»» More Laser Treatments, Less Face-Lift

According to a survey conducted by American Society of Plastic Surgeons, increasingly people prefer minimally invasive facial procedures - such as laser treatments, to face-lifts.
 

Doctors performed 108,955 face-lifts last year, but they did a whopping 3.8 million Botox treatments and 1 million chemical peels.

Botox is both easier and cheaper than a face-lift, but is not a permanent fix, so it has to be repeated every three to four months, whereas a face-lift lasts a decade.

The top five cosmetic surgical procedures in 2005 were: liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, and tummy tucks.
