Plastic surgery is becoming much more popular among aging men who are hoping to reverse the impact of Father Time. Men, especially baby boom...
"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," Dr. Phillip Haeck, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, says in a statement.
"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."
Statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reveal the fastest-growing male cosmetic procedures from 2009 to 2010 were:
- Facelifts, a 14 percent increase.
- Ear surgery, up 11 percent.
- Soft tissue fillers, up 10 percent.
- Botulinum toxin type A, up 9 percent.
- Liposuction, up 7 percent.
- Breast reduction in men, up 6 percent.
- Eyelid surgery, up 4 percent.
- Dermabrasion, up 4 percent.
- Laser hair removal, up 4 percent.
"Typically people think of celebrities and high profile men going under the knife," Dr. Stephen Baker, a plastic surgeon in Washington, D.C., says. "The typical male cosmetic surgery patient that I see is an average guy who wants to look as good as he feels."

Are you prepared for the expenses of cosmetic surgery? Finances can be one of the more difficult obstacles for many people considering undergoing some type of cosmetic procedure. When considering costs and affordability, be sure to include costs for recovery time. For some people recovery may be fairly quick and easy, but for others, depending on the procedure being done and other personal factors, recovery may take longer and may incur more expenses (i.e. medical supplies, missed work, check-ups, etc.). So think realistically and plan ahead; be sure to consider all possible expenses when determining affordability.
