Sorry, breasts, but you are no longer best. So says a recent survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. (I don't know about you, but I figure any group with that many multiple-syllable words in its name must know what it's talking about.) In August, ISAPS released its inaugural account of which cosmetic procedures were performed the most across the globe. The survey included information from 25 countries. (I'll give you one guess as to which nation had the most tweaked, needled and "lifted" population. Hint: It begins with United and ends with States.) It's no real surprise that Americans topped the list of countries. What did shock some were the numbers associated with breast augmentation. Once considered the most-sought-after plastic surgery in the world, its title has been literally sucked up by a cannula-wielding colleague. Liposuction, with a healthy 18.8 percent of all procedures across the globe, surpassed breast augmentation by nearly 2 percent in 2009. Here's the official tally for the top five surgical procedures as determined by ISAPS: liposuction, 18.8 percent breast augmentation, 17 percent eyelid surgery, 13.5 percent nose surgery, 9.4 percent tummy tuck, 7.3 percent Why has liposuction become so popular? The survey didn't say. (I guess ISAPS and its impressive moniker don't know everything.) The real question is, will breast augmentation someday regain its crown? Or will liposuction continue to strengthen its hold? Will America be usurped as the Plastic Surgery Capital of the World? Will Heidi Montag ever let America be usurped as the Plastic Surgery Capital of the World? Only time, and the next international survey, will tell.
