Aesthetic and reconstructive surgery has been undergoing a transformation over the past ten years. A wide range of forces are changing the dynamics of clinical practice and the market for products used. The drivers and limiters behind this have been and, to some degree, will continue to be:

  • Aesthetic or purely cosmetic procedures are growing among all demographics (male/female, old/young).
  • The economic hits of the 2008 recession were severe, especially for aesthetics, but have begun to be replaced by new procedure volumes.
  • Aesthetics have become a more complex clinical practice employing surgery, a wide range of implant types and materials, topicals and physician driven procedures.
  • Reconstructive medicine has advanced through developments in autologous tissue engineering, extracellular matrices, and other technologies that address bone defects and other orthomusucloskeletal problems.
  • The advances in reconstructive medicine have begun to trickle-down to aesthetic procedures, stimulating increasingly volume of cosmetic procedures paid out-of-pocket.

There has been a series of shifts in aesthetics/reconstruction procedure volumes commensurate with these and other forces. The result is a wide swing in procedure volumes over the past decade, much of which is expected to continue. See the table below.

Other forces behind transformation in aesthetics and reconstruction are fundamental advances in cell biology, continued progress in biomaterials development, advances in wound sealants, glues and wound closure, and others.

I serve the interests of medical technology company decision-makers, venture-capitalists, and others with interests in medtech producing worldwide analyses of medical technology markets for my audience of mostly medical technology companies (but also rapidly growing audience of biotech, VC, and other healthcare decision-makers). I have a small staff and go to my industry insiders (or find new ones as needed) to produce detailed, reality-grounded analyses of current and potential markets and opportunities. I am principally interested in those core clinical applications served by medical devices, which are expanding to include biomaterials, drug-device hybrids and other non-device technologies either competing head-on with devices or being integrated with devices in product development. The effort and pain of making every analysis global in scope is rewarded by my audience's loyalty, since in the vast majority of cases they too have global scope in their businesses.Specialties: Business analysis through syndicated reports, and select custom engagements, on medical technology applications and markets in general/abdominal/thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, patient monitoring/management, wound management, cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, nanotechnology, and others.
