Subject: Plastic Surgery Stats from 2000

These are the stats that ASPS broadcasts all over the media ... they have a

huge PR team to disseminate such statistics. In fact, there is no mandatory

reporting and the actual numbers could bear little resemblance to these

numbers. I've asked several PS's if they report and all have said it is

very " lax " ... sometimes they do ...sometimes they don't.

" All figures are projected. "
