Specifically, 34% of women polled in a new ASAPS survey said they would consider cosmetic surgery, compared with 14% of men. Men and women aged 45 to 54 comprised the age group most likely to consider cosmetic surgery.
Women had 87% of the cosmetic procedures done last year. The number of cosmetic procedures increased 16% for women between the years 2002-2003.
