Doctor Survey Shows 17 Million Cosmetic Procedures for 2009

Monday, March 15th, 2010

American cosmetic Surgeons and other physicians performed more than 17 million cosmetic procedures last year, according to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.

The survey, which was different than any previous study by the AACS, posted higher numbers  than ever seen before.  To gather data for the survey, the Academy polled its own members as well as random physicians across the United States.

The past two years have brought an 8 percent increase in cosmetic procedures for AACS members, despite the economic recession.

Procedures that increased markedly include eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty, chemical peels and wrinkle fillers.

“As the economy recovers slowly but surely, we are seeing patients come back and feel better about doing some things for themselves that maybe they’d been putting off for a while,” said Mark Berman MD, president of the AACS.

New You Magazine Launches New Website

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

New You, the official magazine of cosmetic surgery, launched their website earlier this week and the content includes some valuable information about skin health, physical fitness, nutrition and cosmetic surgery.

The articles this month look excellent, especially the piece by Dr. Mark Berman and the fitness article about posture by Maria Mercedes.

One section of the site titled Inspired features several patient profiles in which men and women of different ages discuss the impact a cosmetic surgery procedure made on their lives.

Another area of the site is about “Achieving the Look” with cosmetic procedures. Featured articles discuss arm lift surgery, laser treatments, vein treatment, the tummy tuck, and the Brazilian butt lift.

According to the magazine media kit, the website is supposed to include an area where readers can upload a photo and use software to visualize results of a basic procedure, but that feature must still be under development.

Visit the new New You website.
