Ambulatory surgery centers offer outpatient surgical procedures, promoting affordable, specialized care with quicker recovery periods compared to conventional hospitals. For example, data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, an international professional organization based in the US, indicates that around 14.9 million surgical and 18.8 million non-surgical treatments were performed globally by plastic surgeons in 2022, marking an 11.2% overall increase from September 2023. Consequently, the surge in surgical procedures is catalyzing the growth of the ambulatory surgery center market.
