The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has released the 2023 ASPS Procedural Statistics, which showed a 5 percent rise in plastic surgeries and a 7 percent rise in minimally invasive procedures compared to the previous year.
Each generation has its unique quirks. In some regard, we are all products of the time in which we grew up, and those differences can significantly impact our perception of the world today and how we approach everything from relationships to work and, yes, even plastic surgery.
For patients who desire a flatter, more toned tummy and who find that diet and exercise alone cannot provide the results they desire, a tummy tuck may be an appropriate option. Drains after surgery are the typical method used, but drainless surgery is something to consider.
"I think it's very important to have a conversation. Really be honest about what your goals are and what you're looking for, and sometimes give a little bit of a history of why you started thinking about a procedure or a concern you're having that you don't know how it would be fixed, but really get into the background of what is the issue that you are bringing to your surgeon that you're looking for help with."
ASPS has published a new, free e-book as part of "The Care You Deserve" campaign to help guide those considering a cosmetic procedure with accurate, unbiased information about aesthetic treatments and procedures.
