Report on all cosmetic procedures
This data comes from a new report by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). The report also covers surgical procedures such as breast augmentation (breast surgery) as well as non-surgical procedures such as muscle relaxant treatments. Since 2000 the muscle relaxant treatment has been the most popular cosmetic nonsurgical procedure. The treatment gained FDA approval for cosmetic use in 2002. There were over 10 million surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in 2012. Surgical procedures accounted for 17% of the total number of procedures and 61% of the total expenditures, with nonsurgical procedures making up 83% of the total number of procedures and 39% of total expenditures.
