Cosmetic Surgery in Men
When someone thinks of plastic surgery they most often picture a woman. The female gender has been the dominant demographic for plastic surgery for as long as it has been around, but many forget that men can benefit from it as well.
Statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that facelifts for men have risen 14% from 2009 to 2010 with a male increase in liposuction of 7%. And data indicates that the pattern is still rising today*. More and more men are considering facelifts and age-defying procedures to gain an edge in the workplace or to appeal more to their wives (or sometimes show off to ex-wives!).
Popular Cosmetic Surgery Procedures in Men
According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number one common procedure performed in men is Liposuction. Followed closely by Rhinoplasty, eyelid, breast reduction, and finally hair transplant surgery**.
Liposuction helps many men who have been eating better and exercising more, but have reached a point where it isn’t enough. Some body fat can be extremely hard to get rid of, especially as men age. This procedure helps take out those final pounds that give men the self-esteem boost they need to look as good as they feel.
Injectable Fillers, Botox, and Microdermabrasion for Men
Botox and Microdermabrasion procedures are increasing as well. Many men worry about time spent out of the office. These procedures are fairly quick and can have you back on your feet in the same day. They also don’t take quite as big a strain on your wallet as well, lowering preparation time. As figures continue to increase, it is clear that men today are taking advantage of cosmetic surgery and the numerous enhancements it has to offer.
