The two main kinds of plastic surgery are cosmetic and reconstructive. Cosmetic operations include face & head operations, breast operations, and body & limb operations. Reconstructive operations, on the other side, include breast reconstruction, treatment of congenital deformities, tissue extension, and others. Different kinds of tools such as scissors, dissectors, chisels, awls, forceps, needles carriers, clamps, graspers and electrosurgical tools are used in plastic operations.

The report provides analysis of global Plastic Surgery Instruments market for the period 2015-2026, wherein 2019 to 2026 is the forecast period and 2018 is considered as the base year. 

Market Insights

The market is primarily driven by increasing adoption of minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures coupled with aging population.

Plastic surgeries are performed to restore the function of tissues and improve the appearance of the body in fields such as skin, hand, musculoskeletal and torso. Development of minimally invasive surgeries or less invasive surgeries has led to an increase in the number of surgeries being performed each year. In 2015, 15.9 million minimally invasive cosmetic surgeries have been performed in the USA, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In fact, an rise in road accidents, aging populations and health spending in emerging economies is probable to boost plastic operations during the forecast period. These variables are expected to have a positive effect on generating income. As a result of females, the demand for cosmetic treatments is increasing worldwide, representing over 86% of cosmetic clients. Cosmetic operation focuses on improving the body, while plastic intervention reconstructs harmed tissue induced by burns or trauma. Breast enlargement (silicone implants), liposuction, eyelid operation, abdominoplasty and breast raise are the most prevalent processes for females.

Another driver is the increase in the amount of cosmetic procedures involving minimally invasive use of new techniques, such as laser to extract the exterior layer of the skin. Laser surgery enables to improve good lines, wrinkles, crow feet and shrubbing of the forehead. In addition, eyelift surgery is one of the most popular processes demanded by both males and females.

According to a paper released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Frontline Medical Communications, Inc. in 2016, some 15 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were conducted. Other cosmetic procedures that are minimally invasive include onabotulinumtoxinA, soft tissue fillers, chemical peel and microdermabrasion.

In addition, the number of men with plastic surgeries is noticeably higher. However, plastic surgery always involves a danger. Those with a history of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases are more at danger of heart arrest or blood clots in the lung and feet. These complications after surgery may prevent growth over the forecast period.

Product Outlook

The biggest proportion of handheld surgical instruments was in 2018. The sector is anticipated to expand in the forecast period at 9.1 percent CAGR. Handheld surgical tools can be classified as forceps, retractors, graspers, supplementary tools, cutter tools, lifts, chisels, cannulas, and sutures. Electrosurgical devices are split into monopolistic and bipolar devices.

Forceps had the biggest share in the handheld surgical instruments section and grew at a CAGR of 7.7 percent over the forecast period. The market is driven by a greater understanding of multiple surgical procedures, increased numbers of plastic operations and technological advances. Furthermore, monopolar tools dominated the section with more than 50 percent share of electrosurgical tools in 2018. Increased plastic surgery, an increasing number of plastic surgeons and advanced technology are considerations that stimulate development.

Procedure Stance

In 2018, more than 1.8 million surgeries were performed in the USA, with breast augmentation, liposuction, and eyelid and tummy tuck surgeries most commonly, according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Signs of aging such as wrinkles, skin absence and black spots begin to appear between the ages of 25 and 30 and become more prominent between the ages of 30 and 65. In addition, minimally invasive cosmetic processes in the United States have increased by 200 percent since 2000. The use of surgical instruments is the most minimally invasive procedure, thus stimulating market growth. In 2018, face and head processes represented the largest market share. This can be ascribed to the worldwide existence of big geriatric populations, the demand for plastic operations among adolescents and the great impact of the social media.

Regional Stance

North America dominated the industry in 2018 and is anticipated to remain in the forecast period. Favorable reimbursement strategies, the involvement of important stakeholders and increasing the amount of public projects, offering access to sophisticated equipment and instruction for physicians are important variables contributing to this development. The Operating Department at Massachusetts General Hospital has introduced the global surgery Initiative in 2015 to assist build global alliances and improve medical technology for the efficient conduct of surgery.

Asia Pacific is expected to develop at the highest rate during the forecast period as investment in the region increases. The main contributing nations in Asia-Pacific are Japan, China, India, Australia and South Korea. Additional variables are expected in the forecasted development of government projects to integrate improved reimbursement measures and increase consciousness of reconstructive or plastic surgeries.
