In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most【C17】______appearing qualifier. We see more searches such as "breast implant cost" and "plastic surgery cost".【C18】______older demographics continue to search for information on procedures such as face-lifts, it’s the younger Internet users who in tough【C19】______times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, although at a(n) 【C20】______price.
