I saved a graphic from the online newspaper a couple of wks ago. I don't know why, it's just one of those oddball articles that caught my attention. Maybe a little voice was telling me it would come in handy some day.

Anyway, in 2002 in the US, there were nearly 300,000 augmentation and reconstructive breast surgeries performed by board-certified surgeons. About 220,000 were augmentations. I don't know what reconstructive entails but I'd guess it's primarily for mastectomies?

The numbers are increasing rapidly, WAY beyond population growth.

What would Dr. Statistics say? Probably that you're both right depending on how many surgery days in a year: it averages over a thousand operations a day but not thousands and thousands. ;-)

The highest number of breast REDUCTION surgeries in the world are carried out in Brazil. So if you want to make something smaller sounds like that's the place to go.
