Introduction
Forget Wall Street-Our Insider Trading Secrets Come Straight from Rodeo Drive!

Even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

  —CINDY CRAWFORD
T he boomers are aging—and don’t want to look it. Women are looking to nonsurgical procedures—and loving it.
Men are using beauty products—and not afraid to admit it.
We are a nation obsessed with appearance—and the statistics prove it.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Americans spent approximately $12.4 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2007. This means that more doctors than ever before are performing more procedures on more people, creating an inherent confusion about not only which procedures are the most appropriate but also which doctor is the most qualified to perform them.
It doesn’t help to clarify matters that in the past decade, techniques to enhance the appearance of the face have grown exponentially. New technology makes surgery simpler and recovery faster. New products mean new brand names, and new brand names mean new buzzwords, which cause even more confusion. (Can you say “Radiesse, Restylane, and Thermage, with a side of Artefill for good measure”?)
Many of the latest techniques in cosmetic advancement involve nonsurgical procedures. In fact, recent statistics reveal a widening gap in the surgical versus nonsurgical conundrum: of the nearly 11.5 million surgical and nonsurgical procedures performed in the United States in 2007, surgical procedures accounted for only 19 percent of the total procedures, and nonsurgical procedures made up the other 81 percent.
The top five nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in 2005 were as follows:
1. Botox injections
2. Laser hair removal
3. Hyaluronic acids (Hylaform, Restylane)
4. Microdermabrasion
5. Chemical peels
Simultaneously, the demand for facial rejuvenation and beauty preservation has increased at an unprecedented rate because of increasing societal acceptance of cosmetic procedures. Popular magazines continue to tout the “youth is power” message through glossy photographs of young, unblemished, wrinkle-free models. Television has also had a huge impact: Extreme Makeover and Dr. 90210 and their countless spin-offs made cosmetic surgery fodder for “reality TV” shows, and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy turned beauty products for men into a fad that became a trend that continues as a habit today.
As a result, a significant amount of confusion has surfaced about the cornucopia of procedures, physician board certification, cost, and the validity of “lunchtime makeovers.” The trends are actually as surprising to physicians as they have been to patients. For decades surgery was performed in a medical center and nonsurgical procedures were performed at clinics, but recent statistics reveal newly emerging trends: of all
