Cosmetic Surgery Procedures & Costs
Surgical Procedures
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2007 11.7 million people in the US had a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, with the most popular procedures sought by patients being breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), eyelid surgery, and tummy tuck. Plastic surgery now attracts people from all walks of life, as a result of the development of safer, more refined, less invasive procedures; shorter recovery times; more natural results; and the increase in outpatient facilities for patients who prefer to avoid a hospital setting.
