Anyone familiar with the reality TV show “Real Housewives of Orange County” knows many of the cast members are familiar with cosmetic procedures. In a recent episode, cast member Alexis Bellino asked, “Who doesn’t want Botox? Hello?”
Her sentiments seem to reflect a growing portion of the U.S. population, beyond Orange County. A new survey by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) found that more than half of Americans (51 percent) — regardless of income — approve of cosmetic surgery.
The approval ratings broken down by income are as follows:
“As the numbers suggest, people in every income bracket, single or married, male or female, view plastic surgery as a reasonable option today,” said Dr. Felmont F. Eaves III, president of ASAPS. “Taking care of yourself and paying attention to physical appearance is increasingly important to everyone.”
And while it’s common for celebrities to deny undergoing cosmetic procedures, the survey found 67 percent of respondents said they would not be embarrassed if their friends and family knew they had cosmetic surgery.
In an unscientific survey, the Orange County Register found similar results when it asked readers if they agreed with Bellino’s statement about Botox with about half agreeing with her, that it is indeed a good thing. More than half agreed with another statement by Bellino: “The O.C. has put a few requirements on women that live here – big boobs, blond hair and Botox.”
“Patient care was incredible! We are so very happy our child was referred to Dr. Will. We appreciate the attentiveness given to his medical condition. Will highly recommend to others.”
