ABSTRACT
Cosmetic procedures are gaining popularity as quick, lunchtime procedures. Both physicians and patients are satisfied with these procedures, as they are office based and do not have significant downtime. However, even small complications in these settings can prove a drawback, and understanding the science behind these cosmetic procedures becomes imperative in avoiding as well as treating emergent complications in this subgroup of patients.
The chapter provides an overview of the most common cosmetic treatments done and examines the probable emergencies and complications associated with them. A simple treatment plan is outlined to avoid and treat such emergencies.
