10 Countries That Place a Premium On Cosmetic Surgery (3 of 6)

4. Brazil

How crazy are Brazilians about cosmetically-related alterations? Come on, there is literally a surgical procedure called the “Brazilian Butt Lift.” The dream of practically every girl over there is to have the slimmest waist coupled with the largest booty imaginable. In all, more than 2.5 million cosmetic procedures take place in a country where laying on the beaches of Rio all day and dancing in the clubs all night counts as gainful employment.

5. Italy

When you think “Italy,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? If you’re like most of us, it’s Botox! Although “liposuction” would have been an acceptable answer as well. Most Italian women take pretty good care of themselves, which means every minute they’re walking the streets of Milan or Florence is its own beauty pageant. When it comes to the pizzaest pizza, the leaningest leaning towers, and Botoxest Botoxed people, Italians expect nothing but the best!
