Too Much plastic surgery!

The plastic surgery industry is currently experiencing unprecedented growth. In the United States alone, approximately 8.7 million plastic surgery procedures were performed. This was a 33% increase from 2002, and a 293% increase from 1997. Of the plastic surgery procedures performed in 2003, 80% were minimally invasive non-surgical procedures (an increase of 43% from 2002), and 20% were surgical procedures (an increase of 5% from 2002). The top five cosmetic surgery procedures in 2003 were nose reshaping, liposuction, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, and facelift. In the past ten years, the number of reconstructive plastic surgery patients has increased 34 percent. Liposuction procedures quadrupled between 1992 and 2002.
