Plastic Surgery Apps

Boost Your Beauty Shows How You'd Look with a Nose Job

— July 7, 2011 — Tech
Unfortunately, few people can say with complete honesty that there isn't a single thing they would change about their appearance, and perhaps the Boost Your Beauty app may put your curiosity to rest.

Pixineers Inc. designed this iPhone app with Allure Medical Spa, which allows smartphone owners to upload their own photos and dabble in the virtual alteration of their natural facial features. As with many, this application serves two purposes, for one, it acts as a form of free advertising for this cosmetic surgery clinic, offering information about the institute as well as educating users on the signs of aging. Secondly, the reason that the public might be drawn to the Boost Your Beauty app is so that they can experiment with their own radical transformations without the permanency of going under the knife for breast implants or a tummy tuck.
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Plastic Surgery - The rise of plastic surgery apps offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to experiment with customizable beauty features that reduce the need for invasive, permanent procedures.
2. Augmented Reality Beauty - Augmented reality features in plastic surgery apps create a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies that aim to provide a personalized and interactive beauty experience without the use of complex surgery.
3. Social-media Based Beauty - Developing plastic surgery apps with social media integration opens up a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create a community-based platform for discussions, reviews, and recommendations for better cosmetic surgery experience.
Industry Implications
1. Cosmetic Surgery - The rise of plastic surgery apps in the beauty industry offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to create new service lines that bridge the gap between virtual and in-person consultations and offer an array of customizable beauty features.
2. Healthcare - Developing innovative virtual plastic surgery apps in the healthcare industry can offer a disruptive innovation opportunity to reduce medical errors, enhance patient experience, and reduce the cost of care by reducing the frequency of follow-up consultations.
3. Technology - Investing in innovative virtual plastic surgery applications and augmented reality features offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for tech companies to provide personalized and interactive beauty experiences that reduce the need for invasive procedures.
