgeries for aesthetic purposes, in general, has dropped by 10.9% in 2020. There is still no data revealing why this can However, the technology of non-surgical aesthetic procedures has increasingly evolved so that invasive surgeries are not the only solutions.

"Of course, each case is different and a consultation should be made with a health professional qualified to practice aesthetic procedures to indicate which treatment protocol should be carried out, but today there are already some non-surgical solutions that can bring such refined results. and satisfactory as those of surgeries", explains plastic surgeon Dr. Ingrid Paula Luckmann (CRM-SC 12912).

Not necessarily one solution can replace the other, but there are some aesthetic dissatisfactions that do not need invasive procedures. As is the case with the nose-up. "Sometimes, some people think that a rhinoplasty is necessary to make the nose more perched. Depending on the case, this is resolved only with the application of a filler based on hyaluronic acid", explains Dr.

Chin projection, for example, which is also very popular, can, depending on the case and severity, be solved with the Defyning PRO technique, which consists of applying Restylane® Defyne or Restylane® Lyft to help give more projection to the region. .

"Of course, the Defyning PRO technique will not replace surgeries for people who need orthodontic corrections for bite alignment, for example. The use of fillers can even simulate a future surgery so that the patient can concretely visualize how they feel with the new silhouette", comments Dr. Ingrid

The Defyning PRO Technique was developed by Galderma, an independent global dermatology company, and may be an option for anyone looking to enhance the chin without resorting to surgical intervention.

"Other frequent dissatisfactions in my office are dark circles, drooping eyelids and the famous 'crow's feet'. Today, with this advance in the aesthetic area, it is possible, depending on the case, to solve these annoyances with the application of skinboosters and fillers, both based on hyaluronic acid", guides the plastic surgeon.

The Restylane® line of injectable hyaluronic acids offers different texture options to suit each skin story and your specific needs, such as smoothing Chinese mustache, defining the face contour, giving more volume to the lips, softening dark circles and crow's feet, among others.

Also for those looking for better skin quality and lessening aspects caused by fine lines, there is an option: Restylane® Skinboosters TM is one of the substances included in the portfolio, which can be applied to the face, neck and hands. The product provides a hydration boost from the inside out, forming reservoirs of hyaluronic acid in the skin, recovering its freshness, reducing roughness and some acne scars, in addition to giving that glow effect of healthy skin.

The portfolio of hyaluronic acids from the Restylane® line is used in minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, which must be performed in the office by health professionals qualified to practice injectable aesthetic procedures.
