Plastic surgeons get Botox too

Posted by: Laser Clinic MD In: Laser Clinic ()


I’ve always wondered if doctors are more or less apt to seek treatment for medical conditions. Well, when it comes to plastic surgery, the doctor is often the patient, a new study finds.

In a survey of 276 members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 62 percent said they had gone under the knife for at least one procedure. Most receive minimally invasive procedures such as laser hair removal chemical peels and Botox — no word of whether they throw Botox parties. A third had gone under a surgical procedure, with liposuction being the most common.

Women surgeons were more likely than men to have cosmetic surgery. The study about the survey — appearing in the December issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery — suggests they can be an asset to patients who are trying to decide which kind of reconstructive surgery to receive.

It would be interesting to know if laser clinics and medical spas see an up-tick in treatments like Thermage, Fraxel, laser treatments or filler injections between female and male plastic surgeons. I’d certainly guess that laser hair removal and photofacials are more common among female docs running skin clinics.
