Inaugural ASPS
Insights and Trends Report:
Cosmetic Surgery 2022
Exploring the state of plastic surgery in a
post pandemic world
The information contained in this report reflects feedback from members of the American
Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and covers an array of topics related to the state of cosmetic
plastic surgery in the United States and the pandemic¡¯s impact on their practices and patients.
Respondents, all plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery,
shared insights on subjects including:
? Practice volumes
? Patient budget and demand for plastic surgeries
? Patient motivations for seeking consults
? Economic impact on patient interest in plastic surgery
? Popular procedures ¨C both surgical and minimally invasive
This report highlights changes noted by plastic surgeons in
the 18 month period immediately following the height of the
pandemic. It provides insights on changes they are encountering
in the specialty and what they are observing as they engage
with patients. The objective of this report is to provide a
window into plastic surgery during a time of rapid social and
economic change.
Methodology
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) sent an unsolicited survey in June 2022
to active members in the United States who are identified as operating predominantly
aesthetic-focused practices. The online survey was sent to 1,850 member surgeons
and had a response rate of 17.25 percent. All responses were confidential.
NOTE TO READERS
The terms ¡°plastic surgeon¡± and ¡°cosmetic surgeon¡± are often mistakenly used interchangeably by
both the media and the public at large. In the United States, plastic surgeons are physicians who
are trained in the specialty and eligible for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery ¨C
one of only 24 specialty and subspecialty boards that meet the high standards to be recognized by
the American Board of Medical Specialties.
All active members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons are graduates of accredited
medical schools, have undergone six years of specialized training in Plastic Surgery and meet
rigorous standards in several areas, including but not limited to patient safety, ethics, ongoing
education and accreditation. All active members of ASPS are certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery (or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada).
Cosmetic surgery is real surgery, and even minimally or non-invasive procedures should be
performed by a qualified physician with specialized training and experience with the procedure.
Practice demographics
More than three quarters (76 percent) of survey respondents identified themselves as solo practitioners. Solo
practices are defined as a practice without partners or employment affiliations with other practices, though the solo
practitioner commonly has operating privileges at local or regional hospitals or healthcare systems.
