Abstract:
Cosmetic procedures involve the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of one's physical appearance through surgical or medical techniques. Restorative or reconstructive procedures, on the other hand, are essential procedures that restore normal function or appearance to abnormal structures caused by trauma or infection. Cosmetic procedures are generally elective and may either be surgical or nonsurgical. Nonsurgical or minimally invasive cosmetic procedures include laser hair or tattoo removal, chemical peeling, micro-dermabrasion, and soft tissue augmentation with injectables. These procedures are fast-growing with more than a 50% increase globally over the last 5 years.
