Facelift

I gave zee bloggity a makeover! Honestly, I was getting really tired of the old layout; it was all mismatched and very unoriginal, etc., etc., etc. For your reading pleasure, here are some cosmetic surgery fun-facts (source):
  • The top 5 cosmetic surgery procedures for 2010, with number completed, are as follows:
    • Breast augmentation (318,123) -- I assume these are mostly women...
    • Liposuction (289,016)
    • Eyelid surgery (152,123)
    • Abdominoplasty (144,929)
    • Breast Reduction (138,152)
  • Almost 1,000,000 people had a laser hair removal procedure in 2010. That is a lot of hair being removed.
  • "Americans spent nearly $10.7 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2010. Of that total almost $6.6 billion was spent on surgical procedures; $1.9 billion was spent on injectable procedures; $1.8 billion was spent on skin rejuvenation procedures; and almost $500 million was spent on other nonsurgical procedures including laser hair removal and laser treatment of leg veins."
  • White people are the leading majority in plastic surgery procedures (81%), followed closely by Hispanics at 8%.
  • Only 19% of these cosmetic procedures occurred in a hospital. 56% of patients went to a private office, and the other 24% went to a free-standing surgicenter. That's a lot of sketchy surgery going on!
Enjoy the new layout and keep all of your future cosmetic procedures classy!
