NOTICE: Change to ASAPS’ Annual Statistics Survey Methodology

ASAPS opted to change its survey methodology in 2018, which is why there are apparent differences between prior reports and ASAPS’ latest report for the 2017 calendar year. The statistics now only include board-certified plastic surgeons, whereas prior surveys also included dermatologists and otolaryngologists. The Board opted to remove the other specialties in order to:

• Best represent the specialty of plastic surgery to media, industry and board-certified plastic surgeons.
• Put forth our specialty’s actual numbers in terms of procedures performed, etc.  (It was suspected that including dermatologists and otolaryngologists deflated the surgical numbers and inflated the nonsurgical numbers). Both proved true and certain surgical procedures believed to have been on the decline or leveling out, are on the rise, (e.g. facelifts which increased by 22% last year).
• Differentiate us from other organizations conducting similar, if not nearly identical surveys.

If you have any questions about the statistics, please contact Sarah Lilburn in the communications office: (562) 799-2356 – sarah@surgery.org

Since 1997, ASAPS, working with an independent research firm, has been compiling data for procedures performed on an annual basis. A paper-based and online questionnaire are made available to approximately 30,000 board-certified physicians. Data is obtained from approximately 750 - 850 of those physicians per year and final figures are projected to reflect nationwide statistics. Though confidence intervals change by procedure, depending on the grouping's sample size and the response variance, the overall survey portion of this research has a standard error of +/- 3.56% at a 95% level of confidence. The data includes complete charts with national totals, percentage of change, gender distribution, age distribution, national average fees, economic regional and ethnic information.

Society of Plastic Surgical Skin Care Specialists (SPSSCS) – Practice Profile Survey (2008, 2009, 2010)  In 1994, a group of renowned plastic surgeons, all members of ASAPS, recognized the need to provide an educational forum for the emerging specialty of plastic surgical skin care. The SPSSCS was created from this vision and now serves as the professional organization to promote and educate plastic surgical skin care professionals worldwide.  The Practice Profile Survey was conducted in order to quantify the characteristics and pay structures of the Society’s current and recent membership and to determine a variety of important issues facing the plastic surgical skin care practice and the Industry.
