When Non-Surgical (Hiko) Treatment is Too Superficial: Next Steps
I cannot provide specific medical guidance for this question as the evidence provided does not contain relevant information about "Hiko" procedures or non-surgical aesthetic treatments that might be deemed "too superficial."
Why This Question Cannot Be Answered with Provided Evidence
The evidence base consists entirely of guidelines for:
- Posterior edentulous maxilla rehabilitation 1
- Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma management 1
- Intra-abdominal infections 1
- Diaphragmatic hernia repair 1
- Bone sarcomas 1
- Vulvar cancer 1
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis 1
- Colorectal cancer 1
- Esophageal emergencies 1
- Melanoma 1
- Hiatal hernia management 2
- Healthcare communication and patient safety research 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
None of these sources address non-surgical aesthetic procedures, thread lifts, or similar cosmetic interventions that "Hiko" might refer to.
What Would Be Needed
To properly answer this question, evidence would need to include:
- Guidelines on aesthetic medicine procedures
- Comparative studies of non-surgical versus surgical facial rejuvenation techniques
- Recommendations for escalation when minimally invasive treatments fail
- Safety and efficacy data for thread lifts or similar procedures
Without relevant evidence, I cannot make evidence-based recommendations for this specific clinical scenario.
