SUMMARY
Informed Beauty bridges the gap between cosmetic surgery expectations and reality by offering personalized and realistic predictions, mental health support, and transparent insights. The project began with exploring the impact of social media and appearance-related anxiety on surgery decisions. Through extensive research and user feedback, it became clear that many individuals face regret due to unrealistic expectations and lack of preparation. Informed Beauty empowers users to make confident, well-informed decisions by combining advanced visualization tools, emotional readiness support, and seamless access to trusted professionals.
challenge
Stakeholders, primarily individuals aged 21-40 considering cosmetic surgery, face unmet needs in decision-making tools. Current platforms lack realistic visualizations of risks, complications, and recovery, leading to unmet expectations and regret. Mental health support for emotional readiness is often absent, despite its importance. Social media amplifies unrealistic beauty standards, adding pressure without providing transparency. These gaps present an opportunity for a holistic platform offering personalized predictions, risk awareness, mental health resources, and seamless access to trusted professionals to empower confident decisions.
Outcome
The project evolved into Informed Beauty, a comprehensive platform addressing stakeholder needs by bridging the gap between cosmetic surgery expectations and reality. It offers personalized, AI-driven predictions tailored to users’ lifestyles and goals, realistic risk and complication visualizations, recovery timelines, and mental health support through counseling and readiness quizzes. Additionally, it provides seamless appointment booking with top-rated surgeons. By combining these features, Informed Beauty directly addresses gaps in transparency, emotional readiness, and decision-making tools, empowering users to make informed choices.
