Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Minimally invasive procedures have transformed aesthetic surgery, offering effective results with reduced downtime and lower complication rates. This includes injectables such as Botox, dermal fillers, thread lifts, chemical peels, and non-surgical skin tightening techniques. Emphasis is placed on patient assessment, anatomical knowledge, technique refinement, and safety protocols to prevent complications and achieve natural outcomes. Recent innovations include combination therapies, regenerative injectables like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and devices using radiofrequency or ultrasound for skin rejuvenation. Minimally invasive approaches are particularly suitable for patients seeking subtle, low-risk enhancements or complementing surgical interventions. Ethical considerations, realistic outcome communication, and patient-centered planning are integral to practice. This area also explores emerging technologies in imaging and guided injection systems to enhance precision. Attendees gain practical insights into procedure selection, technique optimization, patient safety, and the integration of evidence-based innovations, enabling improved satisfaction and aesthetic results across a broad patient population.
