When something new opens up in Toronto, such as a new location of a popular fast-food joint, people rush to line up to be the first to get a taste. Similarly, many Toronto residents are eager to invest in eyelid surgery to enhance their eyes. Although this is not a newly invented surgery, it has gained more popularity during the pandemic for the right reasons.
The Toronto eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a quick eyelift procedure that reduces droopy eyelids and excess skin around the eyes for a more youthful look. In some cases, it’s a medical requirement; for others, it’s a cosmetic procedure. Here are some reasons why blepharoplasty became the talk of the town during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Effect of the ‘Zoom Boom’
Since many people around the globe have embraced video calls on Zoom as the primary source of communication for work and social life, people are becoming more conscious about their face and neck appearance. Due to a rise in inquiries about cosmetic work, this effect is called the ‘Zoom boom.’
When people see their face on Zoom every day, it brings out insecurities and points out medical issues that they might not have noticed in the past. Sometimes, baggy eyelids and saggy skin can lead to compromised vision, making surgery a necessity. In addition, blepharoplasty and other cosmetic treatments such as lip fillers and Botox can help people feel more confident in their skin. A feeling of fulfillment can be helpful to raise the spirits of many people affected by the pandemic.
Time to Recover While Staying Home
As many cosmetic procedures such as eyelift have downtime, the best time to undergo these treatments is when people cannot go out. Since people have to stay home anyway, many have decided to utilize their time by undergoing treatment to recover appropriately without missing work or social events.
More Disposable Income During Pandemic
An article in Toronto Sun mentioned that people are finding funds even in this economic downturn. Canadians who haven’t lost their jobs have access to disposable income that they have decided to allocate to cosmetic procedures.
Since it was challenging to partake in social activities such as going out to eat and travelling, people saved money there and invested in improving their physical appearance.
Ability to Combine with Other Treatments
Some eyelid surgeries can be combined with other non-invasive procedures to maximize results. If you aim to achieve a youthful appearance, reducing lines around your eyes might not be sufficient. So, you can use laser skin resurfacing or derma fillers as other treatments to make yourself look younger. A blepharoplasty is popular due to the ability to book other treatments along with the surgery simultaneously.
Eyelid surgery has gained popularity in many regions globally. Toronto has embraced this procedure as an efficient way to spend disposable income and utilize time at home to achieve a youthful appearance. The Zoom effect has helped many people regain confidence and feel better about themselves as they face a screen all day.
