Welcome to Penn State Hershey Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery has become a part of our society. Many people, not just the rich and famous, undergo some type of cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. In fact, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 6.6 million people had cosmetic plastic surgery in 2002. In that same year, the five most popular plastic surgery procedures were rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and face lift.
