HE DYNAMICS OF THE GLOBAL LANDSCAPE OF COSMETIC MEDICINE AND aesthetic surgery is always evolving. There was a period when Europe and Asia looked to the US for the next big thing. Lasers and light-based devices were typically launched stateside, while physicians in other markets were clamouring to get their hands on them. Today, medical devices and other technological innovations tend to be launched almost simultaneously, except perhaps in the case of neurotoxins and dermal fillers,


where the US regulatory path is so much longer than most other markets. I particularly enjoy presenting at meetings outside the US to learn what our European, South


American and Asian colleagues are doing. For example, soft needles and cannulae for fat and fillers were popularised in Europe long before we started using them in the US. Advancements in aesthetic medicine stem from numerous sources; they may be novel methods put forth by one or a handful of pioneers who looked at a problem in a new way to find a solution. New developments may also come from modifications on time-honoured therapies or unique combinations of modalities. Regardless of how these innovations get introduced, there is one constant: every breakthrough begins


with an idea and a vision. It may be based on a little known technical pearl or clinical finding. Often, these advances take the courage of forward-thinking practitioners to run with it and make it a reality. However, without continued research, clinical data and scientific forums in which to share them,


breakthroughs would not emerge at such a rapid pace. Our industry seems to be closing the gap, fuelled in part by collaborations between specialists on a global basis. The ability to communicate our methods and unique expertise with international colleagues facilitates an open exchange of ideas and advancements. This dialogue propels each of us as physicians to excel at what we do and how we do it. While it is true that a subset of consumers are motivated to seek out less invasive or non-surgical


procedures, I believe there will always be a place for surgery, particularly for regions in which non-surgical treatments will only get you so far, such as rhinoplasty, necklifts, and breast and body lifts. There is no doubt that consumers want safer, faster, better procedures that have less downtime, risks


and scars. Based on this growing consumer demand, it has become imperative for aesthetic practitioners to offer a broader range of services to meet patientsÕ requests, or at a minimum, to have a network of like-minded colleagues to refer patients for treatments not offered in your practice. While some of us are relatively content with the protocols and methods that have been used for decades,
