DailyBurn has a new infographic online tracking the facts and figures of cosmetic surgery in men and women.  No surprise that the #1 cosmetic surgery of women is Breast Augmentation. (It still is after 2011, with liposuction still coming second, according to  the most recent plastic surgery statistics)

The popularity of cosmetic surgery has grown exponentially in the past few decades as our society becomes more comfortable with taking extreme measures to alter their appearance. Below the look at some of the most popular procedures being done today.

The graphic is pretty enough, but some odd design choices.  A few quirks:

  • The “top cosmetic” surgeries should be in order from #1 to #5, not from proximal to distal
  • I don’t understand the “Frequency by Age Group” chart.  What’s the Percentage?  Are all 5 bars supposed to add up to 100%?  Is it Percentage of all people in that age group?
  • Using circles for “Most Expensive Procedures”? With so many of them in the $4200-$5000 range, all the circles are effectively the same size.

What do you think?
