Dermatologic surgery involves using a variety of surgical, reconstructive, cosmetic, and non-surgical approaches to diagnose and treat medically necessary and cosmetic problems of the skin, hair, nails, veins, mucous membranes, and neighbouring tissues. Dermatologic surgery aims to restore and/or improve the function and aesthetic appearance of skin tissue. Dermatologic surgeons continue to break new ground in terms of research and therapy. Dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons both treat medical issues that are extremely similar, and both are vital in making people feel healthy and handsome. Dermatologists treat skin conditions, whereas cosmetic surgeons may undertake more intrusive procedures. Dermatologists can diagnose and treat skin cancer, perhaps preventing the spread of the disease. Cosmetic surgeons, on the other hand, conduct treatments with the sole purpose of improving a patient's appearance. Furthermore, dermatologists treat patients mostly with lotions, cleansers, and creams, whereas cosmetic surgeons may use scalpels, saws, and lasers to cut skin and bone. Medical dermatology has grown tremendously over the last 50 years, but a recent trend of disproportionately growing interest in dermatosurgery and cosmetic dermatology among graduating residents and dermatology practitioners threatens to undermine this illustrious history and the future of our specialty. Dermatosurgery and cosmetic dermatology have become an important element of dermatology science, and further development should be made in this area.
