“…This may suggest increasing conscientiousness with which the relevant information was being sought; and perhaps also hints at increased retention of such information. While Crockett (Crockett et al, 2007) and Heidekrueger (Heidekrueger et al, 2019) congruently report on the enormous significance of reality TV or Tabloid press as an information source for plastic surgery information, the observed development here leads to the presumption that the demand for scientifically and professionally validated information is increasing and consumed more consciously.…”

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted global life and transitioned economies and societal perceptions of life as we knew it. Professional and social life mostly ground to a nadir during the first lockdown in Europe in March. As a consequence, measures aimed at preventing the spread of the virus were established in medical facilities also and elective plastic surgery procedures were temporarily suspended in our clinic and others. A majority of the population, including those potentially contemplating plastic surgery procedures, spent most of their time at home with ample time available to research information about surgical procedures and other topics online. This investigation analyzes the relevance of plastic surgery during the pandemic on the basis of online search behavior patterns. Online traffic data from the online platform http://www.mooci.org were extracted using Google Analytics over a period of 6 months. The parameters analyzed were: pageviews, session duration, and bounce rate. Additionally, differentiation by areas of interest has been obtained. The data were compared and analyzed before and after the beginning of the first hard lockdown in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. There were no significant differences in regard to pageviews and session duration when comparing time points before and after the beginning of the hard lockdown. The bounce rate exhibited a significant decrease after the beginning of the lockdown, implying a more conscious search for information and greater absorption and retention. There was no difference that could conclusively be attributed to the pandemic in terms of specific areas of interest researched. Society’s demand for information about plastic-surgical procedures continues to be steadily prevalent—despite, or even in particular, during a global pandemic. Providing reliable and readily available information about plastic surgery procedures is an important component of a functioning doctor–patient relationship and informed consent. This information may reflect society’s increased interest in plastic surgery during the pandemic, or be simply reflective of more spare time at hand to allow for such research. Further studies should investigate the relevance of elective procedures over the entire course of the pandemic.

Every consultation with a patient at an aesthetic surgery clinic begins with the practitioner's need to understand the patient's reasons for wanting a change in their appearance. In our current society, physical attractiveness is viewed as a sign of having a fulfilled personality, successful career, happy marriage, and a comfortable life. Because of this, the option to undergo cosmetic surgery is becoming an increasingly important element of modern everyday life. We conducted a study to examine the beauty industry in modern Kazakh society. The article reviews and presents the results of an online survey of 515 Almaty people regarding their attitudes about cosmetic surgery. Our survey was formatted as a semiformalized questionnaire that included open and closed questions. Because the survey used a snowball approach (i.e., a sampling technique where existing study participants recruit additional participants from among their acquaintances), the sociodemographic portrait of the target audience was formed randomly. We also conducted interviews with four experts in cosmetic surgery in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results obtained from this research make it possible to broaden the scientific understanding of specific features of the beauty industry and the interaction of potential consumers with experts in this sphere. Our study further illustrates human behavior in a sociocultural environment that allows researchers to analyze the various facets that influence an individual's self-perception, behavior, and decision-making in everyday life.

“…Although several studies have assessed the general public's knowledge and perception of plastic surgery, no such study has been performed across the entire United States. 5,[12][13][14][15][18][19][20][21][22][23]27 Thus, the goal of this study aimed to fill this gap and assess the scope of plastic surgery as perceived by the general public. The results demonstrate that similar to other countries, the United States has a poor understanding of the scope of plastic surgery.…”

“…Although a few limited studies have been published on perception of plastic surgery in Brazil, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Australia, and New York City, no such data analyzing the perception of plastic surgery across the United States has been published to date. [18][19][20][21][22][23] The objective of this study was to assess the scope of plastic surgery as seen through the eyes of the average American to identify gaps in public knowledge, which need to be addressed to better represent the field as a whole.…”

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Global Open

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Plastic surgery dates back to 800 BC, where forehead flaps were used to reconstruct noses in India. Today, it is one of the most romanticized fields in medicine. Due to the influence of social media, there has never been a larger spotlight. Ironically, this spotlight brings a narrowed perception of the scope of plastic surgery. This study aimed to assess the scope through the eyes of the average American to identify gaps in knowledge to better represent the field. Methods: A series of questions were developed under survey methodologists and administered by Qualtrics. Responses were gathered, and data were analyzed to assess the public’s knowledge of plastic surgery’s scope. Results: Two thousand five hundred responses were obtained, balanced across demographics similar to that of the United States. The US population has a poor understanding of the scope of plastic surgery and how to obtain board certification. Conclusions: This survey demonstrates a gap in awareness of plastic surgery as a field and the scope outside aesthetic procedures dramatized by the media. There remains no clear understanding of the qualifications of plastic surgeons or the provider makeup of the field of cosmetic surgery. Subspecialties proved to be overlooked, and knowledge of board certification was sparse. Further effort is needed to educate both the public and patients of the scope of plastic surgery, so that they might seek and gain access to appropriate treatment in the most efficient manner to optimize outcomes regarding the form and function of the body.
