Either way, the reality is that plastic surgery, whether it's an elective surgery like breast augmentation and breast enlargement or something you can have done in a few minutes at your local beauty salon, like Botox ® injections to smooth out the lines around your lips can do wonders for body image and self esteem, and if you've considered having it, you are not alone. Statistics for 2007 haven't yet been released, but according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, almost 11 million procedures were performed in the United States alone in 2006.
The numbers are telling.
Breast augmentation was the most popular of the cosmetic surgical procedures, with 329,000 surgeries last year, while the most frequent reconstructive procedure was tumor removal (3.9 million in 2006), though reconstructive procedures decreased by three percent over all.
More than nine million minimally invasive procedures were performed - an increase of eight percent and included the afore-mentioned Botox ® injections as well as permanent eye makeup, and things of that ilk.
