According to CNN and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “Nearly 11 million cosmetic plastic surgery operations were performed in the United States in 2006, up by 7 percent from 2005, the group said.

The most popular cosmetic choice was breast augmentation, with 329,000 reported in 2006. This is the first time “breast jobs” have passed nose reshaping surgery, performed on 307,000 people in 2006.

Liposuction followed in a close third place, with 302,000 procedures.”

Surprising?  Not at all.  It has become common for a woman to have breast implants or a lift procedure.  I only expect this number to increase over the next few years as the industry evolves, procedures are improved, and costs are reduced.

Are you surprised by these stats?
