In addition to the whopping rise in butt lifts, butt implants have also gained popularity. The demand for the procedure rose to 1,863 in 2014, up from just 942 in 2013. According to the report, the procedures that continue to gain popularity are breast lifts, breast implants and tummy tucks. The report says the rise in surgical weight loss procedures that are medical in nature might have led to the fall in lipo procedures over these years. Also when considering the overall procedures, there is a 12% slump since 2000. This gives a hint of Americans starting to accept the way they are. Also they might be trying out the natural ways first and considering surgery only as a last resort.
