AAFPRS Announces Annual Survey Results: A Look at How COVID-19 Disrupted Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the world’s largest association of facial plastic surgeons, released Tuesday its 2020 member survey results. More so than any year before, 2020 disrupted the aesthetic industry in a big way. Over the past few years, use of non-invasive procedures to forestall the signs of aging have been steadily on the rise. The pandemic flipped the switch, creating a surge in surgical demand not seen in recent years. Despite the fact that many non-essential surgeries and aesthetic services were put on hold for months during the pandemic, AAFPRS members note that demand is now higher than ever.
