Dr. Loren Borud Discusses Plastic Surgery Trends: Non- Surgical Procedures

Plastic surgery continues to change the face of the medical industry, and with the innovations in aesthetic and cosmetic surgery, Dr. Loren Borud believes that the industry will continue to have new trends. New procedures have been introduced, and non-invasive procedures are particularly becoming more and more favored by doctors and patients alike.

Getting plastic surgery is usually done to improve one’s appearance or to correct physical deformities. And what better way to achieve this than by non-surgical techniques? Non-surgical procedures do not require prolonged recovery periods unlike surgical procedures, giving patients ease and convenience while achieving the desired results, at a fairly cheaper rate.

Dr. Loren Borud became well-known for body contouring surgery after severe weight loss, but there are popular non-surgical cellulite reduction procedures recommended for particular target areas such as mesotherapy and Lipodissolve™. Mesotherapy involves the stimulation of the middle layer of the skin (called the mesoderm) through injections made of vitamins, homeopathic medications and pharmaceuticals. These formulations cause the fat to be broken down and naturally flushed out of the body. Lipodissolve™ is pretty similar to mesotherapy’s approach —the only difference is that Lipodissolve™ uses a more concentrated formulation. Most patients who undergo mesotherapy advance to Lipodissolve™ for even better results.

Dr. Loren Borud discusses how trends change and affect the field of plastic surgery in his book “Plastikonomics: What I Learned as a Harvard Plastic Surgeon”. He also talks about plastic surgery behind the scenes, showing readers how doctors and patients make decisions about plastic surgery.
