Corona Boom in Cosmetic Surgery

WAZ Hattingen, 18 November 2020

Dr. Karl Schuhmann from the Evangelisches Krankenhaus has recorded significantly more enquiries for aesthetic procedures during the Corona pandemic – above all for eyelid surgery and lip correction.

Corona changes the way we look in the mirror

With mandatory masks and working from home, the focus has shifted more strongly to the upper third of the face. Video conferences and selfies make perceived imperfections more visible. Many patients are therefore using this time to fulfil long-held treatment wishes.

"We are observing that eyelid surgery, lip corrections and minimally invasive treatments are in high demand. The mask draws attention to the eye and forehead area – many people want to look fresher and more alert here."

Popular Treatments

• Upper and lower eyelid surgery: Removes excess skin and makes the eyes appear more alert.
• Lip correction: Hyaluronic acid provides more volume and defined contours.
• Skin boosters & peels: improve the skin's appearance without any downtime.

Despite the high demand, Dr. Karl Schuhmann continues to place great importance on thorough consultation: he only recommends a procedure when expectations, skin condition and medical prerequisites are all aligned.
