Beauty is one of those topics that’s on most people’s minds. Simply put, our appearance can have a huge impact on our self-esteem and confidence. If you don’t like how you look, it’s hard to love yourself. It’s unfortunate because there’s so much more to people than their appearance, but you’d be surprised at how much improving your appearance can boost your confidence.
However, some people don’t want to make the full step toward surgical body enhancement treatments. But some other options might appeal to you more.
In short, non-surgical procedures are treatments that change the shape or appearance of your body without requiring you to go under the knife. You will typically be awake during this treatment, although a local anaesthetic will usually be used.
Generally, these treatments involve injections or laser treatments. The nature of the procedure will change depending on what you’re having done.
While every procedure carries a measure of risk, non-surgical treatments are far less risky than the alternative. This is because most of the risks of surgery are related to the general anaesthetic and the scalpel. True, cosmetic surgery is less risky than emergency surgery, but it’s still more dangerous than not having any surgery at all.
Non-surgical treatments are usually fairly quick, with sessions that last under an hour. True, this varies depending on the treatment itself, but you’ll often be in and out in the same amount of time it takes to get a mani-pedi.
As well as being safer and quicker than surgery, non-surgical treatments have far less aftercare. After surgery, you will have to wait for your wounds to heal before you can see what the results should look like. However, with non-surgical treatments, there is less healing and you can often see the results right away.
There are some downsides to non-surgical treatments. The main one is that the results aren’t permanent. You will need top-up treatments now and then if you want to maintain your new look. However, this does make non-surgical treatments more flexible. You can always go back to your old look if you want.
As well as being less permanent, you are more limited with what you can do with non-surgical treatments. Fillers can’t make drastic changes to your appearance. For example, a liquid rhinoplasty can do wonders to improve the shape of your nose and smooth it out, but it can’t change the shape entirely. It also can’t make your nose any smaller.
If you want to make a minor, but meaningful change to your body or facial shape, then non-surgical treatments might be the option for you. They usually work by adding material, so if you want fat or skin removed, then you will need surgery. You will also need surgery for major adjustments.
However, for many people, the non-surgical option is safer and more convenient. You can be in and out on the same day so you can feel more confident right away.
