Body Shaping, Non-Invasive Procedures Rise in 2017
New statistics reveal the shape of plastic surgery
The 2017 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) shows continued growth in cosmetic procedures over the last year. The annual statistics also reveal that Americans are turning to new and innovative ways to shape their bodies, as minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures have increased nearly 200% since 2000.
According to the ASPS report, 17.5 million surgical and minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States in 2017, a 2% increase over 2016.
Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures grew at a slightly higher rate than surgical procedures in 2017. While three of the top-five surgical procedures focused on the body, the top minimally-invasive procedures focused on the face.
