Okay, so is there anything we won’t augment? Watch out twins, boob jobs are out, chin jobs are in!
Well, not sure ladies will ever stop their “enhancements,” but chin augmentation is the surgery of choice for the past year.
New statistics out from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons puts the “chinplant” at the top of the body enhancement list.
Between 2010 and 2011, chin enhancements increased 71%, surpassing breast implants, liposuction and Botox combined.
No pull your jaw off the floor because those stats are a little misleading, chinplants are relatively new and we all know how long breast implants and Botox have been around for. But, the fact is a growing number of Americans are fixing their chins. Between 2010 and 2011, there were about 21,000 chin augmentation surgeries performed in America, with about have of them going to our male counterparts.
So want to know why experts believe this augmentation is on the rise? You can thank Facebook and your snazzy smart phone. Experts say that use of video chat online, the aging baby boomer population and people who desire to be more attractive to achieve success for themselves, are all reasons for the rise in chin plant popularity.
Well, I’m keeping mine for now :)
