Plastic Surgery More Popular for Men

About 9 percent of all cosmetic procedures performed in the United States are performed for men. That comes out to about 800,000 procedures performed last year alone, and this number has been rising in recent years. Cosmetic surgery is becoming a popular choice for men who want to feel young and look their best.

DISCOVERING THE KEY TO YOUTH
Since 1997, the field of cosmetic surgery has seen a 121 percent increase in the number of men receiving treatment. Not long ago, men were hesitant to have a cosmetic procedure because they feared that it would look unnatural or noticeable. But times change advanced technologies and procedures, not to mention changing social mores, have opened up the eyes and minds of men who have a thing or two they’d like to change about themselves.

At our practice in La Jolla, plastic surgery can take years off of a man’s features while making the change look very natural. New, advanced facial contouring procedures add subtle refinements to the features to balance them out, while body contouring procedures help men get rid of those annoying problem areas that just won’t go away, like excess stomach flab or love handles.

A BETTER BODY, TOO
Looking younger isn’t all that men desire, either. The most popular procedure for men this past year was liposuction. More than 41,000 liposuction procedures were performed for men in 2011. Just as with women, diet and exercise don’t always get rid of those stubborn areas of unwanted fat. There is only so much a healthy life style can do for a person, regardless of gender.
