COSMETIC SURGERY MARKET ANALYSIS

Cosmetic surgery is a unique branch of medicine that focuses on improving the appearance of a person through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of head, neck, and body. It aims to improve a person's appearance, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

Cosmetic generally includes two types of surgery that is reconstructive and elective cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery is typically performed to improve the appearance of a visible scar, skin condition, or malformed body part caused by an injury, surgery, disease, or birth defect. While elective cosmetic surgery is usually done for non-medical reasons. This includes facelifts, breast implants, liposuction, and breast reduction, which aims to subjectively improve a patient's physical appearance.

Global Cosmetic Surgery Market – Dynamics

The emerging prevalence of obesity in population, which then leads to increased number of liposuction cases, is expected to propel the global cosmetic surgery market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the adult obesity rate in 2019 was 42.4%, which was probably the first time when the national obesity rate surpassed the 40% mark, thus demonstrating obesity crisis in the U.S.

Increasing number of cosmetic and plastic surgeries is also expected to drive the global cosmetic surgery market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), nearly 18 million people in the U.S. underwent surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in 2018. These factors are expected to support the global cosmetic surgery market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, according to The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) report, in 2018, over 28,000 cosmetic procedures were performed, a 0.1 percent increase over 2017 in the UK.
