And The 'Fakest' Country In The World Is...
If America is so 'exceptional' why is it the world's leader in needing to 'change'...
When it comes to plastic surgery, the United States is still the country with the most procedures worldwide.

You will find more statistics at Statista
In 2014, there were a total of 4.1 million procedures, 20 percent of the world's total, according to data compiled by The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Business is also booming in Brazil and Japan where there were 2.1 and 1.3 million procedures last year respectively.

Would've been a more insightful graphic if it normalized for population (i.e., plastic surgeries per capita).
Plastic enhancements paid for with plastic money
Using rough population numbers and assuming 50% of the population (generous) is eligible for the procedures, the real fakest nation on a per capita basis is......South Korea (roughtly 4% having had the surgery), then US (3%), Brazil and Japan tie at about 2%
All this graphic shows is the level of brainwashing the Zio-American media has had on its sheeple. The number of idiots who opt for plastic surgery, breast implants, tatoos, piercings, etc... is merely an indication of the powerful stimuli the mass media has had upon their personal valuation. These poor souls feel the need to reflect the images and ideals that their false idols possess. It all makes sense... and is a testament to the pathetic state of "mind" into which the world has been deviously coerced.
On a per capita basis, America isn't even in the top 5.

South Korea is #1.
More fake statistics posted by a person with the fake name of Tyler Durden.
I'm pretty sure that of the 4.1 million plastic surgeries in the United States 4 million were in Southern California.
look no further than the ultimate freaks of the Kardashitard clan. They went full retard with Bruce Trans-Jenner.
And everybody knows you never go full retard.

In one word, "Tits".
exactly
"change"? more like improving, perfecting
america #1 at become better lol
So a woman recieving a masectomy for breast cancer and then doing reconstructive surgery is considered fake.
Hmmm ok, whatever.
I've seen better articles on ZH, especially - as mentioned in the very first post - that there is no per capita normalisation for an international comparison.
Looks like the ugly trolls need to enhance themselves in order to pass as regular people.
Well, not everyone can enjoy having some natural bouncy goods.

Enjoy !
classy. grow up
This graphic chart is all that I needed to reconcile having dated a Brazilian-American; her mother was a hideous, scared, and vain woman who attempted to cast her gravity upon every human affair. To her, everyone was ugly unless, of course, they spoke portuguese.
"We plasticized some folks."
Actually the District of Colummbia has the most plastic surgeons per capita, and on an interesting side note, Mormons also like their plastic surgery.
https://www.ksl.com/?sid=16938771
Mormons? Really?
Huh.
They are the new "gods chosen people", respected in business, known to be honest, educated.
The Jew.0 if you will.
Mormons are just Jews with blond hair and blue eyes. "Honest"??? Really. All those MLM companies they started and run?
Mormons are at the top of a lot of scam companies.
I don't think Utah at #8 is all that remarkable.
Imagine if you actually read the article you linked.
Too much effort, I guess.
My god man!
Don't stop!
Odds are that... Those who get plastic surgery identify with the Elite, and those getting tattoos identify with the working poor.
Typically, the Elite are more likely to do the branding of their underlings or property, than being branded.
I have, since teenage years, wanted a tiny little Judas Priest trident tattoo on my knuckle, kind of like a ring.

Still want it, but I know better... instinct says "fuck no."
Makes perfect sense with the US' divorce laws! Get fake tits, blow a guy for 6 months, get married, start faking headaches and two years later, take half his shit. 10000%+ ROI, duh.
Yeah I thought the same thing. As I was scanning the list I automatically did back of the envelope calcs and pretty sure USA is still #1 even if the order of other countries would change.
I did the math, South Korea wins, and Brazil and Japan aren't that far from the US.
Sugeries pop Surgeries per 1K
SK 0.98 50.22 19.5
US 4.1 318.9 12.9
Brazil 2.1 200.4 10.5
Japan 1.3 127.3 10.2
Columbia 0.357 48.32 7.4
Germany 0.533 80.62 6.6
France 0.416 66.03 6.3
Mexico 0.706 122.3 5.8
Damn. "Missed it by that much" as Maxwell Smart would say.
I'm throwing away my faulty envelope.
or, DocRAM has famously taken up the saying since Maxwell Smart is no longer making TV shows ... (Dr. Richard Alan Miller, Oak Publishing) - check out his YT interviews, pretty cool
Whoever marked you down for doing this has ZERO integrity. WTF?
As a few of us commented in other threads lately, there's been a recent influx of "junk monkeys" and trolls that seem to be targetting high-content posters.
Banzai posted a photo of them JunkHedge Dogs the other day - be on the lookout for a short-haired Schnauzer, i got a pretty good look at 'em, he's got a side-kick too ... maybe a Pug ...
Yeah, no kidding, thanks seek.
Seen a lot of apparently random downvotes lately, maybe a cranky drunk, or a bot going by keywords.
What? No Thailand?!
http://contented.cc/2014/07/thailands-ladyboys-and-a-lottery-to-military...
It's five year old data (best I could find with no effort, but not even close with 76K procedures v. 65M population in 2009. That's about 1.1 surgeries per 1K. I'm sure the figure has grown as the SK surgery rate was much lower in 2009 as well.
The number of plastic surgeries dropped precipitously when Joan Rivers died.
hey, Joan called out the 1st Lady as a Tranny .... better watch it Zeros ...
Probably someone disappointed USSA is not so exceptional.
Why is it so hard for everyone to spell Colombia? I mean, its like EVERYONE.
Nicely done. Now, if only we could differentiate reconstructive "plastic surgery" from going under the knife for the sake of sheer vanity in these numbers; but, like running these numbers as totals and not on a per-capita basis, that'd probably take a bit of the "oomph" out of the article's crux...
If they stated the stats per % of population then that wouldn't fit the story line ZH tries to weave from day to day. Gotta stick to the script ya know.
Ha ha... Yeah.
Coz the normalised numbers tell a story that is SOOOOOO different huh?
What's the weather like InDenial? (where you live).
I have no idea who upvoted you, but I had to login just to downvote this terrible terrible joke!
Might be worse MD! Meanwhile I thought the same thing.
I fixed it. Looks like South Korea is the one with the problem...
http://i.imgur.com/rN6RzgE.png?1
I used number of surgeons instead of number of procedures. So number of Surgeons per capita....
The the U.S. isn’t the fattest country in the world – but it’s close http://wpo.st/8res0
Caitlyn Jenner couldn't be reached for comment.
Caitlyn on the outside, Bruce on the inside.
I think deep down he just really wants to fuck himself. And I wish he would hurry up and do it.
Per Capita is the obvious indicator: the U.S. isn't close...
However, plastic surgery need not be considered only a sign of sickness or low IQ, as indicated by the characteristics of the predominant consumer in the U.S.; i.e., the choice to have a procedure may be a natural extension of having already perfected the mental capacity, as is likely the case in South Korea.
Hopefully this is satire on your part.
Society has it's hand up your ass, animating you like a puppet, compelling you to decide that you need to change how you naturally are to fit in with an arbitrary cultural standard of perfection.
Fuck that.
Take titties. I have big ones. I feel sorry for women who feel like they need to inflate theirs. I wish mine were smaller. I am not crippled by them however or else I might get surgery. Small breasts look pretty to me. We are all different. Why can't that be okay?
It is not a sign of sickness or low IQ, it is a sign of how subordinated you are to your culture.
Okay, somebody is going to ask and it might as well be us. How big is big? Geez, are women ever satisfied with their bodies?
"Geez, are women ever satisfied with...Anything?"
No. Hypergamy has been suspiciously left out of government edukation centers.
... had a feelin the MsC would be well endowed ... just know you're loved on the Hedge ... your hubby is a lucky guy !
"Small breasts look pretty to me."
Any woman's breasts looks pretty to me.
Well, those I remember.
MsCreant, I hope you find the study re breast size and IQ gratifying (I did): http://www.medicaldaily.com/double-trouble-how-your-breast-size-speaks-v.... It's in the middle of the article.
MsCreant - Brilliant succinct commentary.
Hmm ... Wonder what we have in common with Brazil & Japan?
Financial and cultural bankruptcy?
I think we have a winner
Wealthiest country in the world, I'd rather expect it to do some frivolous spending from time to time....
USA. Still #1 where it matters - obesity and plastic surgury.
crap food + liposuction = perpetual profit machine

Plastic titties suck.
Plastic faces look like Saran wrap a la Brazil.
Women are like Coke - " it's The Real Thing " - or they aren't worth spit.
Unfortunately - like it's women - real coke hasn't been available in the US for bloody ages... When was the last time they actually used real sugar in it over there instead of that corn syrup shit?
One can buy coke made with sugar (from mexico) in the glass bottle at Costco or any mexican market in California.
Everything is fake. Lovey asked me to get some ice cream for the pumpkin pie so I did. Or at least I thought I did. When I put it in the fridge I noticed "frozen dairy desert" printed on it over the picture so it was hard to see. My fault should have known better. We live in a plastic disposable world.
Breyers BTW.
excellent point Curious C - the time Coke took out real sugar is the time Fake Titties started becoming a trend ...
My sisters both went and got these monstrosities. A hug is like two softballs, doesn't feel right.
The fact that one of them had a double blow-out at the same time...well, we still tease her about it.
god bless fake boobies!
Cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dentistry.
The triumph of "packaging" over content, in the "Look at ME!!" Society, where intelligence and ability score a far distant second (or less) to "Facebook Likes".
Whenever my teeth need to look pretty, I take them out and add a new coat of gloss white.

Get rid of California and this chart represents a truer picture of the USA .
While no doubt true, there's other things this chart isn't capturing. The USA is a pretty major destination for the well-off in other countries getting cosmetic surgery, and I doubt koreans or chinese traveling to the west coast and getting procedures done (or people in Europe going to NYC or Miami for that matter) is getting subtracted from the US total, so the figures are likely inflated, especially for the US.
Just chalk it up as one more piece of junk data.
Actually, the tourism angle is Colombia, not the US.
In a contest of the most fake and superficial, the U.S. is in a league of its own.
"......still the country with the most procedures worldwide."
And they need it too, ugly bastards.
...and ugly bitches, bitchez.
4.1 million?
Hell, I thought that was just LA.
America sucks the hind tit of the World so it's no wonder that they are so fixated on breasts, and fake breasts, eh. It satisfies the mass oral fixation that Americans have, and it's a logical conclusion to decades of media programming of women so that they are made to feel inadiquate in the cup size compared to the Bay Watch bimbos that are not real.
You probably aren't even master of your own underwear... Skid boy...
Now I realize why so may support Obummer care - they think they are covered
Slow news day?
What about Clit removal in Africa?
Fantastic observation.
Clitoredectomy. We will never have formal numbers on that one because they keep that "in the tribe." No formal tracking.
Adadictomy vs cutadicfrumy...it gets so damned confusing...
Speaking of clitoredectomy, where does circumcision fall into the stats?
It's of Jewish origin, so the Jewish establishment calls it a needed medical procedure.
If that were allowed to happen here, you would immediately see a dramatic reduction in divorces.
It would prohibit "itchy pussy syndrome" from developing.
These are not plastic surgeries. These are cosmetic surgeries.
Big difference between the two.
There was an article recently somewhere about women having surgery done to avoid having the camel toe while in yoga pants.
If I was dating someone and she had that operating, I would toss her ass to the curb in a second. Talk about stupid.
.
..to be fair I would do the same if fake tits or tattoos came into the picture. Call me old fashioned but I like real titties and tattoos are for morons.
Moose knuckle reduction.... lmao
+100 for 'moose knuckle' instead of 'camel toe' (you beat me to it).
That said, I have seen some moose knuckles that look like a mattress folded in half (or one side of a quarter-pounder, held tightly on its other side).
Tattoos are like smoking - an indication of deep insecurity and a deep yearning for validation. (Hence the old joke: "If she's a smoker, she'll let you poke 'er").
Some nice lookin' (but deeply insecure) chicks be "gettin' ink done" (lol @ Offspring's 'Pretty Fly For a White Guy')... it's like putting out an ad "Be nice to me - I will totally blow you the same day."
After reading this thread I think it is safe to assume that no Hedgers have undergone the silicone penis procedure. Yes, apparently they have that now as well as male peck implants. I am not sure which is worse super tight jeans (skinny jeans) on men or fake peckers... it's just scary. Hasn't anybody ever heard of trying too hard... sheesh!
well you know, with diabetese you are subject to circulatory problems later on
So it is not uncommon to see a patient with an penis implant where I work, ICU
ya gotta do what ya gotta do to smooth out the rough edges when married
I've reached an age and attitude where I no longer give a shit. Besides adding plastic to what is, increasingly, flab is an exercise in futility.
(come to think of it, it never actually really mattered to me. Don't know why it mattered so much to my sisters.)
I consider male circumcision cosmetic surgery, US should be in the tens of millions, number one spot by far. Cosmetic penis surgery for infants, they love surgery.
It's a love of rabbis to suck on the dick afterwards.

Fuck the kikes! They have single-handedly destroyed the republic.
saliva is well known to prevent infections. Don't you know, if you get a nick or cut, yeah, wash it, but if you lick your wound you do help yourself.
I've seen this derogatory remark towards this circumcision issue for years, and never once have I seen the reason why it is done : prevents infections. Stop with the "Rabbi's are gay" stuff ... geez, Biitchez !
It's a myth. The worst thing you can do if you get a cut or nick is put it in your mouth, there are more bacteria and 'germs' in the average human mouth than is in the average human anus.
Yahweh loves him some baby-cock-skin.
Not sure why, but even though he can create an entire universe in 6 days, Yahweh would trade mastery over it in exchange for a regular supply of infant cock-skin. (He's a bit of a maniacal genocidal cunt, too).
It's for God's convertible luggage. He keeps it as a wallet, rubs it, and it turns into a suitcase.

So, you're trying to get some point across about Amurka, but I have to ask, why would measuring anything against the total absolute global population be a relevant measure? The US is the 3rd most populous country in the world, so I imagine quite a bit of errant behavior would register higher in the US than in nearly ALL other countries. This is the type of statistical sleight of hand that central banks practice. This is the kind shit gun-grabbers pull when they try to tell me I'm a social deviant because I insist on being armed. Gimme a fucking break.
The most common metric used in population analysis for objective numerical purposes is per capita. No? You guys have never seen, let alone used per capita metrics before?
So, let's re-examine your figures on a per capita basis.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l6_7cNptak8/VBunHs7n3JI/AAAAAAAADVo/H8LyMYuljM...
The US kind of fades in comparison. Still high, but compared to some countries with notably smaller populations, it doesn't seem the US particularly stands out.
Sorry to spoil the party.
Good point. Also, I noticed Israel is not on the list. I have spent some time in Los Angeles and anecdotally noticed the overwhelming tendency of female 'tribe' members preference for rhinoplasty. In fact, many give such a surgery as a "gift" to their youngsters. I would guess that if you adjusted the numbers for dual citizens and foreigners visiting for plastic surgery trips the U.S. would rank toward the bottom on a per capita basis.
It's useless in bulk - only makes sense per capita.
On a per capita basis:
South Korea
approx 19.52 procedures per thousand people
USA
approx 12.85 procedures per thousand people
Brazil
approx 10.50 procedures per thousand people
Japan
approx 10.15 procedures per thousand people
These ratios were obtained by using the world bank population figures for each country.
Markets are closed and it's raining outside. Had a bit of spare time on my hands.
Im glad ZH could find something for you to do dumdum.
Ugly people pretending to be pretty. Murica, Fuck Yeah!
You're all misunderstanding the breast implant patients.* Women with large breasts have on average a much higher IQ than women with small breasts (yes, really); the women getting implants are trying to pretend to be smarter than they actually are:
"Contrary to popular and unfounded belief, large-breasted women actually have higher intelligence than their less-endowed counterparts. A 2011 University of Chicago study found larger-breasted women scored an average of 10 points higher than other women in IQ tests. " (http://www.medicaldaily.com/double-trouble-how-your-breast-size-speaks-v...)
I personally find this study very gratifying.
* (this is known as "irony")
Gosh kareninca thanks for teaching me that. My wife has medium unaugmented breasts so now I understand why her unaugmented intelligence is of a medium level.
Funny how that "study" no longer exists......
"Women with large breasts have on average a much higher IQ than women with small breasts"
Which begs the question: Why do large breasts make women smarter and men stupider?
I was privileged to know the recently deceased Carol Doda, the legendary topless dancer and godmother of silicon implants. In 1964 I was 13 years old and had a San Francisco Chronicle paper route, and I would go to a garage around 5:00 am every morning to pick up the newspapers. President Kennedy had been killed six months earlier, the civil rights movement was in full swing, and Vietnam was starting to heat up, but all the cops who came in for their free newspapers wanted to read about was Carol Doda.
Years later I lived in North Beach and got to know Carol. She was friendly and had a quirky little musical show. The quality of her voice was surprisingly good and the ease with which she bantered with the crowd and worked the tip jar was impressive. When I helped Carol get her new computer online I told her the story about the cops who asked about her every morning in 1964. She said she wished she had stayed in school instead of going to work in bars.
I read the article and there is still no cure for stupid,what a shame.
Ahhhh, boobs flopping and floopin around. Real or fake, either or is fine. Is that selfish, you bet. But I dont sleep very well, and warm balloony pillows are my favorite. Thanks, ladies.
There are many surgeons that offer before/after photos of breast augmentation.
Look at a hundred or so. My take is that about 60% looked better before surgery than they do after. So many look like they're about to explode.
Some are really improvements.
Inspite of a century of socialists trying to discredit America .... sabotage her .... and bring her down .... the people still manage to get what they want .... more than in any other place .... that's American Exceptionalism !
Freedom is what makes a country exceptional and the current commies are doing their best to destroy what freedom we have left.
Capitalism is spreading .... through the internet .... and it's driving socialists crazy .... hence, terror ?
For Brazilian hookers .... it's economic survival .... Japanese want their eyes fixed and can afford it .... for Americans .... it's one of a million lifestyle options .... exceptional R we ?
We are still .... the "Realest" country .... in the world ?
Worthless topic. Waste of time.
funniest thing to me is, every time I hear of a husband springing for fake tits for his wife ....
exactly what does he think she wants them for? who does he think she is trying to attract?
God there are some dumb-ass rich people in this country!
America has tyhe most plastic surgery because America has the most ugly whores.
Especially in Congress.
Deekra (dear) you will be surprised how many MEN have plastic surgery as well. It makes sense, as most men are loath to use makeup the way women do.
There are some useful and beneficial plastic surgery procedures. For example, in place of silicone, a woman can now have bags of mexican junping beans implanted in her breasts. That way, even when she is quietly sitting and reading a book, she can still entertain her boyfriend.
Disposable income levels havea lot to dowith this ranking as well. I know MANY in India that would love to have procedures but simply can't afford to.
