Such procedures, including works of nose, surgery of eyelids, liposuction, tummy tucks and breast augmentation, tummy fell outnumbered by almost 9 per cent in 2009, the society reported on Tuesday, to 1,521,409 of 1,669,026 in 2008. The nose and eyelids surgery work fell 8% between 715 doctors who responded to the survey, whereas liposuction down a massive 19 percent. Tilt belly and breast augmentation fell 5% and 6%, respectively.
Economic issues may be the story behind the numbers, an operation as a stomach tuck costs on average $4,936, to the exclusion of thousands of dollars in fees for anaesthesia and operating room. But perhaps the Americans also began to make the best of its aspect, investing in the improvement of costume rather than say, liposuction.
"Cosmetic surgery is a luxury item," said Dr. Michael f. McGuire, President of the American Society of plastic surgeons, who practices in Los Angeles. "People think twice before you spend money, even if they do." "I noticed patients even very rich, they are putting".
Dr. McGuire thinks that these deferrers eventually will have the surgery they want. "People are putting off, but if you've been unhappy with something, it will get fixed," he said.
Although the numbers provided by the American Society of plastic surgeons offer a valuable snapshot, are by no means definitive. Physicians who answer the survey a year might not respond to the following year. And the figures do not include doctors who perform cosmetic procedures and trained in, say, obstetricia-ginecolog?a or family medicine.
Declines in this poll echoed the results from another recent study by the American Society of aesthetic plastic surgery, which found a decline even more cosmetic surgery procedures performed last year, 18 per cent.
However some doctors expressed confidence that there is pent-up demand. Dr. Robert Singer, a plastic surgeon in San Diego, said that people have been trying to less costly alternatives to the procedures that they want to.
For example, some patients have "opted to have fillers or Botox because they felt - and was marketed to them - would be instead of a facelift," said Dr. Singer. But "not to give the result they wanted".
Other patients "got a reasonable result" by being injected with a mixture of Botox and fillers, said Dr. Singer, a former President of the American Society of aesthetic plastic surgery. But this result is temporary, and now some of these patients want a surgical improvement of longer duration to his face, he said.
Recently, Realself.com, a website where patients discuss cosmetic procedures, did a survey with Harris Interactive to get an idea of how many consumers there are deferred dreams with aesthetics. In an ideal world in which all have enough money, they asked, how many of us would choose alterations cosmetics? By hundred sixty and nine of the national sample of 2,148 adults who requested in March said they decide to have cosmetic work, of 54 percent who said the same thing in November 2009.
Tom Seery, President and founder of Realself.com, said in an interview that traffic to the site was growing and that visitors show "strength and interest around invasive cosmetic surgery on the side".
Surprisingly, for the first time, the doctors surveyed by the American Society of plastic surgeons reported that the number of injections of botulinum arruga-congelaci?n administered declined 4 percent. Last year, the food and Drug Administration approved Dysport to smooth out the wrinkles between the eyebrows, clear the way to give a timetable of Botox to their market share. But it seems that Dysport arrived just as Americans decided not to get so many injections of botulinum toxin for aesthetic concerns, perhaps a sign of fatigue among people that injections of routine maintenance.
"If you've been having for several years every two months, first of all, has spent much money," said Dr. McGuire, which injects Botox and Dysport. "Added, and it hurts every time that they do." Still, solidly large number of doses of Botox or Dysport were injected in 2009: 4,795,357, to 405 dollars on average. Such injections are the minimally higher invasive cosmetic procedure.
Some dark cosmetic operations increased in 2009, despite their not insignificant cost. There was a slight increase in increase in calf, which involves the use of an implant of silicone to improve calves, 259, from 247. Surgically pumping up calves is not cheap: $3,649 on average, but apparently dancers of ballet and bodybuilders are worth the penalty. "To be a success as a ballet dancer, much about her appearance as its ability to dance," said Dr. McGuire. "It can have good muscle, but it does not form and appearance that is considered optimum".
By Lip augmentation an implant physical, which costs on average $1,736, also is on the rise. More than 21,000 people obtained their lips filled as well as opposed, say, which periodically their lips with a filling. The increase is particularly notable given that it does not implant lip lasting is authorized to do so by the administration of food and drugs, which means that this usage may not be marketed by companies. Rather, doctors can choose to use an implant approved in addition of the face.
