Last week The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) released its annual Consumer Attitudes Study, which finds the nation's approval of cosmetic surgery to be at an all time high.

As reported in MedicalNewsToday.com, "According to the February 2007 report of 1000 Americans aged 18 and above, 62% of respondents are in favor of cosmetic surgery. This marks an 8% increase from 2006, and narrowly edges out the 61.8% approval rate in 2001, making it the highest reported approval rating since the survey was implemented."

The statistics released by the ASAPS also reveal that nearly 11.5 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed in the United States last year, a 1 percent increase from 2005, and a 446 percent since the collection of the statistics first began in 1997. The most popular surgical procedure was liposuction. Botox was the most popular nonsurgical procedure.
