Estimates ranging from 1 to 2 million have been used to describe the number of women in the United States who have had cosmetic breast implants. Original data from a historical cohort study of women with breast augmentation were combined with simulation techniques to compute new estimates grounded on a more objective set of information and assumptions than previous attempts. It was estimated that the number of women who had cosmetic augmentation mammoplasty between 1963 and 1988 was 894,206 (range = 437,602 to 2,035,783). The number of women ever treated with cosmetic augmentation mammoplasty may be substantially smaller than previously reported.
据估计，美国有100万至200万女性进行过隆胸手术。一项针对隆胸女性的历史性队列研究的原始数据与模拟技术相结合，以基于一套比以往尝试更客观的信息和假设来计算新的估计值。据估计，1963年至1988年间接受隆胸手术的女性人数为894,206人（范围为437,602至2,035,783人）。接受过隆胸手术的女性人数可能比之前报道的要少得多。
