    TLDR Dermatologists are increasingly developing surgical methods for cosmetic procedures.
    The document reviewed the instrumentation used in cosmetic surgery procedures as of 1988, focusing on techniques such as hair transplantation, scalp reduction, liposuction, lipoinjection, and dermabrasion. It highlighted the evolving role of dermatologists in developing surgical methods to correct aesthetic defects, building on their traditional focus on medical treatments and skin care products. The chapter did not cover laser technologies, and a detailed review of surgical instruments and their maintenance was noted to be available in another source.
