(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 6, 2009 -- New statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery shows more than 10.2 million surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2008. That’s a 162 percent jump from the data first collected by the ASAPS in 1997. The study indicates the number one most performed surgical enhancement procedure was breast augmentation – with more than 355,671 cited in the report - followed by liposuction and eyelid surgery. For non-surgical enhancement procedures, BOTOX® Cosmetic led the way with 2,464, 123 procedures. Laser hair removal came in second with 1,280,964. Overall, 92 percent of cosmetic procedures were undergone by women, with men making up the rest.
Dr. Charles Perry is the head of a Sacramento plastic surgery practice called Chrysalis Cosmetics. Dr. Perry says patients at his practice come from across the demographic spectrum, and most who are considering cosmetic enhancement are looking for results that provide a noticeable improvement, but don’t give away the fact that the patient has undergone treatment. And Dr. Perry says aesthetic enhancement is not just about how one looks, but also how it can impact their self-esteem and give them a better view of themselves. “One of the benefits of being a cosmetic surgeon is being able to see the transformation people undergo after their procedure. It’s amazing to see what a little fine-tuning or enhancing an area of the body can do for someone’s self-confidence.” Dr. Perry’s practice encompasses a large number of procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, and he says with the advent of new and ever-evolving technologies in the field of plastic surgery, patients can now get a much clearer idea of the outcomes of procedures before even setting foot in the operating room. In fact, Chrysalis Cosmetics is now using technology such as the Portrait 3D Surgical Simulation Platform, a system designed to give patients considering breast augmentation a computer-generated image of how their breasts will likely appear after implants have been placed.
