Some plastic surgeons continue to flourish in this economy
I’m not sure what to make of this article. I saw it recently and have to question if it’s one of those situations where , if you say it enough you might make it come true. This is contrary to the stream of articles we’ve watched in this blog in the past few months. When most plastic surgeons are taking it in the chops in this economy, this practice is busier than ever. They do note the shift that the entire industry is seeing towards non-surgical procedures cosmetic procedures. Maybe we can get them to shed some light on their unusual success in these difficult times

As tightly as people are holding onto their cash and cutting back on unnecessary expenses these days, many are willing to upgrade their appearance, no matter the price.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Jose Rios and cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Matthew Kelleher say their practices continue to boom despite the economy.
A Montgomery woman receives a lip enhancement treatment using a new injectable material that is supposed to last longer. Despite a tough economy, the demand for cosmetic procedures continues, at least in two area offices.
“Plastic surgery is as popular as ever,” Rios said. “We are seeing a slight shift to nonsurgical procedures, though, which don’t have as large up-front costs. There are also more options to finance our procedures if a patient prefers credit.”
During stressful times, people feel it’s especially nice to feel good about themselves physically, said Rios, who is part of Rios and Lapinski Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Associates in Joliet and Frankfort.
“We’re just about as busy as we ever were,” said Kelleher, a cosmetic dermatologist at Advanced Cosmetic Laser and Surgery Center and Dermatology in Joliet. “I think this is true because the procedures we do are smaller, more affordable and less invasive. Our patients are able to bounce back quickly and are back to work soon. Our procedures are simple, in-out procedures done in the office.”
