New Hampshire Plastic Surgeon Dr. Zeff Discusses ASAPS Stats

The most recent statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) show the three most performed cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in 2010 were breast augmentation, liposuction, and blepharoplasty. At his New Hampshire plastic surgery practice, Dr. Richard Zeff adds tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty to this list of most popular procedures for his patients.

In a year that saw a 9% increase in the overall number of cosmetic surgery procedures performed, the latest report from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) lists breast augmentation, liposuction, and blepharoplasty as the three most common procedures in 2010. As Dr. Richard Zeff returns from the annual ASAPS meeting in Boston, he discusses the increase in cosmetic enhancement procedures, and the correlation between national statistics and the number of procedures he performs as a board-certified plastic surgeon in New Hampshire.

The total number of procedures performed in 2010 totaled more than 9.3 million, which Dr. Zeff says should come as no surprise considering the fact that over half of all Americans now approve of cosmetic surgery. After attending the annual ASAPS meeting, he adds that he expects this approval rating to continue to increase, as new procedures are developed to meet the growing demand.

Since 1997, the number of cosmetic procedures performed has increased more than 155%, due mainly to the surge in popularity of nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. However, Dr. Zeff points out that in the last year nonsurgical procedures performed declined, while surgical procedures such as liposuction and breast augmentation continued to increase at a steady rate. Regardless of the rate at which the plastic surgery industry expands, he says the dedication to patient safety and technological innovation highlighted at this year’s ASAPS conference should continue to support this type of steady growth and overall approval of cosmetic plastic surgery.
