WHO LEADS IN ANTI-AGING PROCEDURES?

Common sense would tell us the “older” generation or baby boomers would be leading the way.

But surprise, surprise!

A study by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) (I am a member) found that “Generation-X” people, aged 31-45, actually led the way with 43% of the $10+ billion spent on cosmetic procedures in 2010. The baby boomers (I’m also a member here as well) accounted for 28% of the total spent.

There were a total of 13.1 million cosmetic procedures done and of this total 11.6 million were non-surgical. That keeps plastic surgeons such as me happily busy.
