According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 9.2 million cosmetic procedures (both surgical and minimally-invasive) were performed in 2011 in the United States.

Women made up the majority of the cosmetic procedures, comprising 91% of the total. This represents a 208% increase since 1997.

As 2012 comes to a close, it will be interesting to watch how the cosmetic surgery trends changed over the past year. While the percentages tend to rise and fall over the years, there is no question that cosmetic surgery is here to stay, and the demand for body enhancing procedures will continue.
