Cosmetic surgery for teens and tweens

December 19, 2006

A booming industry, drawing physicians to this “unneeded specialty”, according to this opinion:

As the baby boomers age into elderhood in the next few years, it won’t be cosmetic surgeons they need and we can’t afford to lose more doctors to this unneeded specialty. But the market is there; it is those who cannot bear the thought of growing old and now it is being expanded to include children.

But Dartmouth studies appear to show that healthcare outcomes and costs are negatively correlated with physician density. Doesn’t it make sense to shunt more doctors into cosmetics? Win-Win.
