Plastic Surgery Influenced By Location
While breast augmentation, liposuction and rhinoplasty top the list of the country's most popular cosmetic surgical procedures, statistics show that the popularity of these procedures as well as other procedures vary from region to region.
Experts actually suggest that it's the weather that influences why individuals choose a particular procedure based on their geographical location. For example, in states such as California and Arizona, where it is warm and sunny year-round, people tend to wear less clothing and are thus more body-conscious. This would explain why the Mountain Pacific states lead the country in a number of body-oriented surgical procedures like breast augmentation, abdominoplasty and liposuction. In states with more variable climates, like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, people may be more face-conscious and opt for facial plastic surgery.
