Cosmetic Surgery on the Rise After Pandemic
January 27th, 2023
The American Aesthetic Society announced the latest figures for cosmetic surgery procedures. Breast procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift and reductions were up 48%. Specialized face procedures such as brow lifts and face lifts also increased last year. With more than 2,200 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons active members, which I am a member, the statistics report that Americans spent over $14.6 billion dollars on aesthetic procedures in 2021.
This data may point to possible effects of life during the global pandemic, with patients having more downtime to undergo cosmetic surgery without missing work at the office. While 2022 figures are not available yet, I suspect the trend will continue, as more of my patients express a pent-up desire to consider cosmetic surgery now.
