Cosmetic Surgery and the Sagging Economy
10.19.08 (11:27 pm) [edit]
In Los Angeles and Beverly Hills of all places, where the cosmetic surgery business has always lead the industry, many local plastic surgeons are feeling the pinch. Of course, it can be expected, as our sagging economy creates financial disarray for many citizens, many would-be Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery patients are opting for less invasive, less expensive procedures, or none at all. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that in their latest surveys, more than half the doctors have noted that business is down anywhere from 20-40%.
Average income patients are saying that they cannot justify spending a few thousand dollars on a procedure when at the same time they are struggling to save on gas, groceries, car and mortgage payments, and so on. Although your average plastic surgery center in Beverly Hills still sees a number of patients. A common shortcut to Beverly Hills facelift surgery, which can cost around $6,000, is Botox injections and injectable fillers. Botox can be a quick, less expensive procedure that gives a more youthful appearance, but with much less dramatic results that a Beverly Hills facelift is known for.
Some hard working patients, though feeling the pinch of the economy, say they also feel as though cosmetic surgery gives them an advantage in their career. A sort of “double-edged sword,” so to speak, cosmetic surgery helps those in competitive markets, compete with their younger peers. So while those in the real estate business, for example, are struggling to hold their jobs while the market dwindles, they are also struggling to pay for Beverly Hills eyelid surgery, in order stay in the running. Of course there are other options to cosmetic surgery, but none give the same results. Cosmetic surgeons in the area have turned to marketing, and sometimes discounts, in order to bring in patients. While traditional plastic surgery procedures have gone down, non-invasive cosmetic procedures have actually increased.
