The American Society of Plastic
Surgeons
According to the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 8.7
million cosmetic surgery procedures were done in
2003.
The number of
cosmetic surgery procedures is rising. These are the top
five procedures in 2003:
- Liposuction
- Breast augmentation
- Nose
reshaping
- Eyelid surgery
- Facelift
As the
demand grows for cosmetic surgery, consumers must realize that
all cosmetic procedures―even ones that may seem simple―carry
risks.
If you are
thinking about having cosmetic surgery, become an informed
consumer about the procedure and its risks.
Select a
qualified doctor. Have realistic expectations about the results
and know the benefits and limitations of cosmetic
surgery.
