Has Eye for Plastic Surgery - U.S. Survey

NEW
YORK (Reuters) - Love is not blind - at least when it comes to facial
plastic surgery.
Of
people who are dating or married, 59 percent of women and 54 percent of
men would like to change at least one feature on their partner's face,
according to an American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery survey released on Monday.
It
found that men were most likely to take suggestions about plastic surgery
as an insult. Women were more likely than men to take suggestions as
gestures of love and when a sweetheart offered to pay, were twice as
likely to go ahead with plastic surgery.
"This
survey shows that love is not blind and, in fact, has an eye for
improvement," academy president Dr. Keith LaFerriere said in a
statement.
The
Alexandria, Virginia, academy sponsored the telephone survey Dec. 2-5 of
1,000 adults across the United States, including 738 who were dating or
married. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent.
Respondents
said they would change their lover's hair (24 percent women, 17 percent
men), wrinkles (9 percent women, 11 percent men), nose (11 percent women,
9 percent men), mouth (6 percent each), eyes (5 percent each) or ears (4
percent each).
