$12 Billion Spent by Americans on Aesthetic Procedures in 2014: ASAPS Report
Looking fantastic is the innate need of a human being. However, due to aging, genetics, environmental factors, sun exposure, disease and other reasons, it can be difficult to maintain an attractive and youthful appearance for many people.

Dr. Wright Jones is an experienced and highly dedicated plastic surgeon providing a range of latest surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Dr. Jones receives patients from Atlanta, Buckhead, Stockbridge, Marietta GA, and surrounding communities.
Rising Demand for Aesthetic Surgery
The demand for aesthetic procedures has consistently risen over the last two decades with improving technologies and innovative techniques. According to the 18th annual multi-specialty data report brought out by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), spending by American women and men has increased significantly in recent years. Over $12 billion on invasive and non-invasive procedures was spent in 2013 and again in 2014.
An interesting insight that the ASAPS report of 2014 reveals is that the demand for plastic surgery as well as non-surgical aesthetic procedures is on the rise among men in a very significant way. Over the last five years, the amount spent by men on such procedures has increased by 43%. Among women, the biggest jump in demand on a year on year basis was recorded in procedures such as buttock augmentation (up by 89%), labiaplasty (up by 49%) and non-surgical fat reduction (up by 42%) in 2014.
