Over the past year, the cosmetic industry certainly took a hit, with salons, hairdressers and spas being unable to open, or only running on a limited capacity. Despite this hit, cosmetic surgeons reported a dramatic rise in people interested in undergoing some form of treatment. Whilst it is not clear as to exactly why there was a boom in those seeking cosmetic treatments, it is suggested that some individuals enquired about procedures due to spending excessive time on video calls for either work or when spending virtual time with loved ones.
Spending a considerable amount of time in video calls, individuals began to notice certain aspects of themselves that they would not mind improving. Whether it was the look of their teeth, the tiredness around their eyes, receding hairlines or fine lines appearing on their face, many began to enquire about procedures, the costs and the likelihood that they will be successful.
Despite restrictions being eased, many are still going ahead or contemplating undergoing a procedure. Whilst many undergo treatments out of vain, certain procedures can have a positive impact on a person’s wellbeing, making them feel more confident and comfortable in themselves when they look the way they want to look.
The old saying is “when you feel good, you look good”, meaning that when you feel good in the way you look, this is then translated to how others see you. As such, if you are wanting to improve your confidence this summer and think that undergoing treatment could be the right route, here are what procedures are available to choose from.
Having The Perfect Smile
The first thing a stranger notice is your eyes, then your teeth and then your hair. The combination of these details helps them to create an assumption on both your success and also your general overall health. After having spent many hours on video call meetings, many have noticed that their teeth may not be as straight or as white as their family members or work colleagues.
Undergoing treatment to either have your teeth straighten or whitened, will help to give you a confidence boost. You may have been insecure about smiling or laughing in public due to your teeth, however, after having professional work done, you may feel more confident and comfortable within yourself.
Hair Transplants For A Head Of Hair
The stigma around hair loss and having hair transplants is slowly but surely fading. With an increasing number of public figures either embracing hair loss or openly discussing their experience undergoing hair transplant treatments, many individuals, in particular men, are beginning to enquire about potentially having treatment.
There are various things to consider when looking into a hair transplant procedure, which includes what types of treatments are available, as well as what occurs during these procedures. Fortunately, most clinics today will provide a guide about what to expect when investing in undergoing a hair transplant procedure.
Ear Surgery Is Fairly Common
Ear surgery, formally known as otoplasty, repositions a patient’s ear by re-sculpting the cartilage at the back of the ear, bringing them closer to the head. This is quite a common surgery amongst men, with male patients making up almost half of all UK ear pinning procedures that occur. With 1 in 20 Brits feeling as if their ears are too prominent, it is clear as to why that this non-invasive procedure is regularly done.
Although it might be major surgery, compared to other procedures, those who have undergone ear surgery have noted the positive impact it has had on their overall self-esteem. Aside from boosting their confidence, ear surgery also helps to improve a person’s overall facial appearance, as it adds balance and symmetry to their face.
Take Your Time, Do The Research
If you know exactly what cosmetic treatment you wish to pursue, take the time to research all the options available. Ensure that you find someone who is qualified, experienced and who is willing to answer any of your questions regarding the process. An additional factor that is worth considering is seeing what the reviews from previous patients say about the cosmetic surgeon. This will give you an idea about what to expect in terms of service and finished result.
During your research, check to see that they are registered in the General Medical Council, as well as the British Association of Plastic Reconstruction and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS). This is to see if the surgeon you were considering is a full member of the specialist register for plastic surgery. If not, you may want to continue your search.
Any one of these procedures can have an impact on your confidence, improving your self-esteem which you may have lost due to the events of the past year. It is important that before you begin your search, you know what cosmetic treatment you want to have and the desired outcome that you want these medical professionals to achieve.
