In addition, some 17.5 million reconstructive procedures were also performed in 2015, up nearly three percent.
“International economic statistics are a good co-indicator for tracking medical tourists” said Thai Medical Vacation Vice President Harrison O’Conner. "For the sixth consecutive year, we have tracked international statistics to show non-surgical cosmetic surgery requests outnumber surgical procedures, while traditional plastic surgeries grow but at a much slower pace. This could be due attributed to financing abilities of a younger demographics that we encounter. Younger people also generally do not require surgical alternations. Older patients however still request surgical options over newer non-surgical options such as the stem cell facelift."
Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Surgeries increased by nearly 8.4 percent, with more than 52.6 million procedures in 2015. The five most request minimally invasive surgeries last year were:

• Nose reshaping (3.1 million procedures, up 3.5 percent)
• Eyelid surgeries (2.4 million procedures, up 4 percent)
