People wonder how many other people are having cosmetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. After all, Time Magazine featured the subject in its
June 29 cover story, just before the 2014 statistics from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) were released.
The totals? Let’s just say it is as if the entire population of Australia had a little something done, and you’d still have a few Botox sessions and tummy tucks left over! That’s over 20 million procedures! It appears Dr. Orseck’s patients are in good company indeed.
Here’s a breakdown of the 2014 cosmetic procedure numbers.
