• Breast augmentation (347,500)
• Liposuction (302,000)
• Nose reshaping (285,000)
• Eyelid surgery (241,000)
• Tummy Tuck (148,000)

• Botox (4.6 million!)

Here in my own Duxbury, MA cosmetic surgery and skin spa (on Boston's South Shore), I experience a slightly different but similar finding. My top five cosmetic surgery procedures for the past year are:

• Breast augmentation
• Tummy Tuck
• Liposuction
• Facelift
• Breast Lift

For non-surgical therapies, are top treatments are:

• Botox
• Fillers like Restylane (hyaluronic acids)
• Laser hair removal
• Intense pulse light therapies
