2007 Plastic Surgery StatisticsAmerican Society of Plastic Surgeons has published their 2007 statistics. More and more Americans are having cosmetic surgery and cosmetic procedures to improve their appearance and quality of life. Click here for 2007 statistics.
Breast Augmentation NewsFor the first time, Breast Augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure since the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) began collecting statistics in 1992. Nearly 11 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures were performed in the United States in 2006, up 7 percent from 2005, according to statistics released in March 2007 by the ASPS. "Breast augmentation has always been among the top five surgical procedures, but until now has never been number one,” said ASPS President, Roxanne Guy, MD. There were 329,000 breast augmentation procedures performed last year. “With the return of silicone breast implants to the U.S. market, it is likely the number of breast augmentations will continue to increase. Some women prefer the look and feel of silicone implants and were waiting for the FDA to make its decision.” The remaining top 4 cosmetic surgery procedures are: nose reshaping (307,000), liposuction (303,000), eyelid surgery (233,000) and tummy tuck (146,000). "Cosmetic plastic surgery is a good barometer of the local and national economy,” said ASPS President, Dr. Guy. “The increase in cosmetic plastic surgery procedures mirrors the strong economy, low unemployment levels and high consumer confidence of 2006.” Dr. Michael Hynes says his cosmetic surgery practice reflects the same growth in patients having Breast Augmentation surgery. “I absolutely do more Breast Augmentation surgeries than any other procedure. My patients are thrilled with their results; they love the way they look and they enjoy more confidence. Most patients wish they had had the surgery sooner.”
