and combined surgical and non-surgical procedures are up
20 percent compared with last year’s data, with a total of
12,792,377 procedures performed.
Cosmetic procedures have increased by 39 percent over
the past five years (from 2011) with surgical procedures up
17 percent and non-surgical procedures up 44 percent.
The most popular surgical procedure was liposuction
with 396,048 procedures performed. Interestingly, it is the
only surgical procedure with a spot in the top 10 cosmetic
procedures overall.
For the first time this year, statistical data for fat grafting
to the breasts, buttocks, and face was reported. There
were 18,135 fat grafting procedures to the breast, 18,487
to the buttocks, and 48,059 to the face. Fat transfer to
the face was the 9th most popular surgical procedure
in 2015.
The procedures with the most increases between
2014 and 2015 were: non-surgical skin tightening (up 58
percent); tattoo removal (up 39 percent); microdermabrasion
(up 34 percent); buttock lifts (up 32 percent); male breast
reduction for treatment of gynaecomastia (up 26 percent).
Cosmetic injectables overall (including anti-wrinkle
injections and fillers) saw a 21 percent increase in 2015.
Ever-popular procedures, including liposuction and
breast augmentation, also saw growth this year as the
first and second most popular surgical procedures,
respectively, and accounting for nearly 40 percent of all
surgical procedures performed.
James C. Grotting, MD, President of ASAPS stated:
‘Our industry’s growth is considerable, but not at all
surprising. It reflects a healthy and robust economy
wherein many people can afford to, and want to invest in
themselves.’
‘More people now perceive aesthetic enhancements
and procedures as essential,’ he continued. ‘I personally
believe the motivating factors for that are varied, but
remaining competitive in the workforce is certainly a
common factor. Youth is a commodity, and people are
investing in themselves to maintain a younger, healthier
appearance.’ csbm
