Generation Z View

Cosmetic Surgery

Unfavorably, and a

Turnoff!

 

 

 

 

 

Hoewel de Verenigde Staten Generatie Z heeft wereldwijd het hoogste aantal plastisch chirurgen. Uit recente peilingen blijkt dat cosmetische chirurgie en de resultaten ervan minder aantrekkelijk zijn voor Generatie Z.

 

A poll, commissioned recently, surveyed 2,500 U.S. adults to examine generational perceptions of cosmetic surgery’s impact on appearance.

 

Generatie Z (aged 18-26) diverges from older generations in their views on cosmetic surgery’s effects, with nearly two-fifths (38 percent of the respondents) indicating that they believe cosmetic surgery makes people appear “less attractive.” This preference for natural appearance among Generation Z seems to be influenced by technology, access to information and new sentiments, compared to the previous generation’s acceptance, such as 35 percent of millennials (aged 27 to 42) with a notable decrease in this belief among Gen X (aged 43 to 58) at 26 percent, and those aged 59 and over, including Boomers and the Silent Generation, at 23 percent.

 

This concern is attributed to several factors, including the pervasive influence of social media, which imposes a constant pressure to maintain an attractive appearance. Unlike millennials and Gen Xers, Gen Z prefers more authentic and less curated social media interactions. Consequently, they opt for treatments that obviate the need for artificial filters.

 

Reflecting on these realities, some scientist claim  many individuals initially would never consider fillers or face-lifts, but this stance often changes when they feel the need for such procedures themselves. On the other hand, some scientist argue that Gen Z’s belief in proactive aging rather than anti-aging is justified.

 

While embracing proactive aging, younger generations might consider surgeries too drastic and potentially less attractive, preferring safer, less invasive procedures. Additionally, younger individuals might not yet see the need for more dramatic results.
