Plastic Surgery Becomes Popular Among Men
Plastic surgery patients comprise a large number of men, reports a study conducted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It also discloses that the overall demand of plastic surgery procedures have increased by 9% in 2010.
Mapping the trends in plastic surgery in 2010, the Society reveals that more men are going under the knife to look younger in order to keep their jobs. Men, especially, over 55 years of age are considering plastic surgery to get rid of lines around the eyes, between the eyes and on the forehead. This takes off some years from their face and helps them look younger and keep their jobs in the tight economy. As per the study, men have undergone 750,000 plastic surgeries in 2010. This is up 164% since 1997, when the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery first began tracking the figures.
The top five plastic surgery procedures men are opting for are liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast reduction and cosmetic ear surgery.
