Millennials are a notoriously difficult demographic to please. So much so that those who make up the generation recently made headlines when they turned against the popular TV show Friends.
THIS IS WHY IT’S ALL THE MORE IMPRESSIVE TO HEAR THAT MILLENNIALS ARE HAPPY TO GIVE COSMETIC SURGERY PROCEDURES A THUMBS UP IN A CLIMATE WHERE THEY’RE OFTEN QUICK TO SHOOT THINGS DOWN.
According to a new survey carried out by Zalea, 40% of millennials have either had a cosmetic procedure or would consider having it in the next 12 months. Out of these, 75% admitted that they would be happy to go under the knife and have plastic surgery it if meant they would be happier with an aspect of their appearance.
Louis Scafuri, the co-founder of Zalea, said that these findings generally set the demographic apart from other generations who have come before them. He explained: “By and large, this younger millennial generation appears to express a stronger acceptance and willingness to consider cosmetic procedures, than the older generations.” He added: “This survey indicates that these kinds of procedures are becoming considerably more socially acceptable.”
Millennials – which is the term typically given to those people who were born between 1980 and 2000 – also featured heavily in a report released by the Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics in 2017. This research looked into the most popular plastic surgery choices chosen by millennials before ultimately compiling a top five list.
Unsurprisingly, boob jobs were named the number one procedure. This is after more than 700,000 millennials underwent a breast augmentation across the globe in 2016. Liposuction came in second, whereas a nose job placed third in the results. A tummy tuck came in fourth – but this wasn’t for lack of popularity. In fact, over 35,000 millennials shaped up with the help of a tummy tuck in America in 2016.
