ASAPS, working with an independent research fi rm, compiled the national data for procedures performed 2012-2017. A paper-based questionnaire was mailed to 6,500 board-certifi ed plastic surgeons. An online version of the questionnaire was also available. A total of 291 board-certifi ed plastic surgeons returned questionnaires, of which 26 were retired or otherwise inactive during 2017. While surveys were distributed to all domestic, board-certifi ed plastic surgeons, the results may refl ect activities of surgeons who primarily conduct aesthetic surgical procedures.
