In late spring, after almost two months of pandemic-induced shutdown, Dr. Anita Kulkarni was finally allowed to reopen her plastic surgery practice near Dupont Circle in northwest Washington. It was like I had opened a floodgate, she said. I had 40 appointments, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. It was insane.
Kulkarni estimates that even though she was unable to work for a significant part of this spring, she ll finish out 2020 with 20% more cases than she did last year. Her patients, she explained, have spent these last few months staring at themselves on Zoom and noticing imperfections that hadn t necessarily bothered them before.
