Talking about surgery and aesthetic medicine is increasingly internalized within society. Gone are the taboos. Famous and not so famous are undergoing more and more frequently different aesthetic operations. Breast augmentation and reduction, rhinoplasty, liposuction, otoplasty … Endless interventions that are increasingly in demand in society.
But, what is the difference between Aesthetic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine? Although both are different, they complement each other and coexist in perfect harmony with the aim of adapting to the needs of each person.
Aesthetic Medicine has as “objectives the restoration, maintenance and promotion of aesthetics, beauty and health, through medical practices and small interventions limited to the use of topical or local anesthesia”, says the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine.
Currently, aesthetic touch-ups continue in constant evolution and growth in both men and women. The increase in security has generated a normalization of this alternative as part of a comprehensive health path, becoming part of the personal care of each one.
Although both are different, they complement each other and coexist in perfect harmony with the aim of adapting to the needs of each person.
Some of the most demanded treatments are botox, laser, radiofrequency treatments, hyaluronic acid infiltration, or body treatments to reduce fat and treat cellulite.
Although it is sometimes difficult to differentiate aesthetic medicine from Cosmetic Surgery, its main difference lies in the name itself: surgery requires surgical intervention, while aesthetic medicine does not.
These types of interventions are used to correct certain anomalies or physical defects with which it is necessary to go through the operating room. In these cases, it is essential to have a trusted surgeon, who has the experience to achieve the goal.
Anesthesia is one of the main fears of those who undergo operations, but “it is one of the safest procedures in medicine” says Dr. González de Martín del Yerro, head of the anesthesia service of the Martín del Yerro team.
