No, we aren’t joking. Hollywood is truly experiencing a boom in the rate of plastic surgeries as the writers’ strike is ongoing. Since the writers’ strike started in May, surgeons are receiving more and more celebrity cases.
The duration of the strike is uncertain, and as of yesterday, there were no solid updates regarding its end. Consequently, actors are deciding to undergo plastic surgery during their break.
Dr. Catherine Chang, a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, is among the long list of surgeons getting appointments from A-list actors as their patients.
On average, recovering from a surgery like a facelift takes a couple of weeks. However, when it comes to recovering discreetly for the camera, it takes around six weeks or so. Thus, actors are utilizing their break to recover from the surgery.
Statistically, there has been a reported 30% surge in appointment requests, and the rate has remained stable.
Beauty magazines like Allure have been reporting on the increased rate. These actions will undoubtedly impact the minds of viewers and readers and may even make a statement regarding the perception of perfection in beauty standards.
