America's Approval of Cosmetic Surgery at an All-Time High

The study has been taking the nation's pulse for the past decade, charting the American public's general feelings toward cosmetic surgery in a variety of areas. Following a ten-year trend of increasingly positive results, the study's 2007 edition finds the nation's approval of cosmetic surgery to be at an all-time high.

This marks an eight percent increase from 2006, and narrowly edges out the sixty-one point eight percent approval rate in 2001, making it the highest reported approval rating since the survey was implemented.
