Eyelid surgery continues to be one of the top cosmetic procedures performed in the US, according to recently released data. Eyelid surgery, also called "blepharoplasty," can rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes and your entire face by removing puffy, sagging upper and lower eyelid skin.
Each year, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons releases annual statistics collected from the databases of their member surgeons and from surveys sent to board-certified physicians around the country. These statistics provide unique insight into changes in the cosmetic surgery industry over time.
The ASPS just recently released statistics for cosmetic procedures performed in 2014. Within the report is the list of Top 5 cosmetic surgical procedures. Eyelid surgery is number 4 on the list. Facelift is in the number 5 spot, with breast augmentation, nose reshaping and liposuction in spots 1, 2 and 3 respectively. These surgeries are in the top 5 because they were the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries in 2014.
