What Cosmetic Procedures are In-Demand with Millennials?
“How do we reach millennials?” This is a common question for businesses around the world who seek a way to get their message in front of younger potential customers or patients. However, as I have seen firsthand in recent years, plastic surgeons need not worry about how to find a way to reach younger prospective patients; they have no problem finding us on their own. The popularity of cosmetic procedures among younger people is as high as it’s ever been. To help shed light on this topic, I wanted to share some findings that I found especially helpful from the recent annual statistics collected by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) on common procedures for younger patients.
To help narrow it down, I wanted to specifically focus on patients between the ages of 18-34. Breast augmentation was by far the most commonly performed plastic surgery among patients in this age range with over 104,000 procedures performed last year. That’s nearly twice as many as the second most in-demand procedure, liposuction. One thing I found fascinating is the procedures that are far more common among this age group than any other. For instance, over 45% of all male breast reduction procedures were performed on guys between 18-34. And although facelifts and eyelid surgery are basically nonexistent among these patients, other facial procedures including rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and ear surgery continue to skyrocket with millennials.
In the video below, I go into detail on the some of the more common cosmetic procedures that I perform on younger patients:
I am happy to see so many younger people embracing plastic surgery and the incredible, life-changing benefits that it can provide. I am especially careful during pre-surgery consultations with younger patients to make sure they fully understand all of their options so that they can make the most informed decision possible regarding their plastic surgery procedure.
