The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) released its 10th Consumer Attitudes Study. This is a study that takes the pulse of the nation on cosmetic surgery.
In asking 1000 Americans ages 18 and above about their attitudes and perceptions of cosmetic surgery, the survey found a continuation of a ten year trend. 62% of Americans approve of cosmetic surgery! This is an all time high and is an 8% increase from last year.
The study also found that 61% of men and 63% of women approve of cosmetic surgery. Females are 16% more likely to consider plastic surgery than men. This is consistent with the 2006 statistics just released by ASAPS which show that 92% of those who received cosmetic procedures in 2006 were women! In a related survey (see post below) the most common cosmetic surgery for women was breast augmentation- this is the first time this has happened since they started this survey. I think American women are satisfied with the beautiful results we can achieve with aesthetic breast surgery and the safety of these procedures.
As Americans learn more and more about the safety and effectiveness of cosmetic surgery, we can expect the popularity of plastic surgery to continue to grow!
