Trends in Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular and accessible to a wider demographic, driven by advancements in technology and a shift in societal attitudes. Procedures are now less invasive and cheaper, leading to a boom in the industry, which is expected to nearly double in size within the next five years. The rise of social media influences how individuals perceive beauty, with many young people seeking out procedures to resemble the idealized images they encounter online. Notably, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reported an increase in cosmetic procedures, with numbers jumping from 25 million in 2019 to around 35 million in 2023.
