This statistical graph shows which cosmetic surgeries are the most popular in teens from age 13-19. It shows the percent increase from 2011 to 2012 and the total amount of operations completed throughout 2012. The total amount of surgeries performed increased by 4 percent which raised the number up to 76,220. The total number of minimally-invasive procedures increased 1% and it equaled 160,136. This brought the total cosmetic operations in teens to 236,356 which was a two percent increase in total operations over the year. The top 5 surgical procedures were breast augmentation, breast reduction in men, ear surgery, liposuction, and nose reshaping. While the top 5 minimally invasive procedures turned out to be Botox, laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, laser treatment of leg veins, and microdermabrasion.
This statistical graph holds a lot of information that will be useful for my paper and presentation.
