Liposuction - The #1 Surgery For Americans?
Liposuction has become the number one surgical procedure performed in the United States of America.
Correction: the number one cosmetic surgery, that is! Getting a Liposuction treatment is becoming shockingly common, and with the amount of time it takes today, you might as well just add it to your to do list in between picking up the groceries and going to get Johnny when school gets out.
I mean seriously - do you have an hour you can spare? Well, there you go...
All kidding aside, it is true that women - and increasingly men as well - are going to their doctors in record numbers for Liposuction treatments.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we are just a bit shy of hitting half a million Liposuction patients here in the USA.
The actual number is 400,000 patients, and the survey was conducted in 2006.
Almost half a million people getting Liposuction treatments! This is quite a feat.
For women, the procedure is certainly most popular in treating the thighs and the abs, and for men, the abs and the flanks, also known more affectionately as "love handles.
" So why is Liposuction the number one cosmetic surgery in the USA? Are we that vein? Well...
Certainly the fact that we are a nation very concerned with physical appearance is a huge factor.
We do, after all, have more people with gym memberships than anywhere else in the world.
But unlike a gym membership, the results of a proper Liposuction are permanent or at least semi-permanent, and this is an overwhelming factor in it becoming so common.
Let's not forget price either.
Americans - well, current economic crisis withstanding - we do have a lot of disposable income.
According to a survey done by Real Self, many many Liposuction treatments - including those who had multiple treatments - put the bill on average of $5,000 per person.
But keep in mind this is the average when you take into consideration people often get multiple parts of their body treated.
When looking at just a single body part, the price is a bit shockingly low - for instance, Liposuction treatment for the buttocks start around $1,500.
Same price for the arms or the back.
Getting rid of those love handles will cost an extra $500.
Taken together, you could spend less than the price of a decent used car to get a new body.
All those considered, this is not a lot of money when working with a literal sculpting of the body - in this case, yours!
