"Drink hyaluronic acid drink, say goodbye to dullness, have moisture and brightness!" "Beauty is not a dream, let you wake up and become a devil in seconds! With the face of an angel! ”…… Isn't this kind of advertising slogan tempting and makes people feel the urge to go to beauty in an instant? In recent years, "Micro Plastic Surgery" has impressed many people with its slogan of "less trauma, quick effect, safe and convenient, and go to work immediately after surgery". Some private beauty institutions and private clinics have also targeted this market, exaggerated publicity, and illegally carried out some medical beauty service projects, which has made many beauty lovers from "micro-plastic surgery" to "severe trauma". But is that really the case? Today I will take you to really understand "micro plastic surgery".

"Micro-plastic surgery" refers to the use of various high-tech and materials as well as personalized fine operations, using the smallest surgical incision or no incision as much as possible to replace the plastic and cosmetic treatment effect of traditional incisional surgery. Broadly speaking, "microplastic surgery" includes endoscopic technology, laser cosmetology, microdermabrasion, hyaluronic acid injection, autologous fat grafting and filling, face slimming injection, facial liposuction, abdominal liposuction, nasal, eye and ear microplastic surgery, etc. In recent years, with the rapid development of biomaterials, injection beauty has sprung up, chaos has emerged, and "injection beauty" has become an important part of "microplastic surgery".

Common treatments include botulinum toxin injections, hyaluronic acid injections, and autologous fat injections.

1. Botulinum toxin injection

Botox injections (i.e. wrinkle removal, face slimming, leg slimming injections) are injections for facial muscles or calves, Botox acts on the facial muscles to relax the facial muscles and reduce the wrinkles and lines caused by the contraction of the facial muscles, thereby improving the wrinkles and contours of the face.

Scope of application:

1. Improve facial dynamic lines, dynamic lines caused by facial muscle movement contraction, such as forehead lines, eye wrinkles (crow's feet), and mouth wrinkles;

2. Improve the face of the Chinese character caused by muscle hypertrophy, so that the facial contours are clearer and more youthful;

3. Improve the problems of radish legs caused by hypertrophy of calf gastrocnemius muscle;

2. Hyaluronic acid injection

Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide molecule, which is an absorbable and degradable filling material with good biocompatibility. Scope of application:

1. Filling of depressions in the temporal, cheeks, orbits, nasolabial folds, and jaws;

2. The shape of the nose, the size of the earlobe, the modification of the shape of the lips, etc.;

3. The congenital face contour is asymmetrical, through the injection of hyaluronic acid, the face can look more balanced and coordinated, increase the beauty of facial curves, and the shape is natural and realistic.

3. Autologous fat injection

Autologous fat injection is used to fill the temporal area, cheeks, orbital and nasolabial folds, jaw, breasts, etc. by suctioning autologous fat.

"Minimally invasive double eyelid formation" (double eyelid formation) is formed by the method of thread embedding or three-point small incision suture, and the suture method is to bury the beauty sutures into the eyelid skin and tarsal plate through a fine suture method to form adhesions to maintain the shape of the double eyelids. The three-point small incision suture method only requires three micro-incisions in the eyelid skin, and then forms a firm and stable double eyelid through direct sutures inside, which is simple to operate and quick to recover, and is suitable for single eyelids without eyelid laxity and swollen eyes.

Laser treatment: Stimulate skin collagen regeneration and remodeling through unique laser equipment to achieve the effect of skin tightening, wrinkle removal and whitening, and can also treat skin pigment diseases, such as freckles, Ota nevus, and cutaneous vascular diseases (capillary hemangioma, venous hemangioma, etc.).

Characteristics of microplastic surgery: Microplastic surgery is usually a non-permanent plastic surgery, compared with the traditional open plastic surgery beauty, no incision, with low risk, flexible and simple operation, no incision, short treatment time, little pain for patients, small damage to normal tissues, light inflammatory reaction, no obvious visible traces after surgery, fast postoperative recovery, no need to be hospitalized, no impact on normal work or little impact, convenient for secondary repair and adjustment, etc., and has many unique advantages in wrinkle removal, anti-aging, facial filler and shaping.

Risks of micro-plastic surgery: micro-plastic surgery has a good effect, no surgery, many beauty seekers think that there is no risk in its operation, in fact, although micro-plastic surgery does not need to be operated, it still belongs to the scope of medical behavior, there are certain medical risks, especially the injection products used should be guaranteed, the purchase channels should be regular, the injection position and dosage should be accurate, and the sterility requirements should be high, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the beauty seeker, such as not strict disinfection, which may cause infection of the body, and even the risk of AIDS infection. Improper placement or dosage of botulinum toxin injection may lead to rigid expressions, asymmetry of the left and right size of the face, etc., and overdose or injection of illegal products may lead to systemic adverse reactions and even death; Surgeries such as hyaluronic acid injection, autologous fat grafting or liposuction, if the operator is not familiar with human anatomy, the injection material is injected into the blood vessels, which can cause local skin necrosis, eye blindness, and even vascular fat embolism that threatens the life of the patient.

Selection of microplastic surgery diagnosis and treatment institutions: According to relevant regulations, only hospitals with medical aesthetic qualifications in mainland China can carry out microplastic surgery. However, in recent years, due to the prevalence of micro-plastic surgery, the problem of market chaos is also very serious, especially the micro-plastic injection beauty is blooming everywhere, some illegal beauty institutions or private clinics infinitely exaggerate the efficacy, the operating room environment is poor and unsterilized, the lack of rescue facilities, the lack of cosmetic qualification doctors, the medical operation process is not standardized, the operator has not undergone standardized training, the medical behavior is not standardized or illegal medical practice, etc., resulting in a series of beauty disputes, bringing huge safety hazards to consumers. It is recommended that the majority of beauty seekers must carefully choose medical beauty institutions, choose regular beauty hospitals and doctors who have obtained beauty qualifications to operate, and the purchase channels of materials used in microplastic surgery and related operation rooms and operating procedures are guaranteed, so as to minimize the risk as much as possible.
