Top 5 Plastic Surgery Procedures for Women in 2024

Top 5 Cosmetic Surgical Procedures for Women in 2024 (ASPS Data)

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), nearly 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in the U.S. by ASPS Member Surgeons in 2024. Women accounted for roughly 94% of cosmetic surgery volume—so the overall rankings strongly reflect the female experience. 

1. Liposuction

The most popular surgical procedure of the year, liposuction remains the go-to for body contouring, targeting stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms.

2. Breast augmentation

Breast implants continue to be a top choice. In 2024, implants under 250 cc gained traction, reflecting shifting preferences toward more natural proportions. 

3. Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

Tummy tucks remain extremely popular among women, especially those looking to remove excess skin and restore abdominal tone—often as part of a “mommy makeover.” 

4. Breast lift (mastopexy)

Often performed alone or in combination with augmentation or reduction, breast lifts address sagging and restore youthful breast positioning.

5. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty helps women rejuvenate their facial appearance by removing excess skin and fat around the eyelids, and remains a staple in facial plastic surgery. 

Why These Procedures Are Most Popular

Body contouring is still king: Liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast procedures dominate because they combine transformative results with increasingly natural and athletic aesthetic ideals. 

Natural-look breast enhancements: There’s a rising trend toward smaller implants or fat-transfer augmentation as patients pursue more subtle, personalized aesthetics. 

“Mommy makeovers” and post-weight-loss transformations: Many women combine breast and body procedures after pregnancy or weight loss to restore contour and confidence.

Facial refresh without extremes: Blepharoplasty continues to rise in demand, offering visible rejuvenation with minimal downtime and a more youthful expression. 

The ASPS report also highlights that body lifts (e.g. thigh or buttock lifts) grew in 2024—showing the increasing role of skin-tightening after major weight loss supported by GLP-1 medications. 

Final Thoughts

When it comes to cosmetic surgery for women in 2024, liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, breast lifts, and eyelid surgery stood out as the most sought-after procedures—based entirely on ASPS data.
