Breast Augmentation Most Sought Plastic Surgery

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, breast augmentation has overtaken liposuction as the most sought plastic surgical procedure in the United States. Statistics released by the ASAPS show that there were 355,671 breast augmentation procedures performed in the US in 2008, while there were 341,144 liposuction procedures performed. The most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure in 2008 was Botox injections with 2,464,123 performed.

The ASAPS statistics also show that women still seek more cosmetic surgery than men by a large margin, undergoing 92 percent of all cosmetic procedures to the 8 percent undergone by men in 2008.

Breast augmentation surgically enlarges breast size using either saline or silicone gel breast implants. The procedure offers a high rate of patient satisfaction and is obviously growing in popularity.
