Men Fueling Growth in Plastic Surgery

You are currently viewing Men Fueling Growth in Plastic Surgery

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.”
