Have you had plastic surgery? Have you considered it? You are certainly not alone.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 11.5 million surgical and non-surgical procedures were performed during the year 2006 in the United States alone.

Here are the top five of each type of method, surgical and non-surgical.

1. Liposuction – 403,684
2. Breast augmentation – 383,886
3. Eyelid surgery – 209,999
4. Abdominoplasty – 172,457
5. Breast Reduction – 145,822

Cosmetic Non-Surgical Procedures

1. Botox – 3.1 million
2. Hyaluronic Acid – such as Hylaform, Restylane – 1.5 million
3. Laser hair removal – 1.4 million
4. Microdermabrasion – 993,071
5. Laser Skin Resurfacing – 556,172

I will be on the lookout for the statistics for 2007 when they are published next year. I wonder if the numbers will rise.
