Cosmetic Surgery

How has Covid-19 impacted Cosmetic Surgery?

by Leave a Comment

It is no surprise that the Covid-19 pandemic will change the way that cosmetic surgery procedures are delivered and how plastic surgeons amongst other medical professionals will be able to care for their patients and operate within socially distanced clinics.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently carried out a member survey and published their predictions for new industry trends ahead of clinic openings revealing what they believe to be the most sought-after procedures post-lockdown.

As imagined, phone call and video consultations have soared in popularity becoming the most common method of communication between surgeons and their patients. This is something we felt was important to offer to patients seeking procedures at The Private Clinic and will become the new first stage of consultations for the vast majority of our procedures for the foreseeable future.

What are the 2020 Top 5 Plastic Surgery Trend Predictions? *

Surgeons who are members of ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgeons) were able to give their predictions on what they believe to be the top 2020 procedure trends following what they have learned via virtual consultations and appointments with potential patients.

  1. Anti-Wrinkle Injections (65%)
  2. Breast Enlargement (44%)
  3. Dermal Fillers (37%)
  4. Liposuction (30%)
  5. Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty (24%)

*Data collected from American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

We were not surprised to see non-surgical treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers in the top 5. Here in the UK we have spent over 100 days in lockdown and with the results of treatments like these only being temporary these are expected to be treatments that are much in demand.

Breast Augmentation and Tummy tuck surgery were previously listed as top treatments in the BAAPS Audit Results 2020 so seeing these in the top 5 were not a surprise either. Liposuction however was a new addition which may be reflecting patients concerns about any lockdown weight gain and lack of time spent in the gym.

Although these results are based on the surgeons and patients’ views in America. It has been reassuring to see a continued interest in plastic surgery procedures and we imagine the results would not be too dissimilar if the survey were carried out in the UK.

We hope that we will be able to continue patient’s confidence in choosing our clinic and are happy to detail the measures that we have taken thus far to secure your safety when our clinics re-open.

Mommy makeovers are a popular procedure among women typically after pregnancy as they want to get their bodies back to how they looked before pregnancy. Mommy makeovers typically involve a combination of procedures such as liposuction, breast lift and tummy tuck. Now, there has been a rise in men who want to undergo different procedures to get away from their “dad bods”. This new male cosmetic trend is popularly known as “daddy do-over” for liposuction treatments the most popular treatment areas include chest, abdomen and flanks.

Nonetheless, liposuction is not the only cosmetic produce rising in popularity among men; according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons more than 1 million men have had cosmetic surgery in 2018, this is a 29% increase since 2000.

The most popular Cosmetic Surgery procedures for men include:

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) to correct the nasal bridge, adjust the tip of the nose or to refine the base of the nose.

At The Private Clinic, we offer different types of rhinoplasty procedure to suit the different patient needs.

  • Standard Rhinoplasty: this procedure focus on achieving a full nose correction (bridge, nose tip and alar base).
  • Septo-Rhinoplasty: This procedure consists of combining a standard rhinoplasty and the correction of a deviated septum.
  • Rhino-Tip: This procedure aims to correct the tip of the nose and nostrils.
  • Preservation Rhinoplasty: An innovative type of rhinoplasty less invasive than traditional rhinoplasty procedure that consists of preserving the structure of the nose providing natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is also a popular procedure among men to rejuvenate their appearance. Blepharoplasty is a relatively quick procedure that targets the upper, lower or both eyelid lids and is performed under general anaesthetic.  Lower eyelid surgery ideal for eye bag removal and can also reduce puffiness smoothing and tightening the skin around the under-eye area.

Male chest reduction is also one of the most desired procedures for men. Male chest reduction or Gynecomastia is a procedure to reduce excess fat on the male chest. There are different options available to remove the excess fat around this area, including VASER Liposuction, MicroLipo or Surgical Liposuction. Our specialised surgeons will be able to recommend the best procedure for you.

“My man boobs were always a problem and I felt embarrassed in the changing rooms after going to the gym. I had a fit body and good physique but with breasts!I had Vaser Lipo and after reduced bruising and swelling the results look impressive! I would recommend it to anyone!” Alex

Varicose veins, thread veins and facial veins are also a cause of concern for many men who seek treatment for aesthetic and health reasons. Martin, one of our varicose vein patients underwent VenaSeal treatment to treat his varicose veins at The Private Clinic and now he cannot be happier with his results.

“I couldn’t be happier with results and I would absolutely recommend the treatment to anyone who is suffering from the condition.  I was so impressed with Dr Rittoo and his team, they made me feel completely at ease at every stage of the procedure.” Martin.

Not only surgical procedures are becoming increasingly popular for men but also non-invasive treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox are seeing a rise in demand among male patients.

Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by our bodies able to restore the loss of volume in several areas of the face. Tear trough fillers, nose-to-mouth fillers, jawline filler and chin fillers are the most sought-after types of filler for men to smooth and gently rejuvenate and refresh the face.

Botox is a highly demanded treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is ideal to prevent the formation of new ones.

At The Private Clinic, we work with top consultant plastic surgeons, liposuction and body contouring surgeons and aesthetic doctors highly specialised in their fields.
