Are You Thinking About Plastic Surgery?

The demand for plastic surgery procedures increased almost 9% last year, according to statistics released by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.  These numbers reflect what we at Zinsser Plastic Surgery have been hearing across the country this past year.  Patients who put off surgery because of the unsettledness of the economy and the job market are coming back for procedures. 

Cosmetic surgical procedures increased almost 9 percent, with over 1.6 million procedures in 2010.  The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranks the top five surgical procedures as follows:

• Breast Augmentation (318,123)
• Liposuction (289,016)
• Eyelid Surgery (152,123)
• Abdominoplasty (144,929)
• Breast Reduction (138,152) 

Nonsurgical procedures accounted for 83% of the total number of procedures performed.  The top five minimally-invasive procedures are as follows: 

• Botulinum Toxin Type A (2,437,165 procedures)
• Hyaluronic Acid (1,315,121 procedures)
• Laser Hair Removal (936,270 procedures)
• Laser Skin Resurfacing (562,706 procedures)
• Chemical Peel (493,896 procedures)
