There is a growing world of non-surgical procedures for the breast and body which patients are often very interested in. These range from fat reduction devices such as Sculpsure to injectable medications for facial rejuventation such as Botox and dermal fillers. Non-surgical treatments typically have little to no down-time or recovery involved and can be done in an office setting either with no anesthesia or with a topical numbing cream. Patients often wonder if they are good candidates for a non-surgical approach. The best answer to this is to discuss all options during your consultation. The answer depends very much on your individual anatomy, your personal goals and expectations, and your currently life situation. For many patients surgery many not be an ideal option at the current time due to job or family constraints. Non-invasive treatments can be the perfect option for improving an area which bothers you without the commitment of surgery. It is important, however, to understand the limitations of non-surgical treatments and the difference in outcome which would be expected between a treatment vs a surgical procedure for that area. This way you can make the most educated and informed decision about how to invest your time and money. Beware of locations and practices which only offer non-invasive options as they will likely not be able to guide you as to all the options and which one is truly right for you.
