COVID-19 practice closures lead to a 10.9% decrease in surgical procedures<\/i><\/p>\n

WEST LEBANON, N.H.<\/span>, Dec. 28, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) released the results of its annual Global Survey on Aesthetic\/Cosmetic Procedures today, which showcased the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aesthetic plastic surgery procedures worldwide throughout 2020. <\/p>\n

Highlights<\/b> <\/p>\n

Plastic surgery procedures for aesthetic purposes decreased by 10.9% overall in 2020, with 77.8% of surgeons globally experiencing temporary practice closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonsurgical procedures (primarily fillers and hair removal treatments) continued to increase, but by lower proportions than seen in previous years (5.7% in 2020, compared to 7.6% in 2019). This resulted in an overall decrease of 1.8% for all procedures.  <\/p>\n

Dr. Arturo Ramirez-Monta\u00f1ana, Chair of ISAPS’ Global Survey Committee said, “This downward trend is in line with our survey findings of lower patient demand due to safety and financial concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, many of us have also experienced an increase in demand due to patients’ increased flexibility, the opportunity for a more private recovery and, particularly for facial procedures, the so-called ‘zoom effect’. This has limited the impact of COVID-19 on overall procedures.”<\/p>\n

Aesthetic Procedures<\/b><\/p>\n

The most common surgical procedures worldwide remained the same during 2020, with breast augmentation making up 16% of all procedures, liposuction 15.1%, eyelid surgery 12.1%, rhinoplasty 8.4% and abdominoplasty 7.6%. <\/p>\n

The top five nonsurgical procedures also remained consistent: botulinum toxin (43.2% of all nonsurgical procedures), hyaluronic acid (28.1%), hair removal (12.8%), nonsurgical fat reduction (3.9%) and photo rejuvenation (3.6%). Around 85% of nonsurgical procedures were performed on women.<\/p>\n

In spite of the overall reduction in surgeries, rhinoplasty and brow lift surgeries continued to increase, and nonsurgical facial rejuvenation showed a 13.9% increase compared to a decrease in both 2019 and 2018. <\/p>\n

Overall, nonsurgical procedures increased, except for botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, and micro-ablative resurfacing (decreasing by 0.9%, 6.1% and 11.3%, respectively). <\/p>\n

The most common surgical procedures in men continue to be eyelid surgery, liposuction, gynecomastia, rhinoplasty and ear surgery. <\/p>\n

Looking at the age distribution for different procedures, 19-34-year-olds made up the highest proportion of those undergoing rhinoplasty (67.9%) while 35-50-year-olds accounted for the majority of botulinum toxin procedures (50.2%).  <\/p>\n

At the time of this survey, only 45% of surgeons had seen a return to pre-pandemic patient volume. Dr. Ramirez-Monta\u00f1ana said, “Despite the terrible pandemic we are living through, it seems that most aesthetic plastic surgeons are getting back to near-normal practice and I am optimistic about 2021, both for the plastic surgery industry and for surgical and nonsurgical procedures.”<\/p>\n

Country Statistics<\/b><\/p>\n

The USA<\/span> saw an increase in both surgical and nonsurgical procedures, consolidating its position as the number one country for surgical procedures performed worldwide (14.7% of total surgical procedures) and taking the lead from Brazil<\/span> with most nonsurgical procedures performed worldwide (22.1% of total nonsurgical procedures).<\/p>\n

The top 10 countries for procedures in 2020 were the USA<\/span>, Brazil<\/span>, Germany<\/span>, Japan<\/span>, Turkey<\/span>, Mexico<\/span>, Argentina<\/span>, Italy<\/span>, Russia<\/span>, and India<\/span>, followed by Spain<\/span>, Greece<\/span>, Colombia<\/span> and Thailand<\/span>. <\/p>\n

Mexico<\/span>, Turkey<\/span>, and Colombia<\/span> saw the highest proportion of foreign patients: 28.2%, 25.8% and 21.8%, respectively in 2020. Thailand<\/span>, which held the number one position last year, was fourth highest at 20.9%. <\/p>\n

Hospitals continue to be the primary facility where surgical procedures are performed (43.8% worldwide), apart from the USA<\/span> where office facilities (45% of procedures) and free-standing surgical centers (34.3%) are more commonly used.<\/p>\n

Survey Methodology <\/b><\/p>\n

Survey participants completed a questionnaire that primarily focused on the number of specific surgical and nonsurgical procedures performed in 2020, along with some ancillary questions related to the impact of COVID-19, surgeon demographics and the prevalence of medical tourism. This questionnaire was sent to approximately 25,000 plastic surgeons in ISAPS’ database. Data from a total of 1,081 plastic surgeons were compiled for this survey. The results were compiled, tabulated and analyzed by Industry Insights, an independent research firm based in Columbus, OH<\/span>. ISAPS is the only organization to collect this type of cosmetic data annually on a global scale.
