Fewer People Getting Plastic Surgery During Recession

By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti

A new study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has found that the number of plastic surgery procedures is down by 12% since 2007. Many attribute this drop to the recession and people choosing not to have the often voluntary procedures to save money and take less time off of work.

Despite this drop, there is still a demand for these procedures and noninvasive treatments such as chemical peels and Botox have increased in popularity.
