Whether it is an invasive surgery or a minor procedure, apprehensions about safety often hold back many aspirants. A recent report says that a new study allays these fears with regard to minor cosmetic treatments, saying they are safe. Researchers of Northwestern University Feinberg School
of
Medicine
report
that
aesthetic
surgeries
including
fillers,
neurotoxins, and laser procedures have low complication rates when performed by professional surgeons. Their analysis was based on data from eight centers across the United States and covered 23 dermatologists. The researchers say this is the first study that analyzes complications rates of minor aesthetic procedures. The main points are as follows
The researchers analyzed 20,399 minor cosmetic surgeries including fillers, neurotoxins, and laser procedures.
According to Health day News, the analysis showed zero major complications with only 0.52 percent (36 procedures) showing minor complications such as redness, bumpiness, bruising, swelling, or skin darkening
individuals who had these minor complications recovered without having follow-up treatments
As it is more invasive, Botox treatment showed comparatively higher complications than other procedures
The researchers recommend that individuals planning to have cosmetic treatment go in for a combination of minor surgeries rather than one major surgery as this can minimize risks. Proper training is critical to ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes with both major and minor cosmetic procedures. So if you are thinking of having cosmetic surgery, make sure you find a qualified, board-certified surgeon with experience and skill in performing the procedure you are interested in.
