Yahoo News recently published the article “Pre-wedding cosmetic treatments are reportedly on the rise”, which brings to light new data released by RealSelf, for which Dr. Devgan is Chief Medical Officer. According to RealSelf, there is a 30% spike in wedding-related reviews from patients in 2019, with specific regard to nonsurgical procedures taking up at least 46% of this spike.
The data released by RealSelf shows that in 2019 breast augmentations and rhinoplasties tie for the most common pre-wedding treatments. Noninvasive fat dissolvers, botox, and fillers are among the most popular nonsurgical pre-wedding treatments. Dr. Devgan has previously noted that increases in cosmetic procedures like these - both surgical and non - can be contributed to an advance in technology, allowing limited commitment, lower costs, and easier recovery.
