Which surgeries were hot in 2011?

by | Mar 25, 2012 | General Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery Blog

Last week The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) announced the release of their statistics report for 2011. Here are the bullet points.

The top five cosmetic procedures in the U.S. in 2011 were:

  1. Liposuction (325,332 procedures)
  2. Breast Augmentation (316,848 procedures)
  3. Abdominoplasty (149,410 procedures)
  4. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) (147,540 procedures)
  5. Breast lift (127,054 procedures)

As you can see, liposuction is back on top – from 2008 to 2010, breast augmentation enjoyed a brief moment as the most popular procedure, but liposuction is back up 13% from 2010.

In total, Americans received more than 9 million procedures in 2011, costing almost $10 billion.
