In 2006, nearly 11 million cosmetic surgeries were performed in the United States alone. The number of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States has increased over 50 percent since the start of the century. Nearly 12 million cosmetic surgeries were performed in 2007, with the five most common being breast augmentation, liposuction, nasal surgery, eyelid surgery and abdominoplasty. The increased use of cosmetic surgery crosses racial and ethnic lines in the U.S., with increases seen among African-Americans and Hispanic Americans as well as Caucasian Americans. In Europe, the second largest market for cosmetic procedures, cosmetic surgery is a $2.2 billion business.^[7]

The most prevalent aesthetic/cosmetic procedures include:

• Abdominoplasty (“tummy tuck”): reshaping and firming of the abdomen
• Blepharoplasty (“eyelid surgery”): reshaping of the eyelids or the application of permanent eyeliner, including Asian blepharoplasty
• Mammoplasty:
  • Breast augmentations (“breast implant” or “boob job”): augmentation of the breasts by means of fat grafting, saline, or silicone gel prosthetics, which was initially performed to women with micromastia
  • Reduction mammoplasty (“breast reduction”): removal of skin and glandular tissue, which is done to reduce back and shoulder pain in women with gigantomastia and/or for psychological benefit men with gynecomastia
  • Mastopexy (“breast lift”): Lifting or reshaping of breasts to make them less saggy, often after weight loss (after a pregnancy, for example). It involves removal of breast skin as opposed to glandular tissue or scarless Serdev suture technique ^[8]
• Buttock augmentation (“butt implant”): enhancement of the buttocks using silicone implants or fat grafting and transfer from other areas of the body
  • Buttock lift (“Brazilian butt lift”): lifting, projection, and tightening of the buttocks using the scarless Serdev suture technique without implants^[9]
• Chemical peel: minimizing the appearance of acne, chicken pox, and other scars as well as wrinkles (depending on concentration and type of agent used, except for deep furrows), solar lentigines (age spots, freckles), and photodamage in general. Chemical peels commonly involve carbolic acid (Phenol), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), glycolic acid (AHA), or salicylic acid (BHA) as the active agent.
• Labiaplasty: surgical reduction and reshaping of the labia
• Rhinoplasty (“nose job”): reshaping of the nose
• Otoplasty (“ear surgery”): reshaping of the ear, most often done by pinning the ear closer to the head
• Rhytidectomy (“face lift”): removal of wrinkles and signs of aging from the face
  • Browplasty (“brow lift” or “forehead lift”): higher brow position by surgical or scarless Serdev suture
  • Midface lift (“cheek lift”): tightening of the cheeks
• Suction-assisted lipectomy (“liposuction”): removal of fat from the body
• Chin augmentation (“chin implant”): augmentation of the chin with an implant, usually silicone, by sliding genioplasty of the jawbone or by suture of the soft tissue
• Cheek augmentation (“cheek implant”): implants to the cheek
• Fillers injections: collagen, fat, and other tissue filler injections, such as hyaluronic acid
• Laser skin resurfacing
• Cryolipolysis experimental treatment in which subcutaneous fat cells are induced into apoptosis by means of suction cup isolation and cooling
