There's one business that hasn't been hurting
due to the pandemic, plastic surgery.
The popularity of Zoom,
is leading to a surprising consequence.
A big hike in cosmetic surgery.
There's the Zoom phenomenon, so people spend all day
looking at their video feed, usually from the worst
possible angle and with terrible lighting
and that brings a lot of patients in saying,
"I gotta do something"
Just have a seat.
18 year old Olivia Silverstein
broke her nose playing soccer, is here for a nose job
before she heads off to the University of Florida.
Another teen going under the knife,
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice's
daughter Gia just posted, yes I got a nose job.
Yes I'm swollen, I'm an adult now
this has been an insecurity of mine for a while,
and I've never been happier.
Olivia feels the same way.
She says, she's ready to start college
and deal with all the issues of the pandemic with confidence
thanks to her new nose.
I'm so happy with how my nose looks.
And the doctor says this may be
the perfect time to have a touch up on the down low.
People aren't socializing as much
and they're walking around wearing masks so it's
actually an ideal time to recover from surgery.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons,
Botox injections were the most commonly sought treatment
during this stay-at-home order,
followed by breast augmentations.
