Would you like to look years younger? Maybe you would like to be a bit slimmer, have a more prominent chin, or even more voluptuous? It seems many Americans would love to have some form of plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure to improve their appearance. In fact, 85 percent of adult Americans would partake of facial plastic surgery if given the opportunity.
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), which represents over 2,700 facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons around the world, recently reported on a study revealing that 80 percent of those surveyed prefer only a certified facial plastic surgeon to perform procedures on their face, neck or head.

While some procedures may be necessary for children under the age of 18, most cosmetic operations are not recommended until adulthood.

In this case, your insurance company may cover the costs of the operation! Other popular procedures noted by the study were neck surgeries, nose jobs, face-lifts, and breast enhancements. Nose jobs ranked #1 among men. The study also showed that the demand for Botox® and collagen treatments continue to rise.
