New Top Ten: Plastic Surgery Statistics From 2009

The word is out. The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery just published it's annual statistics for cosmetic surgery.

TOP FIVE FOR WOMEN (90%)
1. Breast Augmentation
2. Liposuction
3. Eyelid Surgery
4. Tummy Tuck
5. Breast Reduction

TOP FIVE FOR MEN
1. Liposuction
2. Rhinoplasty
3. Eyelid Surgery
4. Breast Reduction
5. Hair Transplantation

Our own experience with women is similar, although Facelift is also very common. For men in our practice the procedures differ from national trends. We do more facelifts and necklifts along with eyelid surgery. We do liposuction, male breast reduction (gynecomastia treatment), but not rhinoplasty or hair transplants (but we do plenty of laser hair removal).

In the non-surgical realm, wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox or Dysport) remains the most common procedure.

TOP FIVE NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS:
1. Botox (Dysport)
2. Filler (Hyaluronic, Restylane, Juvederm)
3. Laser Hair Removal
4. Microdermabrasion
5. Chemical Peel

In our practice, the trends are similar. Botulinum toxin & injectable fillers are most common. Laser & intense pulsed light treatments for hair, pigment, blood vessels, skin texture, etc. are common as well. We offer a wider range of options than just hair removal. We also offer more advanced non-surgical treatments than microdermabrasion.

Cosmetic Procedures Increase 7%

Here are the highlights from 2007 from ASPS:

Facelifts up 14 %
Breast Implants up 6%
Slight increase for eyelid surgery
Injectables increase
Ethnic patients up 13%
Mild inc. in breast reduction & reconstruction
Liposuction steady
Decreases in rhinoplasty
Steep drops in collagen and hair transplants

The biggest news was that facelifts, that had decreased in the last few years, now returned as more commonly requested by patients. This may be due to realization of the limits of Botox and Hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, etc.). They don't correct laxity, sagging, drooping skin & deeper layers.

Breast augmentation remains the most popular procedure, and its popularity increased. It remains popular in 2008 at our office.

The TOP FIVE surgery procedures were: Augmentation, Liposuction, Rhinoplasty, Eyelid, and Tummy tuck. The TOP FIVE non-surgical procedures were: Botox, Hyaluronic fillers, Peels, Laser hair removal, and Microdermabrasion.
