Pandemic Ushers in ‘Zoom Boom’ Era of Cosmetic Surgery

While many industries have suffered throughout the pandemic, the plastic surgery industry has done nothing but boom. The reason? People have been spending more time than ever in front of the webcam. Because of this, the surge has come to be known as the ‘Zoom Boom’ by many plastic surgeons.

We all know that webcams aren’t flattering, but that doesn’t stop people from feeling self-conscious about their appearance after looking at themselves through one for hours every day. Another reason for this rise in cosmetic procedures may be that people’s work schedules are more flexible timewise, with more and more companies adopting work-from-home schedules, making the recovery process easier and more practical. In addition, people have been staying in more and therefore have more disposable income than usual to put toward cosmetic procedures.

The impact of this is a dramatic rise in facial plastic surgery procedures. In fact, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 70% of doctors have seen an increase in patients requesting these types of procedures throughout the pandemic. More specifically:

• Rhinoplasty (nose job) procedures rose by 78%.
• Facelift procedures rose by 69%.
• Eyelift procedures rose by 65%.
• Neck lift procedures rose by 58%.
