Out with the Old, In with the New!

As we start a New Year, we have an opportunity to review our experiences over the past year and look back on trends and make proposals for the future. Data from our society, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), indicates that minimally invasive cosmetic procedures jumped 8 percent to more than 9.1 million procedures in 2006. The top five minimally invasive procedures were Botulinum Toxin Type A (4.1 million), chemical peel (1.1 million) and hyaluronic acid fillers (778,000).

Body shaping procedures are among the fastest-growing procedures and are predicted to grow at an annual rate of 17.6 percent to almost 32 million by 2010, according to a 2006 report by Medical Insight. In 2005, 69 percent of these procedures were attributed to liposuction treatments.

Please contact Dr. Placik’s office to schedule your initial consultation and get started on the road to your new and improved look!
