A year later all removed fat had returned, just not to where doctors had suctioned it from. Fat was redistributed upstairs, mostly in the upper abdomen but also around the shoulders and triceps, said study author Robert H. Eckel, MD. The surprising result wasn’t dependent on the surgeon’s skill, say obesity researchers, but on basic biology: The body “defends” its fat; every time a fat cell dies, another is formed to take its place.

Last year Americans spent $6.6 billion on breast implants, liposuction and tummy tucks ” a 9 percent increase over 2009. Meanwhile, demand for cheaper, nonsurgical procedures fell 9 percent.
“No doubt a big part of the rebound is the economic recovery,” said Felmont Eaves III, president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in Garden Grove, Calif., which published the national survey of 938 physicians.
Utah’s major hospital chains, including Intermountain Healthcare, University of Utah health centers and MountainStar, report no significant change in any types of surgeries. But plastic surgeons in the state say they’re seeing an upswing.

The beauty industry is especially susceptible to swings in fortune, and last year’s rebound ” 1.6 million cosmetic surgeries in all ” may bode well for consumer confidence. A 2009 study by The Cleveland Clinic charted a direct correlation between reconstructive surgeries and three major U.S. stock market indexes, the Dow, SP 500 and NASDAQ.
And there’s been speculation nationally that out-of-work, middle-aged men and women are going under the knife to remake themselves into attractive job prospects.
Eaves believes that’s “an urban myth” and attributes consumer interest to pent-up demand. “In the last 15 years I’ve only had one or two patients mention work as a motivating factor, although it may be a consideration for some,” he said.
Practitioners in Utah agree and say people put off desired surgeries during the recession.
Face-lifts surged 35 percent nationally last year, driven in part by more interest from men. It is one of the more costly procedures, averaging $6,629 nationally for just the surgeon fees.
Topping the list for men is liposuction, though the procedure has been waning in popularity for some time.
“That could be because we’re doing less lipo as nonsurgeons get into the business,” said plastic surgeon Angela Keen, in Cottonwood Heights.

The procedure surpassed liposuction in popularity for women in 2008 and gained just 2 percent in 2010, says ASAPS.
The report underestimates nonsurgical treatments, because ASAPS polled only plastic surgeons, dermatologists and head and neck surgeons.
