Nose tuck: 730, 287 procedures
Rhinoplasty (most commonly known as a nose job) was performed a total of 730,287 times, which represents 7.6% of all procedures performed worldwide related to plastic surgery. Patients who wish to remove a lump or bulge from their nose, narrow their nostrils or give a more aesthetic shape to the nose. Although the procedure may be cosmetic, it may also improve your breathing and quality of life.
Tummy tuck: 758,590 procedures
With a total of 758,590 procedures performed, this represents 7.5% of all plastic surgeries performed around the world. This procedure removes excess fat and sagging skin in the region between the belly button and the groin, and it is recommended on patients who are struggling with these conditions and wish to remove them. A tummy tuck may correct sagging skin which may be present due to sudden weight loss or pregnancy. It may also work to remove scars from previous surgeries, which are often aesthetically unpleasing.
Blepharoplasty: 1,264,702 surgeries
Blepharoplasty (the technical name for eyelid surgery), landed in third place among the most performed surgeries in the world, it represents a total of 13.1% of all plastic surgeries performed worldwide, through our investigation process. There is a bit of a strange fact regarding this cosmetic procedure, if you only take into account male patients, the eyelid surgery would be the number one procedure among males. This procedure is sought out mostly by patients over 30, who show signs of aging in their eyes, swelling of the bags under their eyes and sagging. In case you wish to undergo this procedure, then we recommend you visit Dr. Daniel Camacho Melo, who specializes in this type of Tijuana Plastic Surgery.
Lipoaspiration: 1,394,588 performed
This procedure holds second place in the world ranking, it represents 14.5% of all surgical interventions. It is important to mention that contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not a recommended weight loss procedure, but for reshaping the body´s silhouette, that´s why patients need to be within or near their ideal weight before undergoing this operation. If you´re interested in this procedure, we recommend you check out our website, there you will find the best plastic surgeon in México.
Breast augmentation 1,488,992 procedures
Brest augmentation procedure is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world, it alone accounts for 15.4% total worldwide. The records include both cosmetic surgeries whose objective is to add more volume to the breast and reconstructive surgeries, for patients who went through mastectomies (partial or total breast removal). Even though silicone prosthesis is the most well-known ones, the total number includes the ones performed with saline solution (64,674) and fat transfer breast augmentation (113,189) either way, these number do not add up to the total silicone prosthesis, which was of 1,311,129. It is important to add, this plastic surgery in México is one of the most popular in the country due to the excellent quality offered.
Finally, another critical factor to point out is that the numbers released by ISAPS are about the patient’s gender: while men barely make up to 14.4% total surgeries (3 million), women represent around 85% (18 million).
