March 20, 2012 — Almost 9.2 million cosmetic
procedures were performed in the United States in 2011, and
Americans spent nearly $10 billion on cosmetic procedures last
year.
These are some of the key findings in the new
statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS).
Cosmetic surgical procedures increased almost 1%
since 2010, while minimally invasive procedures decreased almost 2%
in the same time period.
This is the 15th year the ASAPS has tracked plastic
surgery. Since 1997, cosmetic procedures have increased 197% for
men and women combined — and there have been some changes over the
years.
“Surgery seems to be slowly coming back,” says ASAPS
President Jeffrey M. Kenkel, MD. He is a professor and vice
chairman of the department of plastic surger

Noninvasive procedures such as injectables do have a
role, but individuals are looking for more durable results, says
Kenkel.
One of the reasons that the numbers are creeping up
is that people need to stay in the work force longer, which means
that they must compete with their younger counterparts for the same
jobs, he says.
Liposuction topped the list of most popular plastic
surgeries in 2011, and injections of botulinum toxin type A
(including Botox and Dysport) ranked as the top nonsurgical
procedures, the new statistics show.
Top Surgical Procedures
According to the new statistics, the top five
surgical procedures in 2011 were:
- Liposuction
- Breast augmentation
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Eyelid surgery
- Breast lift
Fully two-thirds of women opting for breast
augmentation with implants chose silicone-filled breast implants in
2011. Kenkel says this shows that women and plastic surgeons are
becoming more comfortable with the safety of these
implants.
Due to safety concerns, there was a 14-year ban on
the use of silicone breast implants. This ban was lifted in 2006.
In a further nod confirming the safety of these implants, the FDA
recently approved a new silicone-gel breast implant from Sientra,
making it the third company to market these implants in the
U.S.
Top Nonsurgical Procedures
In 2011, the top five minimally invasive procedures
were:
- Botulinum toxin type A
- Hyaluronic acid-based fillers (for treatment of
wrinkles)
- Laser hair removal
- Microdermabrasion
- Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments (for
treatment of skin redness and uneven skin tone)
Women had almost 8.4 million cosmetic procedures in
2011, and men had almost 800,000. The number of cosmetic procedures
for men increased over 121% from 1997, which was the year that
ASAPS first started tracking these statistics.
The new statistics were based on questionnaires sent
to dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and plastic surgeons. More
than 1,100 doctors returned the questionnaires. The final
sample included responses from 420 plastic surgeons, 384
dermatologists, and 211 otolaryngologists.
