Breast augmentation surgery is done to enlarge naturally small breasts, restore breast size and volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding, restore symmetry to the asymmetrical breasts, rebuild breasts post-surgery and treatments, make breasts appear voluminous and perkier, and correct tissue underdevelopment," Dr Debraj Shome said.
The report shows a continuing rise in aesthetic surgery with a 33.3 per cent increase over the last four years. “Both surgical and non-surgical procedures showed increases since the last survey (18.5 per cent and 19.9 per cent respectively) with a significant increase of 54.4 per cent in non-surgical procedures in the last four years,” it read.
The top five most popular surgical procedures were liposuction, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and abdominoplasty. The top five non-surgical procedures are botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, hair removal, skin tightening, and fat reduction.
Surprisingly, while breast augmentation remained the most common surgical procedure for women, with only a slight increase of +0.5 per cent in the last four years, surgery to remove implants increased by 22.6 per cent (+49.6 per cent in the last four years), and breast lifts by 31.4 per cent in the last year, mentioned the ISAPS survey.
Dr Gianluca Campiglio, Global Survey Editor and plastic surgeon in Italy noted that the “data clearly reflect the experience of recovery from the previous year’s negative impact of Covid-19 on aesthetic procedures and numbers now exceed the pre-pandemic ones”. “We noticed an interesting increase in surgical procedures related to so-called ‘body contouring’, such as liposuction, which is now ranked as the most common procedure, ahead of breast augmentation for the first time in many years, and also a similar emerging trend for abdominoplasty, thigh lift, and buttock augmentation. The lower increase in breast augmentation, and related increase in implant removals, also reflects our experience following publication of reports on BIA-ALCL in the preceding year,” she said in the press statement.
According to MayoClinic.org, liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck. Rather than being a weight loss method, liposuction is a body contouring procedure that also helps give shape.
