Can Plastic Surgery Clinical Trials Help Your Level of Happiness?

clinical trials

Quality of life is everything, and for some people, plastic surgery may just be the boost they need. But why would anyone participate in plastic surgery clinical trials, and can these procedures add to a person’s overall happiness? Not only can plastic surgery improve a person’s appearance, but these procedures can actually improve well-being as well. However, it all depends on the situation, and it’s never a good idea to undergo any type of procedure just for the sake of increasing happiness levels.

What are Plastic Surgery Clinical Trials?

As opposed to a service, pre-clinical research studies, which plastic surgery clinical trials are a part of, are trials where physicians study and apply cutting-edge techniques. Due to the research nature of the procedures, patients must, in turn, qualify as a participant. A qualifying patient may receive the procedure at little-to-no-cost, depending on the situatijon. On the other hand, if a patient were to try to pay for a service out of pocket, it could cost thousands of dollars.

Plastic Surgery on the Rise

Plastic surgery has been on an upward trend in recent years, helping more and more people to look and feel how they desire. In early 2018, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the world’s oldest and largest speciality organization for plastic surgeons, published a study stating that 17.5 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2017. Citing a 2 percent increase from 2016, the rise in popularity has continued since 2014, when 15.6 million procedures were performed – a 12 percent increase in 4 years!

A Happiness Boost?

A long-term scientific study published in 2013 in the Clinical Psychological Science journal found that patients who underwent cosmetic surgery for aesthetic reasons reported improved health and self-esteem compared to patients who elected not to undergo surgery. By qualifying as a participant in the trials of cutting-edge research, a person’s access to improved quality of life could be within reach.
