In certain areas of the face and in certain patients with moderate to advanced aging, a surgical option can be superior in terms of:
Longevity
Return on investment/cost-effectiveness
Natural appearance
Overall results
Another factor confusing consumers is the plethora of providers on the market that are not actually professionally trained in these procedures. In today’s world, we have pediatricians, gynecologists, E.R. physicians, and more providing aesthetic services. Since many of these providers are not trained surgeons, they have little knowledge to truly counsel patients with respect to all of their options, both surgical and non-surgical.
