Cosmetic surgery has become very popular these days as more and more people are seeking to improve their personal appearance. In the United States, there are over ten million cosmetic surgery procedures performed in a single year. Although these types of surgical procedures are cosmetic--that is, oriented towards changing a person's appearance--they are not without the risks that come with surgery. Furthermore, medical insurance does not usually cover these types of procedures. Since there is such a high demand for them in the United States, the corresponding prices can also be quite high. Let us take a look at a number of cosmetic surgery procedures and the usual prices that are associated with them in the US.
