The number of people going for plastic surgeries may, or may well not, perfectly provide an indication of the economy, but they are certainly heading on the same uphill track as the employment rate and stock market. The main similarity that can be easily harvested on making a brief comparison of all the said factors and rates in the region is the impact of recession.

Earlier during the week, Joan Rivers raised a row over the authenticity of reports claiming that she had gone through as many as 739 plastic surgeries. Taking the claims into consideration, it seems like the entire trend is being shepherd by her solitarily.

People in the United States got in excess of 1.6mn cosmetic surgeries during the last year, the second consecutive year of rise following the year 2009 when a significant and influential drop was recorded in the number of people availing cosmetic plastic surgeries in the United State.

The reports have been based on data compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) which has been made available in its recent annual report.

While explaining his opinion regarding the rapidly increasing number of plastic surgeries being carried out all over the United States, Malcolm Z. Roth, the group President said in a recently released statement: "Consumer confidence was up, auto sales rose 10 percent, so it is not surprising that we would also see increased demand for plastic surgery procedures".

But still, people all over the United States got comparatively lesser number of facelifts, nose jobs and other expensive cosmetic plastic surgeries as compared to the number of surgeries carried out in America during the year 2005, when the toll was a skyscraping 2.1 million.

In this regard, the President of Academy, Dr. Tom Wang held the opinion that people are heavily relying on social media for the sake of getting information regarding their plastic surgery.
