Most Common Types of Cosmetic Procedures

The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) is the authority on the most common or popular types of cosmetic procedures performed worldwide. In 2010, it released the results of its Biennial Global Survey, a year-long study of cosmetic surgery in the top 25 countries and regions where it's performed that covered 75% of all procedures undertaken globally throughout 2009. Liposuction, breast augmentation, eyelid lifts, "nose jobs" and "tummy tucks" were the top five procedures. Brazil, the U.S., China, Mexico, India and Japan were the dominant countries. For the first time, ISAPS reported the number of non-surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons was greater than the number of surgical procedures.

In 2009, liposuction was the most common plastic surgery procedure worldwide, according to ISAPS. "...Been hiding your age from the whole world? But for how many years will this keep going? Or got fed up trying those seducing anti aging creams, uncomfortable surgery and unhealthy chemicals? Do Not Worry, dear. Right here is a natural cure to look and get younger, healthier and sexier than you are. So here it is for you Anti-aging Foods..". The procedure, which involves the vacuum-assisted removal of fat from the body, represented 18.8% of all surgical procedures.

After holding the title for the most popular procedure for the previous 10 years, 2009 saw breast augmentation relegated to second place, representing 17% of all cosmetic surgeries performed. Breast augmentation is the process of enlarging the breasts through the use of implants.

Blepharoplasty is the medical term for an eyelid lift. Upper or lower eyelid lifts accounted for 13.5% of all cosmetic surgery in 2009.

Rhinoplasty, otherwise known as nose reshaping or a "nose job," was the fourth most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in 2009, representing 9.4% of all surgical procedures performed.

Abdominoplasty, often referred to as a "tummy tuck," was the fifth most common cosmetic surgery procedure in 2009, representing 7.3% of all surgeries worldwide.

The top three non-surgical procedures in 2009, as identified by the ISAPS survey, were neuromodulators injections, commonly known as Botox (32.7%), wrinkle-busting hyaluronic acid injections (20.1%), and laser hair removal (13.1%). Countries where non-surgical procedures were the most common were the U.S., Brazil, Mexico and China and to a lesser extent, Japan, Hungary, South Korea, India and Germany.
