Good cosmetic surgeons nurture their patients’ mental health – without picking up a scalpel

Dr Bilge Gregory

The global cosmetic surgery market has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years.

In 2021, it was valued at US$67 billion ($105 billion), and projections suggest it will reach a staggering US$201 billion ($315 billion) by 2031.

We can largely attribute this exponential growth to society’s increasing desire for enhanced aesthetic value and the evolving beauty standards of our time.

As societal expectations of beauty continue to advance rapidly, people seek cosmetic surgical procedures to keep up with these trends.
