Cosmetic Surgery in Corona Times

Dr. Schuhmann reports from his practice on the wishes patients bring to him, particularly during the era of coronavirus and working from home. The pandemic has had a major impact on our daily lives, and many behaviours and perspectives have changed. Yet even in difficult times and situations, people are remarkably adaptable.

Many social contacts are restricted, holidays are not taking place, and shopping in town is no longer possible either. As a result, people are focusing more on themselves — they want to do something good for themselves. The face mask means that attention is clearly drawn to the eyes. Eyelid lifting is therefore currently a very popular procedure, followed by treatments that can easily be concealed beneath the mask:

• Eyelid lifting
• Lip augmentation
• Rhinoplasty
• Wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid or wrinkle treatment with Botox

Larger procedures that can heal well while working from home are also very much in demand. These include:

• Liposuction
• Facelift
• Breast augmentation with implants and breast augmentation with autologous fat
