Abstract

The analysis results indicate plastic surgery is changing as new cosmetic minimally invasive procedures become more popular. Surgeons are migrating away from traditional treatments and sites of care, to take advantage of the new treatments and the increasing popularity and acceptance of cosmetic treatments. Insurance issues are driving surgeons away from reconstructive procedures and segments are beginning to evolve based on the type of procedures a surgeon performs. There are significant growth opportunities for both surgeons and manufacturers of plastic surgery products.

The results feature a summary of surgeons’ self-reported procedures by category type (non-invasive, minimally invasive, invasive, cosmetic, and reconstructive) and site of care. Also included is a summary of patient characteristics and trends in converting consultations into procedures.

The information has applicability to sales, advertising, training, professional education, forecasting and other business functions.

Methodology and Purpose of this Research

100 American Medical Association (AMA) board certified plastic surgeons were randomly selected from a list of 6300 surgeons to participate in a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) featured on the internet. Upon completion of the SAQ, 20 of the participants were selected to participate in a follow-up depth interview conducted via the telephone.

The purpose of the study is to provide information on surgical practice characteristics, procedures performed and patient characteristics to be used at face value, as well as in conjunction with other data to segment the market.
