Sample Answer:
A glance at the two figures provided reveals the popularity of various forms of cosmetic surgery among Korean men and women in 2004.
Not surprisingly, plastic surgery enjoyed widespread popularity among women. By far the most common forms of cosmetic procedure for this group, eyelid surgery and Rhinoplasty were performed a staggering 320,000 and 275,000 times respectively. Third in terms of popularity, meanwhile, was laser skin resurfacing. An approximate 215,000 of these procedures were conducted on women during the year in question. Breast enlargement and liposuction were considerably less common, at 145,000 and 120,000 operations respectively.
Equally predictable is the fact that plastic surgery was far less popular among men. In contrast to women, hair transplantation was the most common cosmetic procedure. There were just 60,000 of these operations among Korean males. Numbering some 55,000 procedures, laser skin resurfacing was second for this group. Third was Rhinoplasty, at approximately 40,000 operations. Finally, a relatively small 19,000 Abdominoplasty and 14,000 facelift procedures were carried out on men during 2004.
Also noteworthy is the fact that hair transplantation, Abdominoplasty and facelift patients were exclusively male, while 100 percent of liposuction, breast enlargement and eyelid surgery patients were female.
