Male Interest in Plastic Surgery Rises

Looks like the cat’s out of the bag!  All this time we were hiding our beauty secrets from our significant others, but they’ve finally caught on. 1,098,034 men had cosmetic procedures last year to enhance their looks… and we thought women were the only ones who cared about their appearance! So move over ladies!

According to the ASPS, the number of men who have had minimally-invasive procedures has gone up almost 50% over the last 10 years.  The minimally-invasive procedures that are most popular for these appearance conscious males are Botox, filler injections, and laser skin resurfacing treatments.

For the guys that did turn to more intense procedures to maintain their boyish charm, the top 5 surgical procedures included Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Liposuction, Gynecomastia (breast reduction) and Hair Transplantation for hair loss.  Rhinoplasty was the most popular procedure among the guys with 66,334 total procedures just last year.

These average men, macho and metro alike, are getting hooked on these quick and easy minimally-invasive procedures to take years off and restore pride in their appearance. With injectables, there is little downtime, so business men can get back to work in no time at all and no one will ever have to know where they really went on their lunch break!
