ObjectivesTo evaluate the effect of social media, TV shows, plastic surgeons' self-advertisement, and before-and-after cosmetic surgery photos of patients who actually visited the clinic to seek a consultation or intervention. MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study; institutional review board approval was granted in 2018. This study was conducted among patients attending cosmetic clinics at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire is composed of socio-demographic data and about the reason for the trending of plastic surgeries.ResultsThree hundred and ninety-nine patients participated in the study. Of all participants, 60.4% agreed on the impact of the surgeon’s self-advertisement in the trending of plastic surgeries; 53.4% said yes to cosmetic television programs having an effect on the trend of plastic surgeries; 65.7% of the participants answered yes to before-and-after pictures of social media having an effect on the trend of cosmetic procedures; and 54.1% of the participants answered yes to wanting to look better in selfies as a reason for the rise of cosmetic surgery.ConclusionThe results of this study have shown that the majority of patients visiting plastic surgery clinics were positively affected, but not exclusively, by media coverage of cosmetic surgery results.
Background: Nowadays, the demand of plastic surgery has dramatically increased According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), nearly 17 million cosmetic producers were performed in 2016 and 58% has increased cosmetic surgery from 2012-2016 for both men and women. Media influences, medical advancements and patients' characteristics have a role in the recent upsurge of cosmetic surgery. Objectives:a) To find reasons for encouraging the patient to go for facial plastic surgery. b) To asses Factors that motivate people towards plastic surgery. c) To study the association between body dysmorphic disorder in people attending a facial plastic clinic and the desire to do an intervention.
Objective: Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate how selfies (self-photographs) are related to cosmetic surgery.Methods: This is a prospective, observational study performed using a self-administered survey. An online questionnaire was distributed through social media to a random sample of 653 individuals from Saudi Arabia aged 18 to 65 years (mean 29.4±10.9 years). 25.1% of respondents were male (164 men), 74.9% were female (489 women).Results: The majority of respondents were satisfied by their appearance in the selfie. 5.8% of respondents stated they had had a cosmetic procedure as a result of self-photography. The procedures involved were: lip fillers, botox, rhinoplasty, cheek fillers, chin implant, scar revision and face-lift. A further 37.8% of respondents expressed a wish to undergo a cosmetic procedure (rhinoplasty, lip fillers, chin implant, scar revision, cheek fillers, botox or facelift) due to selfies. 134 respondents expressed dissatisfaction with their appearance in selfies, 47 of whom (35.1%) expressed an interest in a cosmetic procedure. 46% of those who believed selfies reveal their deformities also wished to have a corrective procedure. Concerning their preferred type of procedure, women chose rhinoplasty, lip fillers, cheek fillers, anti-aging botox, face-lifts and chin implants more often than men. Conclusion:Improvements to body-image through cosmetic surgery outcomes should improve body image and thereby promote self-esteem and socialization. The selfie may underlie the increase in demand for cosmetic procedures and the number of such procedures subsequently undertaken.
