Boob jobs and botox on the rise, plastic surgeons smile: some for beauty, some for health and some for recovery.

The global market for plastic surgery and anti-aging techniques, including Botox and fillers, lasers and equipment for body contouring, and breast implants, was about 4.4bil euro in 2012, up by 10 percent compared to 2011. The world market is expected to hit as high as €5.2 billion this year, according to the report.
From 2013 to 2017, estimates show that Europe’s interest in plastic surgery will continue to grow, despite a tough economic climate, by about 6.6 percent. The US and Latin America market will grow at a rate closer to 10 percent a year, while Asia-Pacific region will grow at a rate of more than 14 percent per year.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported this month that men account for almost 10 percent of plastic surgery procedures in the US, a 121 percent increase from 15 years ago.
