10 Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Predictions for 2009











New York, NY (Vocus) December 19, 2008

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the leading national organization of board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic surgery, offers its predictions for cosmetic surgery in 2009. Predictions are based on interviews with leading plastic surgeons around the country.


Aesthetic Medicine has seen a dramatic increase in the diversity of the patients treated over the past decade and this trend is expected to continue to grow stronger than ever, with applications that cater to all people. The appeal of both aesthetic surgery and cosmetic medicine will continue to spread across the spectrum of our population, as plastic surgeons further tailor treatments to meet the sometimes unique needs of that expanding population.

The growth and popularity of cosmetic fillers (Evolence, Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) will continue to increase as products continue to evolve and new players enter the market.

As our population increasingly realizes the dangers and health consequences of obesity, the number of patients seeking plastic surgery procedures for body contouring after dramatic weight loss (abdominoplasty, lower body lift, upper arm lift, etc.) will rise in 2009.

Reloxin (an injectable form of Botulinum Toxin Type A) will gain FDA approval and compete with Botox (the most popular cosmetic procedure for the past 5 years) and other similar products may begin to enter pre-market clinical trials.

Consumers looking for a bargain on cosmetic procedures will unfortunately lead to an increase in horror stories about “discount injectables” bought offshore and cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgical procedures performed by untrained or poorly trained practitioners.

Experimental techniques for non-invasive fat removal (SonoScultpt, UltraShape) as a future alternative or adjunct to liposuction (lipoplasty) surgery, will continue be tested in clinical trials.

Men will represent a growing segment of the aesthetic surgery market. (According to a February 2008 consumer survey commissioned by ASAPS, 57 percent of men approve of cosmetic surgery, and 20 percent would consider having cosmetic surgery. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of American men surveyed said they would not be embarrassed if people in addition to their family and close friends knew they had undergone cosmetic surgery.)

As the popularity of non surgical and minimally invasive procedures continues to grow; surgeons and manufacturers will develop new techniques and products that advance the science, produce even better results and lessen recovery time.

Cosmetic surgery “vacations” will become less popular as educated consumers understand the safety and risk issues associated with surgical procedures and travel. Surgery performed by board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons, in accredited facilities where follow-up care is available will continue to be the safest option and the best value.

Following the trend in increased consumer sophistication regarding healthcare choices, board certification of practitioners, and accreditation of surgical facilities will play an even more important role in choosing a cosmetic surgeon.

The Mandell-Brown Cosmetic Surgery Center Reports Increase in Procedures for Men










Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) October 7, 2007

Leading facial plastic surgery and body cosmetic surgery facility, The Mandell-Brown Cosmetic Surgery Center, has reported an increase in procedures by men in recent years including a large spike in procedures for men in 2007.

The increase in plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery for men includes a variety of procedures including facelifts, tummy tucks, implants, liposuction, and Botox™. The surgeons from the facility attribute this increase in procedures for men to the fact that plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery taboos have been eliminated, and more men are seeing a connection between their outward appearance and their self-confidence and their success.

Men in highly competitive industries are having more procedures done than in other industries. Salesmen, marketing executives, real estate brokers, entertainers, and medical professionals are signing up for more procedures than other professions. These men are pointing to the fact that they either want to look younger, healthier, or both in order to help their confidence and also assist them with their careers. Many men are pointing to their appearance as a reason they received or did not receive a promotion or other job.

The Mandell-Brown Cosmetic Surgery Center has added procedures and/or related equipment specifically for the needs of men. As procedures for men continue to increase, one will continue to see new procedures and equipment specifically designed for the needs of men of all backgrounds and ages.

MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org Launches New Cosmetic Surgeons Review Website










Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 9, 2007

My Cosmetic Surgery Advisor announces the launch of its newly revised consumer advocacy website, http://www.MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org. The new site provides state-of-the-art navigation capabilities, improved usability, live eChat with personal advisors on cosmetic surgery procedures, and animated 3-D procedures so consumers can become better educated prior to going under the knife.

According to a February 2007 Harris Interactive poll, 40% of cosmetic surgery patients wished they had done more research prior to their procedure–Rather amazing, since, by definition, all felt the need to commence their surgeries.

Between 66% to 78% of “cosmetic surgeons” did not meet MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org’s minimum medical education requirements, as any licensed medical doctor in the US and dentists with little or no further training in 15 states (CA and NY pending), can and often do proclaim themselves “board certified cosmetic surgeons.”

MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org is dedicated to providing the consumer free factual resources and personal guidance with:


Information regarding cosmetic surgery options and procedures
Background information on any surgeon in your area
Evaluations on top surgeons who meet your specific needs and our stringent standards (medical education, training, civil, criminal (including DUI’s), and malpractice checks.

About MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org

MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org began as a grass roots effort by concerned individuals to help the public become better educated, learn Insider’s Secrets, and stop bad cosmetic surgery. MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org does not advocate or promote elective cosmetic surgery. However, since its inception in 2006, MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org has helped countless women and men who have chosen to enhance themselves to learn more about their desired cosmetic procedure as well as recommend surgeons who have met MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org’s stringent screening criteria.

Live counselors are available via toll free phone calls or web-based eChat to conveniently and confidentially answer questions regarding cosmetic surgery procedures. Over 11 million elective cosmetic procedures were performed by board certified doctors in 2006, while total cosmetic procedures are estimated to total well over 30 million in 2006. Up to 80% of “cosmetic surgeons” in certain print publications, web referral companies, and telephone directories do not meet MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org’s medical education requirements, let alone extensive background checks.

MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org is based in Los Angeles, CA, and operates in Dallas-Fort Worth and Los Angeles. Due to different state and local laws, as well as the extensive screening involved, surgeons outside of these areas have yet to be evaluated by MyCosmeticSurgeryAdvisor.org.

New Information Resource about Breast Augmentation Surgery — The Cosmetic Surgery Directory










Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 5, 2006

Breast augmentation surgery is the second most popular cosmetic surgery procedures according to The American Society of Plastic Surgery. With the advent of the Internet, there is an abundance of information about breast augmentation as well as other cosmetic surgery procedures. Unfortunately, much of that information only highlights the benefits with glamorous before and after photos.

“We realized that consumers are looking for a comprehensive information resource about breast augmentation and other cosmetic surgery procedures,” said Shannon Montoya, director of account services for The Cosmetic Surgery Directory – http://www.the-cosmetic-surgery-directory.com. “We are committed to becoming that information resource.”

The Cosmetic Surgery Directory has an extensive list of articles about breast augmentation surgery – http://www.the-cosmetic-surgery-directory.com/articles_breastaug.html – including articles that address the risks and complications about breast augmentation surgery and capsular contracture. In addition, the Cosmetic Surgery Directory also includes articles about topical subjects like saline vs. silicone gel breast implants as well as information about TUBA breast augmentation compared with trans-axillary breast augmentation – http://www.the-cosmetic-surgery-directory.com/article_tuba.html. It even includes information about breast implant surgery for teens.

According to Ms. Montoya, The Cosmetic Surgery Directory already has a number of articles on each cosmetic surgery procedure, and is writing more about each procedure every week. The articles are written by plastic surgeons, nurses and writers who have done a lot of research on each cosmetic surgery topic.

“We intend to be the ultimate information resource for cosmetic surgery patients. We will research the good, bad and ugly about cosmetic surgery and put all the information in one easy to access place.”
