No matter who you try to fault, be it the millennials or even the Kardashians, the truth of the matter is that the demand for plastic surgery has been on the rise.

Unlike some few years back, there is no stigma in this era as more and more people are socially coming to terms with the new reality. There are a lot of factors that play a role in encouraging the rise of individuals undergoing surgery with the younger generation being at the top of the list and the most influence coming from culture. A country's economy, as well as its ability to access the disposable income, plays a role in the demand levels of plastic surgery by its residents.

According to the latest report published by The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, some countries are recording a higher percentage of the total number of plastic surgeries. Based on these trends, it would not come as a surprise to see these numbers doubling up come next year.

The information, in some way, is shedding light on some disturbing and rather interesting trends in the plastic surgery profession. The report briefly gives an overview of the countries in which there are many people opting for plastic surgeries. Below is the breakdown in terms of percentages.

• The United States (17.9%)

• Brazil (10.7%)

• Japan (4.8%)

• Italy (4.1%)

• Colombia (3.9%)

The above information represents the total surgeries done on a worldwide scale. It is evident that the United States is leading with a huge percentage of 17.9% which translates to about four million total plastic surgeries done in the year 2016 alone while Brazil follows with 2.5 million people. An interesting fact to note is that both the U.S. and Brazil happen to be neighboring countries.

What Trends Can We See?

The report constitutes all kinds of plastic surgeries performed aside from the common boob and nose jobs or the tummy tucks. But when you closely look at each country’s breakdown, you will be able to see some interesting kinds of trends showing up which are different from one country to another.

For example, when it comes to The United States, the most common plastic surgeries are liposuctions and breast augmentations. In the case of Japan, the eyelid surgery is the most common surgical procedure which is also a prevalent practice of the modern East Asian culture.

One in five women in Japan is undergoing an eyelid surgery which translates to about 44, 000 a year.It is more common in Asia for an individual to yearn for “Western-looking” kind of eyes. The results from these findings also show how globalization is having a significant impact on the industry.

Despite the U.S taking the lead when it comes to surgical procedures involving breast augmentation, it comes in second to Brazil in the body category such as liposuction, butt augmentation, and abdominoplasty.

Procedures which are gaining the most popularity

The leading increases come from the upper body lifts which have seen an increase of 26% from 2015 to 2016. Lower body lifts and labiaplasty also top the list of the surgical procedure that is gaining most popularity. Penile enlargement, on the other hand, has seen a decrease of 28%. But the numbers should not convince you to go just for any surgery. So how can you make sure that your plastic surgery does not get botched?

Even though the data is from information available, we can still strongly conclude that a surprisingly huge number of individuals are getting different kinds of plastic surgery and people are comfortable with it.
