According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, based here, nearly 10 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States in 2009. That’s down just 2 percent from 2008.
Nonsurgical procedures — the most popular of which are Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA, Allergan) injections, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and chemical peels — accounted for 85 percent of the total. The remainder comprised surgical procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and abdominoplasty.
