When we think of cosmetic procedures, we think of breasts and Botox. But the fastest-growing cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in 2011 was ... the "chinplant," according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The Los Angeles Times reports.
"The chin and the jawline are among the first areas to show signs of aging," Dr. Malcolm Z. Roth, the organization's president, said in a statement. "People are considering chin augmentation as a way to restore their youthful look just like a facelift or eyelid surgery."


Overall, chin implants were up 71 percent over 2010, and split almost evenly between men and women (who may be trying to look young to compete in the workplace, the group suggests). However, the top four surgeries were still the ones you've heard the most about: breast augmentation (over 300,000 procedures), nose jobs (over 240,000), liposuction (over 200,000) and eyelid surgery (nearly 200,000).
The face-life made the top five for the first time since 2004, and lip augmentation and cheek implants also rose in popularity. Botox, which just celebrated its 10th birthday, was the most popular "minimally invasive" procedure. So ... would you get a chinplant to look younger? Or are you happy with the chin you were born with, thank you very much?

It's good to be secure about yourself, but it's quite another thing to judge others for feeling insecure about themselves.
