Abstract
As reported by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, increasing numbers of young adults undergo cosmetic procedures. 1
In the Netherlands, young adults also constitute a growing proportion of injectable patients. 2
Nevertheless, little research has examined this increased popularity of cosmetic procedures among young adults. Thereto, we developed an online survey which explored young adults’ intention to undergo cosmetic procedures and the perceived ‘normality’ of these procedures. Through a certified panel company, a total of 470 valid surveys with Dutch young adults aged 18–25 (Mage = 21.00, SDage = 2.26; 56% female) were collected.
