Social Media Boosts Demand for
Plastic Surgery Procedures

Social media has become a part of our daily lives. Millions of
people are active on social media and most check their profiles
more than once a day. Besides allowing you to communicate and
share your thoughts, posting pictures of yourself on social
media platforms is a great way to tell your story. Visuals are
important and everybody wants to look their best. In fact,
according to a recent report in Time, the desire to look good on
Facebook is spiking requests for plastic surgery!
The Internet is rife with stories of celebrity-inspired plastic
surgeries. Women looking for arms like Michelle Obama’s and a
nose like Kate Middleton’s are no longer news. And expert
plastic surgeons are successfully catering to these whims,
helping men and women look more like their favorite idols.
Now, people are getting inspiration from a new source – social
media sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. The
annual poll of the American Academy of Facial and
Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) covered 752 AAFPRS board-
certified facial plastic surgeons. The survey showed that the 31%
increase in requests for plastic surgery this year were the result
of social media activity and how people wanted to present
themselves on Facebook.

The survey also reported higher demand for cosmetic surgery
procedures compared to reconstructive procedures. Popular
procedures include rhinoplasty, Botox and facelifts.
Plastic Surgery and Business Professionals
Professionals are particularly concerned about their appearance
on their online profile. Facebook LinkedIn, and MySpace are
extremely popular for professional and business networking.
Employers check profiles on Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and
Twitter to find about a potential employee - their likes, dislikes,
and personality. You are likely to be Googled or Facebooked
before a prospective employer meets you in person. Many
studies have explored correlations between attractiveness and
professional recognition, hiring decisions, promotions, and
differences in salary levels.
High profile executives who get photographed all the time are
among those who are opting for cosmetic procedures from Botox
to neck lifts as they are concerned about how they look on high
definition television, Facebook, YouTube and other social media
platforms.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), a
rise is seen in the upper arm lift procedure and the reason for
this rise is found to be women’s inspiration from Michelle
Obama’s triceps.
Social Media to find a Reliable Plastic Surgeon
One issue of concern is that the AAFPRS survey found that social
media is not serving as a resource for patients looking for a
cosmetic surgeon. Comments from previous patients about their
doctors and their procedures posted on social media sites can be
valuable when it comes to making a decision on surgery, choosing
a doctor and learning about a procedure. Reliable plastic
surgeons are active on social media to interact with existing and
new patients and provide them with the information they need.
