Breast Enlargement Still #1
February 21st, 2012
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released the latest data collected for cosmetic surgery procedures in 2011. ASPS statistics represent procedures performed by ASPS member surgeons like me, who are board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. The Top 5 most popular procedures are breast enlargement, nose and eye surgery, liposuction and facelifts. Both breast enlargement and facelifts have shown a 5% uptick in popularity from 2010.
I have found that my practice routinely sees women seeking breast enlargement surgery, especially after they are finished having children. Several of my patients have shared their personal stories on our Nipntuck Blog about restoring their figures following breast-feeding. Over 300,000 women had breast surgery last year, many of them as part of this Mommy makeover. Our documentary about one such patient is entitled Restoring Jennifer is linked here and is also posted in the headings at the top of the page.

Gen X Embraces Cosmetic Surgery
February 14th, 2012
2011 saw an increase in cosmetic surgery in spite of a sagging economy. It’s the Gen X’ers leading the pack in finding solutions for sagging problems of a different sort! According to a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), adults between the ages of 31 and 45 accounted for almost half of all cosmetic procedures in 2011. This is really nothing new, because while on the surface it looks surprising, this age group regularly accounts for the majority of cosmetic surgery. This is true in my own practice. Baby boomers (now ages 51-64) have already chosen to have surgery in their late 30’s and mid 40’s, as Gen X is doing currently. Baby boomers accounted for just 28% of the procedures last year, perhaps simply relying on less extensive procedures to serve as tune-ups for previous surgery.
