Such procedures, including nose jobs, eyelid surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks and breast cancer industrial cooperation, reduced in number by nearly 9% in 2009, the society reported Tuesday, 1,521,409 from 1,669,026 2008. Nose jobs, eyelid surgery fell 8 percent among the doctors who answered the survey, 715, while liposuction were down a whopping 19 percent. Tummy tucks and breast cancer industrial cooperation decreased 5 and 6 per cent, respectively.
Wallet questions can be the story behind the numbers — an action that a tummy tuck costs on average $ 4,936, with the exception of thousands of dollars in anaesthesia and operating room. But maybe the Americans also started to make the best of their glances, invest in closet improvement instead of, say, liposuction.
-Cosmetic surgery is an object of luxury, says Dr. Michael f. McGuire, President of the American Society of plastic surgeons, who practices in Los Angeles. "People are thinking twice about money, even if they have it, I have noticed very wealthy patients, they postpone."
Dr. McGuire believes the deferrers eventually will have the operation as they wish. "People there, but if you have been unhappy about something, you will get it fixed," he said.
The numbers entered by the American Society of plastic surgeons offer a valuable snapshot, but they are not definitive. The doctor replies to a survey cannot answer it next year. And the numbers are not doctors who perform cosmetic procedures and trained in, say, obstetrics-gynaecology and general medicine.
Declines in this study also another recent survey by the American Society for aesthetic plastic surgery, which found an even steeper decline in cosmetic-surgery procedures performed last year to 18 percent.
Some doctors even expresses confidence that there is pent up demand. Dr. Robert Singer, a plastic surgeon in San Diego, said that people have tried less expensive alternative to the procedures they want.
For example, some patients have "chosen to be fillers or Botox because they felt – and it was marketed to them – is it instead of a facelift," Dr. Singer said. But "it does not provide the results they wanted."
Other patients "had a reasonable consequence" of which is injected with a combination of Botox and fillers, "says Dr. Singer, a former President of the American Society for aesthetic plastic surgery. But the result is temporary, and some of these patients now want a longer-lasting surgical improvement of their face, "he said.
Realself.com, a website where patients discuss cosmetic procedures, recently did a survey with Harris Interactive to get a feel for how many consumers it is aesthetic dreams deferred. In an idealized world in which we all have enough money, they asked, how many of us would opt for cosmetic changes? Sixty-nine percent of the nationwide sample of 2,148 adults were surveyed in March said they would choose to have cosmetic work, up from 54 percent who said the same thing in November 2009.
Tom Seery, President and founder of Realself.com, said in an interview that the site's traffic grew and that visitors viewed-strength and interest around cosmetic surgery on invasive page.
For the first time reported the physician were examined by the American Society of plastic surgeons, surprisingly, that the number of Wrinkle-botulinum toxin injections administered freezing decreased by 4%. Last year, approved by the Food and Drug Administration of Dysport for smoothing wrinkles between the eyebrows, deselect to give Botox a run for its market share. But it seems that came just as the Americans Dysport is not decided to get as many botulinum toxin injections for aesthetic problems, perhaps a sign of a fatigue among people who received routine injections for maintenance.
"You've had it for several years, every couple of months, first of all, you've spent a lot of money," said Dr. McGuire, renewing the Botox and Dysport. -Added, and it hurts every time you have. A staggeringly large number of doses of Botox or Dysport was still injected in 2009: 4,795,357, at $ 405 each on average. Such injections would remain the top minimally invasive cosmetic procedure.
Some obscure cosmetic operations increased in 2009, despite their not insignificant costs. It was a small uptick in calf support system, which involves using a silicone implant to improve calves up to 259, from 247. Surgical pumping calves is not cheap — $ amounted on average – but apparently ballerina and Bodybuilders will find them valuable. "To be a success as a ballerina, that's about as much your appearance and your ability to dance," Dr. McGuire said. "You may have good muscle, but it has no shape or appearance which is considered to be optimally."
LIP industrial cooperation by means of a physical implants, which costs on average $ 1,736, is also increasing. More than 21,000 people had lips filled in this way as opposed to, say, on a regular basis with the lips are injected with a. Uptick is especially remarkable considering that no lasting lip implant approved for that purpose by the Food and Drug Administration, which means that this use cannot be marketed by the company. Doctors may instead choose to use an implant approved for another part of the face.
