Plastic surgery on the rise again

Cosmetic surgery is on the rise AGAIN (and breast enlargements remain the most popular)

American women are showing no signs of ending their love affair with cosmetic surgery.
From Botox to breast enlargement operations, more women than ever before have gone under the knife.
Figures released from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed the number of procedures rose five per cent from 2011 to 2012.

SO WHAT ARE AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR COSMETIC PROCEDURES?
The five most popular surgical procedures
Breast augmentation
Rhinoplasty
Liposuction
Eyelid surgery
Facelift
The five most popular minimally-invasive procedures
Botox
Soft tissue fillet
Chemical peel
Laser hair removal
Microdermabrasion

Nose reshaping is the second most popular operation with 246,000 people opting for the surgery followed by Liposuction with 202,000 people going under the knife.
Eyelid surgery is the fourth most popular with a face-lift the next favorite.
Botox is the most popular of all the non invasive procedures carried out at spas and clinics across the U.S.

Soft tissue fillers and chemical peels, all aimed at giving women a clearer, fresher look, are rated as the next most popular choice.

Non-invasive procedures like Botox, a toxin that freezes face muscles to give women a non wrinkled look, helped drive up the number of procedures registered by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

More than six million procedures were carried out last year, a rise of six per cent on 2011.

'For the third consecutive year, the overall growth in cosmetic surgery continues to be driven by a significant rise in minimally invasive procedures, while surgical procedures remain relatively stable,' ASPS President Gregory Evans said.

The ASPS said it was not just women seeking the expert help of plastic surgeons.
Male breast reduction (gynecomastia) jumped 5per cent. Close to 21,000 procedures were done.

Andrew Da Lio, of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, said the higher number may reflect increased levels of obesity and more social acceptance of men having plastic surgery.

having spent some time in the states,it would make no difference to me if the had any type of cosmetic work done,their whiney voices are more than enough for me to give them a miss.

- Glenn Quagmire : I love my breasts! Sorry to all of you D cups, but yes, us perky B cups don't have to worry about gravity like you do. I have a friend who enhanced herself to a D cup, and after 4 years ALREADY has to get her implants redone. Yes, even implants are subject gravity!

I have so many friends who've had breast implants. It's so norm now, and that's scary to me. What's next???

If breasts are going to be large, then they should be enhanced cosmetically...nobody likes a pair of floppers. - Mike , Texas, for one would like to know the statistics for men having "long ball" addressed and corrected.

The world expects too much from women. You have to be educated, work, raise children, run a household - all while looking like a blow up doll. Equality isn't so equal (in my opinion)

Surgically-enhanced breast are awful as all women have the same breasts morphology : Bumpers pointing sideways....Berck.......:-(

Woman don't know that maybe half of men don't even like big ones. I see them and it just reminds me of a fat substitute teacher.
