Added By admin on August 14th, 2009

(PRLEAP.COM) SAN DIEGO, Calif., August 14, 2009 – When thinking about plastic surgery, what comes to mind are liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, injectables and other cosmetic procedures.

Approximately 4.9 million reconstructive procedures were performed in 2008, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. That is why Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery is expanding its coverage of these potentially life-saving reconstructive procedures, with new articles on three of the most common types: hand surgery, cleft repair surgery and skin cancer surgery.

Added By admin on August 14th, 2009

August 14, 2009, Despite the drop in demand for cosmetic and plastic surgery in 2009, researchers are pointing to an upswing for the anti-aging and cosmetic surgery industry.

According to the Freedonia Group, an international research firm that reviews industry trends and creates forecasts, demand for cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures is expected to grow at a rate of nearly 8.5% annually through 2012. Demand for minimally-invasive procedures is expected to grow at an even faster rate, as more people reorganize their budgets and look for plastic surgery alternatives to achieve their ideal look.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has already indicated that plastic surgery procedures in the United States have continued to dip downward since 2008 at a rate of 9 percent. According to The Plastic Surgery Channel, California reports a drop by as much as 40 percent since the same period in 2007. More

Smallest Year-Over-Year Growth On Record For Cosmetic Procedures

Added By admin on March 27th, 2009

March, 27, 2009, Showing sensitivity to weaknesses in the U.S. economy, plastic surgery was not spared from the recession’s grasp. According to the newest national procedural statistics report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), in 2008, doctors performed over 12 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures – encompassing both surgical and minimally-invasive procedures. Surgical numbers dropped nine percent and minimally-invasive numbers rose five percent. Nearly 5 million reconstructive plastic surgery procedures were performed, slightly more than the previous year.

“Like most sectors, plastic surgery is feeling the effects of the economic downturn,” said John Canady, MD, ASPS president. “However, repeat patients and those putting off surgery, likely sustained demand for some minimally-invasive procedures. Growth in demand will likely return as the recession eases and baby boomer’s offspring begin to explore surgical options.” More

The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) is predicting a significant increase in demand for certain types of cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, in addition to trends where consumers are prepared to ‘try’ new and innovative procedures entering the market.

In a December 2008 press release, the ASAPS highlights the increasing growth and popularity of cosmetic fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Evolence, especially as more injectable fillers enter the market. Reloxin, an alternative to Botox, has been under FDA review and may be the latest competition for Botox and other wrinkle removal treatments. More
