Picture this: You’re on a Zoom call. You have your ring light on, you’re adjusting the angle of your screen, when, suddenly, you see THEM. 

WRINKLES. BAGS. Your under-eye area looks like a roadmap!

What are you going to do??

The “Zoom Boom”

If you’re only just noticing the bags and wrinkles under and around your eyes, you aren’t alone. Physicians have noticed a large uptick in requests for Botox and other cosmetic procedures recently.

Zoom and cosmetic procedures go hand-in-hand thanks to what some have coined the “Zoom Boom.”

It’s Not Just Zoom Making Us Notice Our Eyes!

It’s not just Zoom that has patients calling their doctors and requesting Botox and other cosmetic procedures. Mask wearing now puts our eyes at the forefront, which means we are more aware of them.

Additionally, working from home now means people can recover privately, and use makeup to cover up any bruising.

Cosmetic Procedures = Self Care

But wait! It’s not just a sudden awareness linking Zoom and cosmetic procedures. Many people view it as a form of self-care and, as they aren’t spending their money on outings, they are instead spending it on cosmetic procedures. 

It’s Not Just Botox, Either!

While Botox and other fillers have been at the forefront of requests, physicians have also had more requests for laser resurfacing. Meanwhile, some spas are offering treatments that focus solely on the area seen above masks as well as eye-lash extensions and eyebrow treatments.

It’s a Whole New World

With many companies now allowing their employees to work from home indefinitely, we can expect the connection between Zoom and cosmetic procedures to continue. Who knows what new treatments will be developed to keep us looking young and fresh for our virtual meetings in the future?

You’re met with the divorce lawyers. The paperwork has been filed. You’re ready to get back out there and meet people, but you want to look your best.

What do you need to do? Keep reading to learn more about popular cosmetic procedures for post-divorce.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Once the divorce lawyers have done their job, the divorce is finalized, many people start thinking about other changes, too.

They’re motivated to get back out into the dating scene and what to look their best. So, what are the most popular cosmetic procedures for post-divorce, you ask? We’ve got you!

Popular Cosmetic Procedures for Post-Divorce: Non-Surgical

For non-surgical treatments, Botox and injectable fillers are popular choices. Both soften lines and add youthful fullness to faces for both men and women alike. When it comes to surgical treatments, there is a difference between the procedures men and women get.

Wait, Men Get Plastic Surgery?

Yep, you read that right. When it comes to popular cosmetic procedures for post-divorce, men seek out rhinoplasty, liposuction, and eyelid surgery.

After all, men want to be seen as attractive to potential future partners as well, and these procedures often give them the confidence boost they need to do so!

Mommy Makeovers

For women, “mommy makeover” are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for post-divorce. These generally consist of a combination of procedures that include tummy tucks, breast augmentation or lift, and sometimes rhinoplasty.

Older women will also sometimes seek out face lifts to regain some of their youthfulness.

Soul Searching

But wait! Much like you consult with a divorce lawyer, you need to consult with a plastic surgeon to find the best options to you. It is also best to consider why you’re looking to “freshen up.”

Ask yourself if you’re doing the work for you or to get your ex back; are you using the procedure as a distraction rather than focus on the healing you need to; make sure you research the doctors you want to use. If, after your soul searching, you find that you still want the procedure, go ahead and book that consult, then reveal your glamorous new self to the world!
