Most Popular Cosmetic Surgery Procedures in 2012

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic procedures rose 5% in 2012 over 2011, with 14.6 million total cosmetic procedures (both surgical and minimally-invasive) performed in the United States.  

The top five cosmetic surgical procedures (in order) include:

• Breast Augmentation  
• Nose Reshaping
• Eyelid Surgery
• Liposuction
• Facelift

The top five minimally-invasive procedures (in order) include:

1. Botulinum Toxin Type A
2. Soft Tissue Fillers
3. Chemical Peel
4. Laser Hair Removal
5. Microdermabrasion

Facial rejuvenation procedures saw the largest increase, with facelifts, eyelid surgeries and all of the top five minimally-invasive procedures experiencing jumps from 4% to 8% over 2011. This seems to drive home the fact that more and more people want to erase the effects of time, the sun and environmental factors to look younger. Whether the reason is to better compete with younger people for jobs, relationships or for more personal reasons, cosmetic procedures appear to be making an impact.

If you’re unsatisfied with the way you look and you’ve been considering facial enhancement or body contouring, maybe it’s time to join the millions of people who have given their self-confidence a boost through cosmetic surgery.
