While many will be using their tax refund to pay down debt, a new survey says a great deal of people are planning to use their check on cosmetic surgery.

The new survey conducted by RealSelf.com shows 36 percent of Americans intend to use all or part of their tax return to pay for a cosmetic procedure.
