Brief Description

Main Information

The USA continues to be the world leader in numbers of procedures conducted per head of population and this, plus the fact that accurate U.S. data is available, makes it an extremely useful example to study. Data from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) show volume growth of 304% between 1997 and 2002 (or year-on-year growth of 48%) to a total of 8.47 million procedures, which represents approximately 3.08% of the total population. Of the total in 2002, 88% were conducted on women. Top Surgical Procedures The five most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in 2002 were lipoplasty (liposuction), 372,831; breast augmentation, 249,641; blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), 229,092; rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), 156,973; and breast reduction (females), 125,614. (Note that breast reduction may be covered by insurance, depending on terms of the policy and individual patient factors.) Six new surgical procedures were added to the ASAPS survey for 2002. These included umbilicoplasty (belly button enhancement) and breast nipple enlargement, both of which have been reported as "trends" by the media. ASAPS statistics show that the actual number of these procedures was extremely small, with umbilicoplasty ranking 32nd (2,082 procedures) and breast nipple enlargement ranking 35th (540 procedures) among the 36 procedures surveyed. Since 1997, the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the U.S. has increased 67%, according to ASAPS statistics.
