Dr. Jacob Haiavy for the LA Times: “Cosmetic Surgery Spending Back on Upswing”

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 by copywriter

Dr. Jacob Haiavy was recently quoted in an LA Times piece about the business of cosmetic l_logo_normal surgery making “a comeback” in this uncertain economy. When discussing patient incentives he said the following:

We used to give discounts on multiple procedures anyway, but we took it to the next level at the beginning of the year. It’s tough because 90% of what we do is elective. People have been more scrutinizing and resistant to spending money.

But as the article suggests, a strong surge in business may be nearing as cosmetic practices start offering special prices, and baby boomers consider the possibility of looking better to enhance their prospects.
