Facile Technique: misleading misinformation

You will hear about procedures that don't really exist as cosmetic physicians try set themselves apart from their competitors. Here is an example sent in by a reader: "As defined, the Facile Technique is a newer, better, and more importantly a safer process in plastic surgery". Read more about this here.  The actual technique is never described and there are no scientific papers available describing this technique and its results as named. The term "bladeless" is also misleading, because an incision is made nonetheless, with either a 'cautery knife' or a 'radiofrequency knife'.  This may be an example of marketing gone too far.

This is not true, "no one has had ribs removed" My mother met Rachel Welsh's plastic surgeon years ago..and she streamlined her torso, by rib removal. I wasn't there at the surgury, but have heard about his over the years. Don't know if Cher ever did this.

Thanks. I'll add "Facile Technique" to "Finesse Rhinoplasty" to my fun facts of misleading terms to know.
