The Fastest-Growing Cosmetic Surgery Is ...

...Chin implants, but liposuction is tops overall

(NEWSER) - Americans are getting fed up with their chins, the BBC reports. They had 20,680 chin implants last year—up 71% from 2010—making the procedure the nation's fastest-growing cosmetic operation. But it still trails in popularity behind liposuction (325,332 last year), breast augmentation (316,848), abdominoplasty (149,410), eyelid surgery (147,540), and breast lift (127,054). More»

(NEWSER) - Between 30,000 and 40,000 women get breast augmentations each year in Venezuela—and President Hugo Chavez is not happy about it. On state TV this weekend, he called it “monstrous” that even poor women feel pressure to get breast lifts, and that some doctors “convince some women that if they don’t have some big bosoms, they should feel bad.” Venezuela is one of the world’s biggest markets for the surgery—billboards advertise bank loans for boob jobs; parents have been known to give their 15-year-olds breast implants as a gift; and last year, a National Assembly candidate attempted to finance his campaign by raffling off a breast lift.

Heidi Montag: Implants Were G-Cup-Size Mistake

Reality star wants breast reduction

(NEWSER) - The very last person to realize that Heidi Montag's plastic surgery binge was a mistake has seen the light. "It's heartbreaking," the reality star tells Life & Style in an interview about her G-cup implants." I can't live an everyday life." Complicating matters is the death of the perpetrator, plastic surgeon Frank Ryan, in a car crash last week . "I'm desperate to go back to normal," Montag says. "I'm downgrading and going a little smaller, to a D or a double D." More»
