The latest figures from BAAPS (British Association for Plastic Surgeons) revealed a 14% drop in the number of surgical nose jobs in 2016 amid a 40% drop in the number of surgical procedures performed overall.
In their latest press release, consultant plastic surgeon and former BAAPS President Rajiv Grover commented on the trends:
“In a climate of global fragility, the public are less likely to spend on significant alterations and become more fiscally conservative, by and large opting for less costly non-surgical procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, rather than committing to more permanent changes.
“The background of negative news and economic uncertainty seems to have re-invigorated the famous British ‘stiff upper lip’ –achieved, however, through dermal fillers and wrinkle-relaxing injections, rather than surgery!”
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is an instance which illustrates this well. The nose job is now the 7th most popular form of plastic surgery in the UK overall and for women, but numbers are declining by 14% year on year. For men, the nose job is the top choice of plastic surgery procedures, but has seen a massive 35% drop in males choosing the procedure.
Yet while surgical procedures are falling, this is a procedure where non-surgical options are now available in leading clinics. The non-surgical procedure offers a series of compelling advantages too.
