Abstract
Treatment planning for medical cosmetic procedures is a challenge. When we compare it with the medical interventions, one becomes aware of the difference. One reason is that minimal invasive cosmetic procedures are relatively new when compared with cardiology where commonly used interventions such as cardiovascular stent applications have a much longer history of use. Another difference is the different input of the patient. When a patient sees a cardiologist for high blood pressure, for example, the treatment planning is usually done by the doctor and not by the patient. There may be slight different approaches among cardiologists, but when following existing guidelines, we might assume quite consistent and reproducible treatment suggestions. But when it comes to aesthetics and cosmetic procedures, the rules are different.
