You may have noticed that plastic surgeons are back in the spotlight. Pop culture, social media, and the internet have all played an important part in convincing new generations of people to consider plastic surgery. The industry has recovered from a downturn and is growing even faster. The Zoom Effect has had an impact even on the industry. Video calls and Zoom Boom are changing how people do business, and this has boosted interest in procedures above the shoulder.
Plastic surgery demand is on the rise
As the cost of plastic surgery falls, more people are opting to have it done. Many doctors have adjusted their schedules in order to accommodate this increased patient count. Many younger people have also become more educated about cosmetic procedures. This has made them more prepared for their consultations.
Millennials
Cosmetic procedures are a growing trend among millennials. This new generation of patients is looking to minimize invasive procedures, such as facelifts, and pursue minimally invasive procedures to maintain their youthful appearance.
Transgender patients
While transgender patients often find themselves underrepresented in plastic surgery, this shouldn't discourage them from seeking help. In fact, some patients have already found medical help for their gender identity issues. The options range from hormone therapy to surgeries. Many patients may need multiple procedures.
Hematoma
A hematoma following plastic surgery is a serious condition that can lead to infections, scarring or even necrosis. Although it is uncommon, patients should be aware that this condition can occur and take steps to prevent it.
Coolsculpting
The FDA has approved CoolSculpting. This procedure uses cold therapy as a method to reduce fat cells. While the procedure is not invasive, there are some side effects as well as pain. Cryolipolysis, also known to some, can create a flatter, firmer body within a matter of a few months.
Botulism
Botox injections may be safe if you have ever questioned their safety. Recent research has examined the evidence for cosmetic procedures using botulinum nervetoxins (BoNTs). The use of these toxins has changed the way doctors treat painful and cosmetic problems.
