Plastic Surgery - What's New and Upcoming

Like a lot of industries, plastic surgery is customer oriented. So Doctors must pay attention to patient needs, wants and desires. They want to help the patient look their best and achieve their goals. Sometimes this can be difficult if a procedure doesn't exist that addresses a patient's specific desired outcome. For this reason, the field of plastic surgery is continually working to evolve and improve. New technologies, new techniques, new applications for existing procedures - these are all ways that the industry seeks to ensure that there is something to offer to meet every need. The result is that everyone has the chance to look and feel their best. Here are some examples of some of the latest offerings in the field of plastic surgery.
Poly-L-Lactic acids
New facial injectables induce natural collagen growth slowly over time, so there is not a sudden noticeable change in appearance. Collagen is a fibrous protein in the dermis that gives structure to the skin. As it is lost with age and environmental damage, the skin loses its ability to maintain elasticity and retain moisture.
Depending on the patient, typically three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months. The result is a smoothing out of facial wrinkles, and folds that lasts about two years.
Dimpleplasty is a minor, low risk plastic surgery procedure that enhances one's smile through the creation of dimples. The surgery is popular with both men and women. It takes about 10 minutes to perform and recovery entails about a week of bruising. Obviously, the procedure achieves a very specific look.
Dermal fillers to treat migraines
Following nearly a decade of research and studies, plastic surgeons are beginning to offer a new option for the thousands of Americans who suffer from migraines. Dermal fillers have been found to effectively "freeze" the muscles around the nerves that cause the severe headaches providing relief. It is an expensive treatment option but may be well worth it to those it helps.
New treatment for varicose veins
Up until now, the best option for getting rid of varicose veins was surgical removal, which has about a 25 percent recurrence rate. Now, endovenous laser ablation offers a new option to rid patients of these veins that have become enlarged and visible below the skin. The condition affects about 15 to 25 percent of adults, who are most commonly affected in the legs. The minimally invasive laser treatment can typically done in less than an hour and has bee shown to have about a five percent recurrence rate.
