The Economy & Facial Aesthetic Surgery: Patient Preferences

Dr Park Ave: Your Best Choice for Affordable, Long-Lasting Results!

Two surveys conducted last year, one to patients and one to physicians, revealed that many patients are delaying facial plastic surgery (facelift, eyelid surgery, facial implants) by opting for less-costly nonsurgical options (botox, fillers, chemical peels) due to the recession.That may be no surprise; however, what physicians didn’t realize was that cost and immediate results were not the priority for their patients – long-lasting results were most important.

Full results of the two surveys were published in the September 2011 issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal, and “show that [surgeons] should be aware of our patients’ desires when it comes to nonsurgical cosmetic procedures,” said Editor in Chief, Foad Nahai in a press release.
