Cosmetic surgery procedures to exceed 55 million in 2015, ASPS study predicts
Date:6/24/2008

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. More than 55 million cosmetic surgery procedures will be performed in 2015, predicts a recent study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). This more than quadruples the number of procedures performed in 2005, the study noted.

They have the training necessary to accurately assess your individual needs and map health and beauty goals for your entire lifetime."

In the study, the authors analyzed annual ASPS National Clearinghouse of Plastic Surgery statistics from 1992 2005. They also analyzed the ability of econ
