A study to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of complications in various aesthetic procedures.

1. Title of the project :

A study to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of complications in various aesthetic procedures.

2. Background :

A. Rationale :

 The use of aesthetic dermatology procedures is rapidly increasing, leading to a greater need to understand complication patterns and their burden, especially in darker skin types where pigmentary and textural changes are more common. Existing data are largely from Western populations and do not accurately reflect the risks observed in Fitzpatrick III–VI skin.

There is limited Indian evidence on the incidence, types and prognosis of complications across common aesthetic procedures. A focused study will help identify risk factors, understand the expected recovery patterns and support in development of safer procedure protocols, better counselling practices and practical management guidelines.

B. Expected outcome & Application :

 The study is expected to provide reliable data on frequency, types and prognostic patterns of complications that occur in common aesthetic procedures. It will also help identify key risk factors and guide in development of safer practice protocols, improved patient counselling and evidence-based management strategies for complications.

3. Ai****m and objectives :

  AIM-

 To evaluate the incidence and prognosis of complications in various aesthetic procedures.

 OBJECTIVE:

 1.     To determine the incidence of complications across various aesthetic procedures.

2.     To evaluate and classify the types and severity of the complications.

3.     To assess the prognosis, including duration, need for intervention, treatment response and long-term sequelae

Data collection methods including settings & periodicity: Patient registers, History taking, follow-up.

List variable-wise statistical tests to be used for data analysis: Percentages, proportions, descriptive analysis, chi square test and t-test.
