US Cosmetic Surgery Interest Dips Slightly
The recent turbulence in the global economy has not gone unnoticed in the US cosmetic surgery industry. Recent figures show that although $10 billion was spent on plastic surgery in 2009, this figure was down 3 per cent on the previous year.
Breast enlargement, nose jobs, eyelid surgery, liposuction and tummy tucks were all down. Liposuction showed the biggest decline according the latest figures released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The top five procedures overall in 2009 were breast augmentation (down 6 percent), nose reshaping (down 8 percent), eyelid surgery (down 8 percent), liposuction (down 19 percent), and tummy tucks (down 5 percent).
However it wasn’t all bad news. Less invasive procedures such as Botox and wrinkle fillers increased in popularity and these procedures are up by a massive 99 per cent since 2000.

We did noticed a dip in clients last year however the interest in cosmetic surgery for men has increased at cities like Los Angeles economy dropout has led many in the potential new workforce to “look younger” We are adapting to the trend but overall your blog is true and there is a definite economy/service shift.

I agree with the article and New Body Cosmetic’s comment. It’s all about keeping with the trends. Face lifts are growing more popular these days and since they aren’t as dramatic/costly as other procedures, I’m finding them to increase in popularity.

That would be due to recession.

From a UK perspective, I think we have seen interest in Botox and dermal fillers increase, however plastic surgery has gone down as people are seeking lower cost temporary procedures. People are also willing to shop around for a lower price.
