Plastic Surgery Statistics (02-2000)
We present the following statistics because we at the Mid Hudson Plastic Surgery Center, feel that the best patient is an educated one. What once was a field that was for a small, exclusive population has expanded to include almost every section of the population. We thought it would be of interest to you to see what the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures are and how many people, across the United States have availed themselves of those procedures.
In no way does this mean that Dr. Hagerty suggests that you should have a particular procedure performed because it is "popular." Whatever cosmetic procedure you decide to have should be as a result of your personal needs, in consultation with Dr. Hagerty.
