Breast Augmentation Is Most Popular Plastic Surgery Treatment

Breast augmentation is the #1 plastic surgery procedure according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) whose figures for 2007 show the top five surgeries to be:
  1. Breast Augmentation
  2. Liposuction
  3. Nose reshaping
  4. Eyelid surgery
  5. Tummy tuck
On the non-surgical side, Botox comes in a clear leader with a whopping 4.6 million procedures reported in 2007. Botox is followed by hyaluronic facial fillers, chemical peel, laser hair removal and microdermabrasion.

This information picked up off the blog What's New in Plastic Surgery? by Massachusetts plastic surgeon Christine Hamori, MD, who reports her own cosmetic surgery figures stack up similarly. Her number one cosmetic surgery treatment is breast augmentation and number one non-invasive cosmetic treatment is Botox as well. For more see her post and the ASPS report.
