Cosmetic surgery, also known as aesthetic surgery, is an elective operation that involves improving a person’s appearance. Such operations include liposuction, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, and rhytidectomy, also known as a facelift. The most popular surgical cosmetic procedure worldwide in 2020 was breast augmentation, followed by liposuction and eyelid surgery. The most popular nonsurgical procedures included botulinum toxin, or botox, hyaluronic acid, hair removal, and nonsurgical fat reduction.

In 2020, the United States registered the highest number of cosmetic procedures worldwide, with nearly four million such operations. The number of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S. has grown over the last decade, from around 1.6 million procedures in 1997 to over 5.5 million in 2020. Nonsurgical operations represent nearly three-quarters of all procedures.
