Non-invasive Alternatives to Today’s Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures

Improving your appearance with plastic surgery is safer, more affordable, and more effective than ever before. However, it’s still a big step, and not always a necessary one. You can get the look you want with non-invasive aesthetic treatments, without the associated cost, discomfort, and recovery time that comes with plastic surgery. Here are the medical aesthetic treatments that can compete with today’s most popular surgical procedures.   

Why You Should Try Non-Invasive Alternatives to Plastic Surgery 

 If you’ve been considering plastic surgery, there are several reasons you may want to try a non-invasive aesthetic treatment instead: 

They work. Medical aesthetic procedures, like those delivered by Venus Treatment devices, are backed by science, clinically proven to be effective, and deliver visible results. 

They’re more affordable. Depending on the procedure and where you live, plastic surgery can cost thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars, making aesthetic treatments far easier on your budget. 

They’re safe and require no downtime. Unlike surgery, which can involve serous side effects, scarring, and may require a long recovery time, non-invasive treatments incur little risk, are completed in as little as half an hour, and have no downtime. 

Additionally, medical aesthetic treatments are ideal if you’d like to try a surgical procedure, but aren’t quite ready to dive in yet.  

Alternatives for the Face  

Here are today’s most popular plastic surgeries for the face, and the non-invasive aesthetic treatments to try instead.   

Blepharoplasty   

A blepharoplasty is an eyelid rejuvenation surgery that removes extra skin from above, below, and around the eye, tightening the overall look of the area for a more youthful appearance. Beyond signs of aging, the surgery is also used to correct uneven eyelids and other issues, and it’s as popular with men as it is with women, making it one of the most sought-after procedures today, but incurring significant recovery time.  

Non-Invasive Alternatives: If your goal is to refresh the eye area, you can do so without resorting to surgery. Restoring the youthful vitality of the eye area can be achieved with skin tightening and wrinkle reduction treatments to firm and smooth the skin, and photorejuvenation to brighten the complexion and fade age spots and hyperpigmentation.  

Buccal Fat Pad Removal 

A trending procedure currently popular with celebrities, this procedure removes fatty tissue from the inside of the cheeks, bringing a more sculpted look to the face and jawline.  

Non-Invasive Alternatives: Getting a more sculpted look to the face can be done with non-invasive treatments like radio frequency skin tightening and skin resurfacing.  

• Skin tightening treatments firm and tighten skin by kickstarting the natural production of collagen and elastin, two important building blocks for smooth, youthful-looking skin.  
• Skin resurfacing stimulates the skin’s natural healing process to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion, resolving issues like fine lines, age spots, and scarring.  

Facelifts and Fillers  

Injectables are increasingly popular for combatting the signs of anti-aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, lax skin, and sagging in the jowl area. Facelifts, one of the most perennially popular plastic surgeries, can also restore a more youthful appearance, but are costly and require significant downtime.  

Non-Invasive Alternatives: Put your best face forward quickly and effectively with one of these sought-after aesthetic treatments: 

• Radio frequency skin tightening and wrinkle reduction smooths, firms, and tightens the skin for a more youthful, sculpted appearance. 
• Skin resurfacing is one of the most in-demand treatments today due to its ability to restore the skin, resolving issues such as premature signs of aging, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, and more.   
• Photorejuvenation treatments use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to revitalize facial skin from the inside out, undoing sun damage for a brighter, clearer complexion.  

Alternatives for the Body  

Here are today’s most popular plastic surgeries for the body, and the non-invasive aesthetic treatments to try instead. 

Brazilian Butt Lift  

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that involves the removal, processing, and reinjection of fat deposits into the upper butt area to create a rounded, lifted bum.  

Non-Invasive Alternatives: If a firm, lifted butt is your goal, then non-invasive lipolysis and body shaping treatments are ideal for you. 

• Fat reduction treatments deliver similar results to the liposuction portion of a Brazilian Butt Lift, using diode laser applicators to break down and reduce fat in chosen areas of the body.  
• For body contouring, Venus Legacy™ is an all-in-one treatment system that highlights cellulite reduction, wrinkle reduction, and body smoothing.  

Liposuction & Lipo-sculpting  

Liposuction is a surgical procedure by which a long tube is inserted under the skin to apply suction, removing fat from areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck in order to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. Liposuction is considered a serious surgery and requires significant healing and recovery time. 

Non-invasive Alternatives: For a slimmer, more sculpted appearance, non-invasive treatments can reduce inches, tighten the skin, and smooth away cellulite—without the recovery time surgery requires.  

• Fat reduction treatments melt away fatty tissue for a slimmer appearance in even the most stubborn areas.  
• Cellulite reduction and skin tightening treatments work to deliver a smoother, more toned appearance in areas where you need it most, or all over for a shape you’ll love to show off. 

Muscle Implants & Dermal Fillers 

Using injectables to get a bodybuilder’s physique is a fast-growing trend. For this procedure, fillers are injected into and around the desired area to create the look of built-up muscle tissue, similar to what would be achieved by many hours in the gym. However, this is still a fairly new frontier and comes with risks; additionally, this method isn’t actually creating muscle tissue.   

Non-Invasive Alternative: Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) treatments produce contractions in your muscle tissue the same as a workout would. Venus Bliss MAX™ electrical muscle stimulation is a safe, effective way to enhance the muscles you already have, build new muscule, and condition, tone, and define your muscles without having to hit the gym.
