KP Aesthetics Speaks on : Cosmetic Surgery!

As we age, our skin starts to lose its elasticity, and we begin to notice wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. While there are several ways to address these concerns, the most common ones are surgical and non-surgical procedures.

In this article, we will compare some of the most popular surgical and non-surgical procedures, including Blepharoplasty vs Morpheus8, Face Lift vs Radio Frequency Micro Needling and Thread Lifts, Liposuction vs Cristal Pro Fat Freezing, and Rhinoplasty vs nonsurgical Rhinoplasty using Dermal Filler.

Blepharoplasty vs Morpheus8

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids to give a more youthful and refreshed look. This procedure is suitable for women who have sagging eyelids or bags under their eyes.

On the other hand, Morpheus8 is a non-surgical procedure that uses radio-frequency energy and microneedling to tighten the skin around the eyes.

This treatment stimulates collagen production and can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

Both Blepharoplasty and Morpheus8 can help to rejuvenate the eye area. However, Blepharoplasty provides more dramatic results but requires more recovery time and has potential risks such as scarring, infection, and vision changes. Morpheus8 is a safer option with minimal downtime but may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

Face Lift vs Radio Frequency Micro Needling and Thread Lifts

Facelift is a surgical procedure that involves tightening the facial skin and muscles to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. This procedure is suitable for women who have significant signs of aging in their face and neck area.

On the other hand, Radio Frequency Micro Needling and Thread Lifts are non-surgical procedures that can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Radio Frequency Micro Needling uses heat to stimulate collagen production, while Thread Lifts lift and tighten the skin by inserting threads under the skin.

Facelift provides more significant results and can last up to 10 years, while Radio Frequency Micro Needling and Thread Lifts offer less dramatic results but require less recovery time and have fewer potential risks.

Rhinoplasty vs non-surgical Rhinoplasty using Dermal Filler

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the nose to improve its appearance or function. This procedure is suitable for people who have a crooked, hump, or bulbous nose.

On the other hand, non-surgical Rhinoplasty using Dermal Filler is a non-surgical procedure that uses injectable fillers to reshape the nose.

Liposuction vs Cristal Pro Fat Freezing

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. This procedure is suitable for women who have excess fat in these areas despite diet and exercise.

On the other hand, Cristal Pro Fat Freezing is a nonsurgical procedure that uses cold temperatures to freeze and destroy fat cells. This treatment is suitable for people who have small pockets of fat in specific areas of the body, such as the chin, arms, and thighs.

Liposuction provides more dramatic results, but it requires a longer recovery time and has more potential risks, such as bleeding, infection, and blood clots.

Cristal Pro Fat Freezing has a shorter recovery time, but it may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

Combining surgical and non-surgical procedures can offer several benefits to patients seeking cosmetic treatments. The following are some advantages of combining surgical and non-surgical procedures:

Comprehensive Results: For example, a patient may undergo a facelift to address sagging skin and wrinkles in the lower face and neck, and then complement the results with non-surgical injectable 'tweakments' to address lines and wrinkles in the upper face.

Improved Efficacy: We can combine laser resurfacing in conjunction with a surgical treatment to address uneven skin tone, texture, and reduce the appearance of scars.

Personalised Treatment Plan: We can address your unique concerns and goals, rather than providing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Long-Lasting Results: Combining surgical and nonsurgical treatments can offer long-lasting results with maintaining skin health, collagen production and skin rejuvenating treatments.
