Brazil<\/strong> surpassed the USA<\/strong> in the number of performed cosmetic surgeries<\/strong> last year (2013). According to the ISAPS (international society of aesthetic plastic surgery), while in the States the number of procedures were around 1,45 million in Brazil during the same period 1,49 million cosmetic and aesthetic surgeries were recorded.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs\u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the first time that a different country (other than the USA) grabs the top spot in the ranking of countries and plastic procedures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Brazilians themselves argue that the reasons of the rise in procedures in the largest south American country, might lie in the increasing wealthy population. Also added the fact that cosmetic and plastic surgery prices drop every year (mostly due to lower prices in medical supplies and the increasing competition \u2013 new doctors graduate every year in Brazil \u2013 making competition stronger and forcing other surgeons to keep up in competition with prices and special cosmetic offers).<\/p>\n

Brazil maintains the number 1 in 10 of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Among the listed procedures are \u201cVaginal rejuvenation\u201d , \u201cAbdominal definition \u2013 aka High Def Liposuction\u201d and Hair Transplants, \u201cBrazilian Butt Lifts<\/strong>\u201d, and of course the usual \u201cBreast Augmentation and \u201cLiposuction\u201d complete the list.<\/p>\n

It is no surprise to see the buttocks augmentation in the list of top procedures. Brazilian plastic surgeons are pioneers in the famous \u201cBrazilian Butt Lift\u201d technique used to enhance the female behind (this surgery is not only thought for women, a low but increasing number of men are opting to have their buttocks increased in size).<\/p>\n

Brazilians are open minded and somewhat used to be surrounded by sculptural bodies, just take a walk along the beach line in Copa cabana in Rio de Janeiro. You will witness the dedication to beauty and the importance Brazilians put into their physical appearances.<\/p>\n
