The Tipping Point: Cultural Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery




Cultural Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery - Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Advice


Is there a tipping point where a request admitted by a physician creates a sort of sociological contagion? Significantly the move by one person who is the outliner or leading edge type "signals" an acceptance or condoning to the many "sideliners" who've merely thought and obsessed about a particular idea, but who lacked the impetus to proceed. The resulting cascade of commitments merely surfaces the underlying "market demand" supporting the trend in its infancy.

Overall market trends sub-divide along gender lines, and sometimes for obvious reasons. Breast augmentation is 100% female occupied category for cosmetic surgery. In buttock lift, 4% of procedures are carried out on men. In eyelid surgery women take out 85% of the procedures leaving 15% to the men. Facelift procedures, at 91% usage by women, are clearly of less aesthetic interest to men overall. Liposuction is also dominated by women, who order 89% of total procedures. The men come back to dominate 100% of hair transplant or male pattern baldness operations. However, the men cannot lift a leg when compared to the women's 99% domination of thigh lift procedures. In nose reshaping, men utilize about 24% of the procedures with women accounting for 76%. The category of tummy tuck is also overwhelmingly dominated by women, who account for 95% of procedures. In the top 13 categories of aesthetic or cosmetic surgery women consistently dominate, with ranges between 76% - 99%. Women control and define the market.
