Why More People Are Getting Plastic Surgery

Why More People Are Getting Plastic Surgery

Back in the 80s and 90s the only people who were getting plastic surgery was wealthy individuals, celebrities and anyone who was unfortunate enough to have been in an accident which required reconstructive surgery. These days however, all that has changed and this is now a part of our society which is widely accepted, and there is a significant percentage of people who have had some kind of work done.

To find out why more and more people are having plastic surgery, we caught up with some of the amazing team at Absolute Cosmetic Surgery to see what factors have lead to its popularity.

• Expertise

Those celebrities and wealthy individuals acted like guinea pigs for the rest of us back in the 80s and 90s and owing to the mistakes that were made, the expertise around plastic surgery has taken a turn for the better. These days those who are carrying out these procedures have a far higher success rate and a far lower chance of something going wrong. This has resulted in people having more confidence in clinics and surgeons, as well as allowing people to have a natural look even after they have undergone surgery.

• Price

The price of plastic surgery is now far cheaper than it ever was before, and here’s why. The demand gradually grew and as this happened there were more and more clinics which offered surgical procedures. This higher supply resulted in even more demand and soon the prices began to tumble as this was no longer an exclusive type of treatment which was only available to the wealthiest of patients.

• Acceptance

As a society plastic surgery is completely accepted and someone taking some time out for a nose job or for breast augmentation is not viewed as odd or strange for doing so. There are very few people who judge others for having certain treatments and this has encouraged more people to do it because of how acceptable it is. This is much like tattoos, which of course were long thought to be exclusively for biker chicks and bad boys, now tattoos are accepted thanks to fashion and shifts in social attitudes.

• Accessibility

Back in the day people would have had to travel quite far in order to find a clinic where they could have a certain procedure done, unless they lived in Beverly Hills of course. Today however there are clinics in every major city and town which means that they are available and accessible to just about anyone who wants to have something done.

Finally there is the factor around financing, not only are these procedures cheaper than ever before, many clinics also offer patients the chance to repay the bill over a long period of time, which of course makes this more viable for many of their patients.
