Abstract

Everyone’s desire is to become the best version of the themselves, especially when it comes to the appearances and that has driven the development of various aesthetic procedures. Especially non-surgical procedures are lately gaining much of attention, as they represent less risk and are also more affordable for the patient. This article provides an overview of the most common nonsurgical aesthetic procedures currently in use together with reasons for their growing popularity. We will start with the background of how it all started and advanced and look closer at the process of aging, in order to understand the changes which are later addressed through the treatments. Most common complications that may occur will be mentioned. The review will also look into the pain management techniques most commonly offered to the patient in order to make the treatment more pleasant experience. Finally, this article will discuss the importance of checking the patient’s smoking status pre-procedurally, the different approach that should be taken when dealing with male patient and have an insight into ethical aspect. In order to select the best approach for individual patient we must consider many factors, such as their health conditions, unique anatomic characteristics, tissue quality as well as take into account their expectations. This way we will also achieve the best results.

Abstract (croatian)

Svačija želja je postati najbolja verzija sebe, posebno kada je u pitanju izgled, što je pokrenulo razvoj različitih estetskih postupaka. U posljednje vrijeme osobito privlače pažnju nekirurški zahvati jer predstavljaju minimalni rizik te su pristupačni za pacijente. Ovaj članak daje pregled najčešćih nekirurških estetskih postupaka koji se trenutno koriste, zajedno s razlozima njihove sve veće popularnosti. Započet ćemo s ranim razvojem i napredovanjem, te sagledati bliže proces starenja kako bismo razumjeli promjene koje se kasnije rješavaju kroz tretmane. Spomenut ćemo najčešće moguće komplikacije te razmotriti tehnike liječenja boli koje se pacijentima nude kako bi se liječenje učinilo ugodnijim iskustvom. Konačno, ovaj pregled će raspraviti važnost pretproceduralne provjere pušenja, različitog pristupa kod muških pacijenata i uvid u etički aspekt nekirurških zahvata. Da bi odabrali najbolji pristup za pojedinog pacijenta, moramo uzeti u obzir mnoge čimbenike kao zdravstveno stanje, jedinstvene anatomske karakteristike, kvaliteta tkiva, te njihova očekivanja kako bismo postigli najbolje rezultate.
