Preface
Minimally invasive plastic surgery has become the fastest growing cosmetic
field. However, the use of unscientific methods and misunderstood treatments
persist. Complications develop because of two causes: (1) the variations in
facial anatomy and (2) the doctor’s negligence. Continuous learning and
studying is essential for better results.
MIPS is a small group of board-certified Korean plastic surgeons who
innovate upon and study minimally invasive procedures. Our aim was to find
methods to constantly improve patient results and to consequently share the
knowledge to improve the patient results on a larger scale. We publish articles
and present at several conferences to share our experiences and findings. We
are publishing this book containing the latest scientific knowledge related to
botulinum toxin, filler injections, thread lifting, and other minimally invasive
esthetic procedures.
There are various innovative techniques for administering botulinum
toxin. While botulinum toxin type A has been used widely, type B and E will
also be used soon. Botulinum toxin microinjection techniques are also essen-
tial to know about. More and more techniques will be developed.
Filler injections are commonly used for increasing volume. Easy injec-
tions and immediate results have helped the technique grow rapidly. However,
several vascular and nonvascular complications can occur. The latest compli-
cations are discussed in this book.
Thread lifting is also a fast-growing technique for esthetic fields, with the
development of several techniques for the face, neck, and body area. We have
described many of the techniques in this book.
Patient safety is the most important aspect of these medical procedures
and should be performed using science-based knowledge. Extensive anatomi-
cal knowledge is crucial for successful minimally invasive esthetic proce-
dures. We have included several illustrations and cases to facilitate the
increase in anatomical knowledge.
