The Growth of Modern Cosmetic Technology

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Louis P. Bucky of Philadelphia describes the recent advances in cosmetic surgery technology. Technology is making the art of beauty more accessible and precise. If that wasn’t great enough, in some cases, it makes it cheaper! There’s no question that advances in technology have revolutionized cosmetic surgery in recent years. As board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Louis P. Bucky explains, innovation in cosmetic surgery treatment isn’t always about new technology, but how to use existing technology in different ways to deliver powerful results. SAME TECHNOLOGY, NEW TWIST Approaching the third decade of the new millennium, cosmetic surgery continues to surge. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported last year more than a 100% increase in the number of cosmetic surgery procedures performed in the United States since the year 2000. The most popular procedures are still liposuction, rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, but advancing technology allows more people to take advantage of non-invasive procedures that require little downtime, and are often less expensive. Some of the spike in cosmetic surgery can be attributed to a rise in technology. Other times, a new option in plastic surgery is a different twist using the same technology. “I think that innovation is not always the innovation of something new, but technological advancements can be the improvement of existing technology,” shares Dr. Bucky. “I think we are seeing this in plastic surgery all over. We are seeing this across the board.” Bucky says the change in technology is improving plastic surgery overall. “When you put all of that together, its cost effective. If you can achieve a result in two treatments the new way, verses five treatments the old way, even though they might have been cheaper, you come out way ahead in the new way. I believe that technologies that work are here to stay and we just refine them and improve them.” NEW TWIST ON BEAUTY Often, as plastic surgeons get comfortable with new technology, more treatments will emerge. That’s the case with CoolSculpting, which is the popular non-surgical fat removal technology. Dr. Bucky says CoolSculpting can now be used in different ways, making the treatment a viable option for more people. “CoolSculpting was originally just used to treat love handles in the belly area, that you could grab,” he explains. “Now, there are more indications for the neck area and the back of the arm.”
