Recently, Dr. Thomas Wright, medical director at Laser Lipo and Vein Center, was highlighted in an article published on INC.com. The INC article covered the many ways that cosmetic surgery procedures have changed over the past decade. The article stated that during the past decade or so, most cosmetic procedures were not really considered legitimate procedures, rather they were "fringe" treatments. This was due to the fact that there were many scandals, side effects, and low-quality results associated with them, causing these treatments to be dismissed by the general public.
