Aesthetic procedures
Liposuction was the most common surgical procedure in both 2022 and 2021, with more than 2.3 million procedures and an increase of 21.1%.

The most popular non-surgical procedures are botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, hair removal, chemical peels and non-surgical fat reduction. Chemical peels enter the top five as a replacement for non-surgical skin tightening.
Breast augmentation remains the most common surgical procedure for women, with 2.2 million procedures and a significant increase of 29% compared to 2021. All breast procedures show notable growth year-over-year previous year, with more than 4.4 million breast procedures and an increase of 25%. .

Face and head procedures remain the most popular, with only a slight increase of 4.3% due to a slight decrease in the most common procedures: eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and lip lift/perioral procedure.
