ASAPS Plastic Surgery Statistics

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Survey 2016

fat freezing micool-aThe annual ASAPS statistics show the top surgical and non-surgical treatments in the USA with a breakdown for gender and age group.

With nearly 20 years of data, the ASAPS statistics provide a unique insight into what procedures and treatments people are choosing and how that has changed over the years.

Liposuction Top Surgical Procedure

For 2016, Liposuction was clearly the top procedure, as statistics showed:

  • Top cosmetic surgery procedure (414,335 procedures)
  • Top surgical procedure for the 4th year running
  • Top procedure for women (369,323 procedures)
  • Top procedure for men (45,012 procedures)
  • Top procedure for age groups 35-50 and 51-64

The popularity of liposuction is also continuing to grow

  • 4.6% increase in liposuction procedures vs 2015
  • 134% increase in lipo since records began in 1997

Non-Surgical Lipo

Cryolipolysis

Nowadays, liposuction surgery is not the only option. ASAPS statistics show growth for cryolipolysis, a non-invasive method of tackling unwanted areas of fat by using intense cold to ‘kill off’ fat cells, leaving a smoother and leaner body shape.

According to ASAPS, Nonsurgical Fat Reduction (incl. CoolSculpting, Vaser Shape, Liposonix) accounted for 169,695 procedures during 2016 with a growth of 5.6% vs 2015, so a faster rate of growth than surgical liposuction.

However, this figure is based only on procedures carried out by board certified plastic surgeons and do not take into account any carried out by nurses, beauty therapists or other non-surgical staff, which can be the case with non-invasive procedures.

Advantages of Non-Surgical Lipo

Non-surgical lipo offers some clear advantages vs the surgical alternative, including:

  • Lower cost
  • Faster recovery
  • Less painful
  • No time in hospital
  • No scalpels or needles
  • No anesthetic or sedative

ASAPS Statistics

ASAPS have worked with independent research company in order to compile data from 1997-2016, giving a nearly 20 year trend as to how procedures have grown. Questionnaires are mailed and made available online for 30,000 board-certified physicians. The data is based on completed surveys from 795 physicians and final figures are projected to reflect nationwide statistics with a 95% level of confidence
