Cosmetic Surgery Stories
Cosmetic Surgery on the Rise in the Philippines
Cosmetic surgery has now becoming a lifestyle. In many parts of the globe, the rate of cosmetic surgery procedures being performed continues to rise. In a recent survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery or AACS, it came out the most famous cosmetic surgery procedures are eyelid surgery, tummy tuck and rhinoplasty or nose surgery which had significant increase in the last five years.
Together with other doctors in AACS, most surgeons have also seen an invasion in patients. Due to the various surgical and non-surgical procedures available, more and more people are looking for the best surgeon who can perform their chosen procedures with care and proper precision. By combining a surgical procedure with a non-invasive treatment, patients have the ability to fulfil their desired goal in just one setting.
Cosmetic surgery has undergone a long story that continues to evolve up to this day. Some techniques where first developed by plastic surgeons in order to repair facial deformities caused by World War II. The massive war of the 20th century resulted in many deformities which greatly accelerated the advancement of plastic surgery and quickly became the starting point for cosmetic surgery.
And now, statistics shows how cosmetic surgery has invaded the new era. According to American Society of plastic Surgeons, there were a total of 347,524 breast augmentation procedures performed in 2007. This alone, represents 64% increase over the number of procedures performed in the year 2000. The second most commonly performed procedure was liposuction with 301,882, followed by nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) at 284,960, eyelid surgery at 240,660, and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) at 148,410.
Some people believe that the continuing increase in cosmetic surgery procedures has been in part to the limitless amount of plastic surgery information available on the Internet. However, you should always consult with a board certified cosmetic surgeon to make sure any information you come across on the Internet is accurate.
