Male Plastic Surgery Procedures Soared in 2012

Top 5 Male Plastic Surgery Procedures in 2012

The number of cosmetic procedures performed in men rose up to a 106 percent from the figures in 1997. The top 5 plastic surgery  procedures for males in 2012 were:

1. Liposuction
2. Rhinoplasty
3. Eyelid Surgery
4. Breast Reduction
5. Ear Reshaping Surgery

We are confident that these statistics continue to accurately report cosmetic procedure trends as performed by the physicians who are most likely to perform them,” said Dr. Leo McCafferty, MD, president of ASAPS.  “For the past 16 years, the interest in and demand for cosmetic plastic surgery has risen exponentially, a 250% increase in surgical and nonsurgical procedures, and our comprehensive statistics continue to show that.”

Common Male Body Problems in San Diego

1. Man boobs, also known as gynecomastia, is quite common yet undetected amongst men. Diet and exercise are often futile with fatty male breasts and male breast reduction surgery is the only way to reduce its appearance. Liposuction is also recommended to reduce man boobs.

2. Beer Belly is the enlargement of the lower gut which seem to be resistant to exercise and diet, too. While genetics could play a role in the development of beer bellies, a tummy tuck or liposuction are often excellent alternatives in getting rid of the unsightly large gut.

3. Facial Wrinkles and Sagging Eyelids are common among middle-aged men. A couple of Botox sessions, facelift, or eyelid surgery are recommended to treat sagging skin in the facial area.
