LocateADoc.com Reveals Trend: More Moms Want Tummy Tucks, Despite Record Low Birth Rate
Though the U.S. Birth Rate Has Hit a Record Low, Tummy Tucks, Typically Performed After Childbirth, Remain in High Demand
(firmenpresse) - ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/12 -- A leading medical information website for patients says, despite the record low birth rate, skyrocketing amounts of mothers want a .
"You would think that if fewer mothers are having babies, there would be fewer requests for the one procedure that restores their post pregnancy bodies. It's a striking turnabout from the CDC's statistics," said Karen Castillo of LocateADoc.com.
The National Center for Health Statistics reports that births fell 2.6 percent in 2010 and the Centers for Disease Control say the birth rate is continuing a 12-year decline. It's now at the lowest level since their national data has been available.
Castillo says the statistics on LocateADoc.com tell an interesting story in comparison. The website, that helps connect patients to doctors, heard from nearly six thousand women last year requesting a tummy tuck doctor. LocateADoc.com says those numbers are trending up, not down from years past.
A recent American Society of Plastic Surgeon's study mirrors LocateADoc.com's revelation. The ASPS says tummy tuck procedures are up 1 percent from 2009 -- which represents a growth of 112,000 surgeries in 2010. It remains one of the top five female cosmetic surgical procedures in the nation.
The trend may be partially attributed to the popularity in shows such as the "Biggest Loser" on NBC. Americans are focusing more on becoming healthier and losing weight. "Unfortunately weight loss does not always repair the saggy skin around the midsection," Castillo notes. "The tummy tuck procedure is a logical solution, because exercise can't repair weakened or torn muscles caused by stretching."
