The ASAPS organization today published national statistics for cosmetic surgery procedures. Americans spent $8.3 billion for surgery and $4.7 billion for non-surgical procedures. Minorities accounted for 22% of patients. Tops for women were breast augmentation, liposuction, eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty and breast reduction. Major non-surgical techniques were Botox, Hyaluronic acid fillers, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, and laser / intense light treatments. Surgical procedures increased by 9% while non-surgical decreased by <1%. We continue to notice increases in all cosmetic procedures in our practice.
