What Will You do on Yout Summer Vacation?
Many choose breast augmentation / implants, rhinoplasty, Botox and Liposuction
Long Island Press
Instead of spending money to take the annual summer vacation to a beach resort or a cruise to Europe, many people are using summer's "dog days" to undergo cosmetic surgery and resurface in the fall looking better than ever.
Breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, Botox, Restylane and liposuction are the hottest cosmetic surgery procedures this summer with patients who want to use their vacation time to have surgery so that they'll look good come fall. Patients range from school teachers to teens on summer break to recent college grads, mothers and even grandmothers. It's easier to schedule a surgery when things aren't quite as busy and people seem to have more downtime in their schedules over the summer months.
Patients are, in particular, weighing in on liposuction, the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in 2005, and resoundingly saying they would have the procedure again. According to a study in May's Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryŽ, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 80 percent of patients were satisfied with their liposuction results and 86 percent would recommend the procedure to family or friends.
Liposuction is one of the most satisfying procedures for patients and most effective at eliminating localized fat. For many, liposuction can act as an impetus for pursuing a healthy diet and exercise program. Fifty-five percent of patients (in the study above) reported an average decrease of three dress sizes after liposuction. Thirty-five percent said their clothing size did not change.
Thirty-three percent of patients reported exercising more after the procedure, while 58 percent had no change in their exercise regimen. In addition, 44 percent reported eating a healthy diet, while 53 percent reported eating the same.
More than 323,600 liposuction procedures were performed in 2005, according to ASPS statistics. In this study, the thighs and abdomen were the most common areas, followed by the hips, buttocks and knees.
