Abstract
Objectvie: The population of the United States continues to grow in diversity, particularly within sex and gender. In recent years, there has been a surge in aesthetic procedures in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual (LGB) community. Herein, we discuss a tailored approach to these patient populations and offer guidance to address their concerns both safely and effectively based on a comprehensive review of the literature as well as a roundtable series focusing on diversity in aesthetics.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on PubMed using the following terms: "aesthetics," "cosmetics," "lesbian," "gay," and "bisexual." Additionally, an eight-part roundtable series focusing on diversity in aesthetics was conducted from August 2021 to August 2022.
Results: The results of the literature search as well as the discussion from the roundtable series addressing the LGB community are reviewed within.
Limitations: We are limited by the paucity of data available in the existing literature. We also acknowledge differences within LGB subgroups and a need for individualization.
Conclusion: A tailored approach to the LGB patient with regards to fillers, neuromodulators, and energy-based devices may offer improved patient satisfaction and safety.
