The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) annually ranks the five most popular aesthetic medical procedures that do not require surgery. ASPS reports that “there were 15.9 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic treatments performed in the United States in 2015, a 2 percent increase over 2014.”
Tendency: The Upward
Since the year 2000, there has been an interesting movement in the preferred methods of treatment. Dr. David H. Song, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, notes that “patients have more alternatives than ever,” and that by working closely with their surgeon, they can hone in on specific target regions of the body to obtain the look they desire.
The facelift used to be the procedure of choice for those seeking cosmetic surgery. However, not only are breast lifts on the rise, but also buttock lifts, lower body lifts, and arm lifts. Surgical facelifts aren’t the only option anymore, and there are plenty of non-invasive alternatives. Non-Surgical Treatments. The ASPS’s 2015 top 5 minimally invasive, non-surgical treatments were:
BTA (6.7 million procedures, up 1 percent from 2014 and 759 percent since 2000)
