BAAPS President Marc Pacifico said:
“The 2022 BAAPS audit shows that demand for cosmetic surgery has more than bounced back post pandemic. Economic uncertainty and a decrease in overall consumer spending does not seem to the deterring patients from having cosmetic surgery. People are choosing to spend on treatments with a proven track-record of safety and which deliver reliable, long-lasting, and natural results.” See them here.
London 28 February 2021 - The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons releases 2020/21 Audit figures.
Rajiv Grover, "The figures from the Audit of aesthetic procedures performed by BAAPS surgeons from 2020 – 2021 show a very significant fall – greater than any year in the past 18 years. This is hardly surprising as the audit year covers the height of the Covid Pandemic from soon after the first lockdown for the following 12 months. BAAPS Surgeons were wisely advising patients against elective surgery during this time. Additionally many private hospitals were assisting the NHS with their facilities to help with emergency and urgent medical need rather than elective surgery as were many of the BAAPS surgeons themselves. This is reflected in the reduced numbers of patients actually undergoing surgery.” See them here.
London, 15 March 2021 - The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons releases 2019/20 Audit figures. See them here.

London, UK – 3 February 2014 – The economy appears buoyant once more as austerity gives way to augmentation, with an impressive double-digit rise in all cosmetic procedures, a trend not seen since the heady pre-recession days of 2008.

London, UK – 28 January 2013 – Despite a gruelling ‘double-dip’ recession, a breast implant scandal and an ongoing government enquiry into the sector, Britons were able to maintain a poker face as demand for anti-ageing procedures soared. Audit figures from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (www.baaps.org.uk) today reveal that although the number of overall procedures remained static and barely changed at all over the last year, facial rejuvenation treatments in particular proved the nation's favourites with eyelid surgery, fat transfer, brow and face lifts all experiencing a double-digit rise.
