Although liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures obtained by patients today, the majority of plastic surgery being done overall is focused on the chest and the face. These are the areas of the body that received the most growth in plastic surgery attention by the general public in 2007 according to recently released statistics.
In terms of the face, it was primarily facelifts that were increased in 2007. In comparison with 2006 statistics, 14% more women and 16% more men opted to get facelifts. Minimally invasive facial procedures also increased to a considerably higher degree.
In terms of the chest, both men and women increased their interest in augmentation. There was an 6% increase in female breast augmentation and an 8% increase in male pec implants. But not everyone was going up in size. Breast reduction for both men and women increased from one year to the next.
The belief is that the majority of people get plastic surgery in order to present a better face to the world around them. The areas of the body that are looked at most are the ones most likely to be considered for plastic surgery work. The face is what people see first and it's undeniable that the chest is also looked at regularly.
