Market Wire, October, 2004

Plastic surgeons around the country are concerned about the message being delivered by some plastic surgery reality shows.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), these programs trivialize the process of plastic surgery and can mislead the public.

Because of their growing concern, the ASPS is embarking on a public awareness campaign to educate the public on the true nature of plastic surgery.
