The technological advancements in recent years paved way to more convenient methods of doing a variety of things. These developments have been beneficial in so many ways, particularly in areas that deal with life-and-death such as medicine.
In the field of surgery itself, these technological growths have helped save and improve lives. Reconstructive surgery, which is intended for non-vanity caprices, helps correct facial deformity and skull damage, among others, which result from trauma injuries, accidents, and other unfortunate events. Through the now prevalent 3-D computer modeling that some institutions use, helping patients recover and live a better life becomes more possible.

Aside from reconstructive surgery, there is also cosmetic surgery that helps both men and women find a renewed sense of confidence. Some of the new products, procedures, and technologies that are making waves in cosmetic surgery, as shared by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons are:
AccuSculpt/AccuLiftTM Laser Lipolysis System. This is a laser-assisted liposuction procedure that can be used in all areas of the body.
Focused Ultrasound Body Contouring. It is a non-invasive body contouring method that aims to be complementary to liposuction.
