In an interview with IGIHE<\/strong>, Dr. Ian Shyaka, a reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgeon at NeoDerma Clinica, breaks down what plastic surgery really involves, the difference between surgical and non-surgical treatments, and what patients should understand before making any decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding plastic surgery vs aesthetic treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dr. Shyaka, plastic surgery is fundamentally a medical specialty that involves surgical procedures aimed at reconstructing or refining the shape, form, or function of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlastic surgery involves surgical procedures to reconstruct or refine the shape, form, or function of the body,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt is generally more invasive than aesthetic treatments and often provides more definitive, longer-lasting results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He contrasts this with aesthetic treatments, which are non-surgical, office-based procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers, and laser treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These procedures are typically quick, often taking around 30 minutes, and allow patients to return home the same day. However, their effects are temporary and usually require repeated sessions every few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, surgical procedures are designed to deliver more lasting outcomes in a single intervention. For example, conditions such as excess skin or overly large breasts can be corrected surgically, offering long-term improvement in both appearance and comfort, even though natural aging continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Services offered in modern plastic surgery practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At NeoDerma Clinica, Dr. Shyaka explains that patients can access both non-surgical aesthetic services and surgical procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He contrasts this with aesthetic treatments\u2014non-surgical, office-based procedures. These include Botox to smooth wrinkles, dermal fillers to restore facial volume, and laser treatments to target scars and skin imperfections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surgical side, procedures include breast reduction, liposuction for stubborn fat deposits, and gynecomastia correction, a procedure addressing enlarged male breast tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
