Plastic surgery is currently undergoing a dynamic transition. Surgeons are moving their practices away from reconstructive procedures and increasing their cosmetic cases. Increasing insurance difficulties for reconstructive procedures, coupled with technological advancements and cultural acceptance of cosmetic procedures, are driving this change.

There are currently a number of leading companies that dominate the various product categories within plastic surgery. In addition to being used by a majority of surgeons, these companies also have the highest satisfaction, highest loyalty and clearly defined positions within plastic surgery.

The results indicate plastic surgery is changing as new cosmetic minimally invasive procedures become more popular. Surgeons are migrating away from traditional treatments and sites of care, to take advantage of the new treatments and the increasing popularity and acceptance of cosmetic treatments. Insurance issues are driving surgeons away from reconstructive procedures and segments are beginning to evolve based on the type of procedures a surgeon performs. There are significant growth opportunities for both surgeons and manufacturers of plastic surgery products.
