“The field of cosmetic plastic surgery has been progressing rapidly over the last several years with introductions to new therapies such as new neurotoxins, fillers, and new non-invasive body and facial treatments. The future of this field will always advance based on the demands of our patients. They demand more non-invasive treatments, with less downtime and more natural, long-lasting results.
People lead busy lives and can’t afford the recovery and downtime associated with traditional surgery. I believe new therapies, such as Nano-fat and stem cell technologies, will become more common as part of our armamentarium to offer our patients.
Although still controversial, the regenerative potential of these treatments are being proven in many clinical studies throughout the world, not only for cosmetic and plastic reconstruction but also to treat many diseases including osteoarthritis, blindness, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.
This is an exciting new era we are entering.
Of course, there will always be a need for surgery to treat certain cosmetic and reconstructive problems. These include breast reconstruction after mastectomy, facelifts for the aging face (but this can be postponed by treatments with non-invasive and less invasive therapies), breast lifts and reductions, tummy tucks, and reconstruction for trauma.”
