I have recently seen an influx of people commenting on young people in the public eye. We are often in this industry met with videos of aesthetic professionals discussing celebrities and their faces. So what is the role of medical professionals in this age of celebrity aesthetics?
Here's a breakdown of the issue:
Why it can be click bait:
Focus on gossip: Discussions centered on speculation about procedures and negativity towards celebrities can be seen as entertainment rather than education.
Lack of context: Without a patient examination and medical history, comments lack the nuance needed for responsible advice.
Why it can be valuable:
Transparency: Highlighting what celebrities might not disclose (risks, recovery) educates viewers about procedures.
Discussion starter: Can spark conversations about realistic expectations and potential downsides of cosmetic procedures.
Maintaining professionalism:
Focus on procedures: Discuss the types of procedures, their effects, and potential risks in a general way.
Avoid negativity: Don't target celebrities or speculate about their personal choices.
Promote ethical practices: Highlight the importance of consultations, setting realistic expectations, and prioritizing patient safety.
The "overfilling" culture:
Self-reflection: The concern about not refusing procedures is valid. Open discussions within the medical community about responsible practice are important.
Shifting focus: Instead of criticizing results, emphasize the importance of thorough consultations and understanding patient motivations.
So, is it wrong to use celebrities?
Not necessarily. The key is to use them as a springboard for broader discussions about cosmetic procedures, risks, and ethical practices.
In conclusion:
Medical professionals can leverage their knowledge to create valuable content that educates the public and promotes responsible practice within the field, without resorting to negativity or speculation about celebrities.
