Statistics released recently by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) show that more men are opting for plastic surgery. Overall, cosmetic plastic surgery in men were up 2 percent in 2010 compared to 2009. However, many male surgical procedures increased significantly – facelifts in men rose 14 percent and male liposuction went up 7 percent.
ASPS President Phillip Haeck, MD stated, “The growth in cosmetic surgical procedures for men may be a product of our aging baby boomers who are now ready to have plastic surgery. Minimally-invasive procedures such as Botox® and soft tissue fillers work to a point. However, as you age and gravity takes over, surgical procedures that lift the skin are necessary in order to show significant improvement.”
The fastest-growing male cosmetic procedures (by percentage increase from 2009 to 2010)?
- Facelift – 14% Increase
- Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) – 11% Increase
- Soft Tissue Fillers – 10% Increase
- Botulinum Toxin Type A – 9% Increase
- Liposuction – 7% Increase
- Breast Reduction in Men – 6% Increase
- Eyelid Surgery – 4% Increase
- Dermabrasion – 4% Increase
- Laser Hair Removal – 4% Increase
- Laser Treatment of Leg Veins – 4% Increase
Then this is like a world trend.
