More and more people are taking advantage of new medical options and technological advancements to look their best. The amount of people who undergo some form of cosmetic plastic surgery increases substantially every year, rising nearly 50% since the year 2000. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 11 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2006 at a price tag of $11.5 billion.

At an impressive 4.1 million procedures in 2006, Botox is by far the top cosmetic procedure. It is the incredible popularity of Botox and other non-surgical medical treatments which accounts for the vast majority of all cosmetic procedures. Among the other top non-surgical cosmetic procedures are chemical peels, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, and hyaluronic acid (Restylane).

While the medical cosmetic treatments are considerably more popular than the surgical procedures, there are still over a million surgical cosmetic procedures performed each year. The number one surgical procedure was breast augmentation, the first time is has topped the list in over fifteen years. Other top surgical cosmetic procedures include nose reshaping (rhinoplasty), liposuction, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
