If you've been watching the news recently, you may have noticed that plastic surgery is becoming more popular. Pop culture and social media played a key role in encouraging new generations to get interested in plastic surgeons. The industry has grown faster than ever since a downturn. The Zoom Effect has had an impact even on the industry. Zoom Boom, video calls and Zoom Boom have changed the way people do business and have sparked interest in procedures other than those above the shoulder.
The demand for plastic surgery is on the rise
As the cost of plastic surgery falls, more people are opting to have it done. Many doctors are adjusting their schedules to accommodate the increased number of patients. People of a younger age are becoming more informed about cosmetic procedures. They arrive at consultations better prepared.
Millennials
Millennials are more interested in cosmetic procedures than ever before. These patients are looking for minimally invasive procedures that will not cause scarring or damage to their skin, such as facelifts.
Transgender patients
While transgender patients often find themselves underrepresented in plastic surgery, this shouldn't discourage them from seeking help. Some patients have actually found medical treatment for their gender identity concerns. There are many options, from hormone therapy to surgery. Many patients may need multiple procedures.
Hematoma
Hematomas after plastic surgery can cause severe complications, including scarring and even necrosis. Although it is rare, patients should be aware and take preventative steps to avoid this condition.
Coolsculpting
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved procedure that uses cold therapy to destroy fat cells. While the procedure is not invasive, there are some side effects as well as pain. The process, also known as cryolipolysis, can produce a flatter, firmer body in as little as one to three months.
Botulism
Botox injections can be dangerous, so don't be surprised if you have. Recent studies have analyzed the research evidence of cosmetic procedures using botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). The treatment of cosmetic and painful conditions has changed dramatically due to the introduction of these toxins.
