Interesting Stats

These are interesting facts on plastic surgery that I gathered. I found especially astounding the last statistic!

• Racial and ethnic minorities as last year, had approximately 20 percent of all cosmetic procedures; Hispanics: 9 percent, African-Americans: 6 percent, Asians: 4 percent, all other non-Caucasians: 1.3 percent.


• The majority of cosmetic procedures were performed in an office facility, 48 percent, with 28 percent performed in a free-standing surgi-center and 24 percent performed in a hospital.


• 
  Americans spent approximately $12.4 billion on cosmetic procedures last year.
