In an era where social media is driving unprecedented demand for cosmetic procedures, Dr. Yoel Rojas is taking an aggressive stand, and MedNewsPedia, a digital publication, has acknowledged his efforts toward elevating the ethical standards of cosmetic and plastic surgeons with its issuance of the coveted 2024 Professional Ethics Award.
As patients increasingly seek perfection inspired by filters and influencers, Dr. Rojas is calling for an ethical overhaul in the field of plastic surgery. “The pressure to look a certain way is greater than ever,” Rojas stated. “But the reality behind those images is often unattainable-and worse, it’s creating a mental health crisis. Surgeons have a responsibility to navigate these demands with care, putting patients’ well-being first.”

Surgeons have a responsibility to navigate these demands with care, putting patients’ well-being first.”
Known for his comprehensive and psychologically sensitive approach, Dr. Rojas emphasizes the importance of managing expectations before any procedure. He takes the time to explore why patients want specific changes, often confronting the influence of social media trends head-on. “Patients frequently come in with images from Instagram, hoping to replicate the look. But we have to ask, ‘Will this make you truly feel better?’ If the answer is driven by external pressures rather than personal desire, we need to reconsider,” he explained.
Dr. Rojas is not alone in his concern. Studies show a direct link between social media exposure and body image issues, leading to a sharp rise in requests for cosmetic enhancements. Yet, Rojas remains firm in his stance: patient safety, emotional stability, and self-acceptance must come first.
As the industry grapples with these challenges, Dr. Rojas’ proactive stance is gaining attention. His dedication to ethical practice is rapidly positioning him as a leading voice in reshaping how the profession addresses modern pressures.
