Objectives: The effect of COVID19 demands a major change in aesthetic surgeons' professional practice like limiting consultations, changing flow patterns, and having new safety protocols.
COVID19 crises have enabled aesthetic surgeons to re-evaluate their lives, putting more emphasis on things that matter most like health and family.
The role of teleconsultation needs to be reprised and legalised in the post-COVID era and webinars and virtual conferences will find more takers in the future.
Introduction: There has been an enormous change that the COVID19 pandemic has brought into the aesthetic surgeons' practice including patient management, planning and consultation. This presentation throws some light on the impact of COVID19 to our aesthetic surgery practice in Australia, discussing the major issues of the pandemic itself, the lifestyle changes experienced by surgeons as a consequence and the role it has played in running an aesthetic practice now.
Conclusion: The aesthetic surgeon continues to finely balance his profession, personal lifestyle, learning, and recreation. The lockdown clamped our practices which lead to a financial drought (with a 90% drop in income). Despite such unprecedented pressures, we were able to maintain our productivity by engaging in webinars, reading, and research.
The post-COVID19 times demand implementation of more safety protocols along with changes in set-up, regulating patient traffic, engaging in distant learning through virtual conferences, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle acquired during the lockdown.
