and a vibrant nightlife with great restaurants, Miami is poised to become a world class city. Along with this metamorphosis, Miami is seen as a young and energetic city, attracting younger people and more and more international businesses. All this urban growth is accompanied by a fresh and healthy lifestyle. Miami is seen as a city with youth and vibrancy. Combine this with state of the art medicine, excellent physicians and modern technologies, and one has the makings for one of the cosmetic surgery capitals of the world.
According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (aafprs.org) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons the numbers of plastic surgical procedures continues to increase yearly in the United States. Industry specialists forecast that this current trend will continue for years as American (Baby Boomers) turn 50 and above. Along with the media attention received from makeover shows and the general public acceptance of these procedures, people continue to seek out this type of work.
Miami is especially important as a strategic location with proximity to Latin America and Europe. The diverse local flavor and multilingual culture makes it particularly attractive to visitors who prefer to have procedures performed outside of their own countries and recover in anonymity. Additionally, the fact that Miami offers tourist attractions and wonderful beaches enhances the appeal for patients who wish to stay with their families while they recuperate.
