ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL – Despite high interest rates and tighter budgets, Americans seemed to prioritize cosmetic procedures in their self-care routines in 2023. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons® (ASPS) has released the 2023 ASPS Procedural Statistics, which showed a 5 percent rise in plastic surgeries and a 7 percent rise in minimally invasive procedures compared to the previous year. The report, which was released with ASPS-endorsed partner CosmetAssure®, looks at the trends driving the growth or decline in procedures.

"While the data suggests that the drastic growth of plastic surgery during the immediate post-pandemic period has stabilized, the demand for aesthetic procedures remains comparatively robust," said ASPS President Steven Williams, MD. "As patients increasingly prioritize their aesthetic health, it remains imperative that they also prioritize education and safety by seeking out board-certified plastic surgeons. This becomes even more important as patients increasingly try to differentiate quality care and truth among the messages they receive in social media and paid advertisements."
