“…The evolution in communication over the last 18 months has been transformational leading to adapting to the use of video conferencing platforms in almost all fields, perhaps of most note, education and medicine [1][2][3]. Indeed, this increase in remote video interaction has also led to an upturn in the number of requests for teleconsultations with plastic surgeons in private practice (70% in the UK and 64% in the USA) [4][5][6][7][8]. There has been speculation surrounding the possible correlation between this increase in seeking cosmetic surgery being linked to the concept of ''lockdown face'' and whether constant exposure to one's image in video conferencing has led to changes in the way we perceive our own image, perhaps even distorting it [7,9].…”

In recent times the number of requests for teleconsultations with plastic surgeons in private practice (70% in the UK and 64% in the USA) has increased. The correlation between this increase and the concept of “Zoom Boom” changing how we perceive our image is under speculation. However, this could also be linked to the psychological impact of the pandemic on patients’ moods. This study investigated the correlation between the pandemic era and seeking cosmetic surgery while focusing on the psychological impact of the pandemic on body-image perception. An anonymous web-based poll was distributed through social networks in Italy and the UK to patients seeking cosmetic surgery. The questions gathered responses on: 1. patient demographics; 2. cosmetic procedures requested; 3. motivations; 4. delays to cosmetic surgery caused by the pandemic; 5. pandemic effects on mood; 6. influence of video conferencing on body-image perception. A total of 159 respondents completed the online poll. Patients were more inclined to undergo cosmetic surgery during the pandemic citing the wish to improve their “lockdown face” (61%) and also the benefits of home recovery during smart working (36%). Eighty-one percent of respondents stated that video conferencing had impacted on their body-image perception, 95% indicated lower mood due to backlogs and surgery delays, while 72% of participants noted declined body-image perception during the pandemic. Data suggest that although video conferencing appears to play a key role in rising requests for cosmetic surgery consultations, a patient’s negative self-perception is also likely linked to the psychological impact of the pandemic on mood levels.

Touch-ups, Rejuvenation, Re-dos and Revisions: Remote Communication and Cosmetic Surgery on the Rise

The way in which communication takes place has undergone significant change over the last year leading to alterations regarding the way we perceive our own personal image. Indeed, the increase in remote video interaction seems to have led to an increase in the number of requests for teleconsultations with plastic surgeons in private practice (70% in the UK and 64% in the USA), the so-called Zoom Boom. The reasons connected to this increase are still under investigation, but it is likely that patients’ greater exposure to seeing their own image in online video communication for prolonged periods has highlighted what patients perceive as flaws and/or their self-image does not correspond to the same image that they see in the mirror. However, the motivations for seeking cosmetic surgery cannot be solely attributed to seeing ourselves online more frequently; the psychological impact of the pandemic (lower moods, isolation and greater concerns) may also be to blame. Therefore, the reasons patients hope to touch-up, rejuvenate, re-do or revise their “lockdown faces” need careful attention with a view to understand the extent of which the online distortion of one’s own body image may be the underlying cause.
