Plastic Surgery Trends Among Men

Many think of plastic surgery as something that is just for women. However, over the past several years, data collected by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has found that both surgical and minimally-invasive procedures are growing in popularity among men. In the past few years alone, over one million men per year undergo some form of plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure.

What Type Of Men Are Seeking Plastic Surgery?

Men from all walks of life may seek out plastic surgery and related cosmetic procedures, but typically these patients are self-described as average guys who simply want to look as good as they feel. These are men who are active and enjoy life. Many exercise regularly and feel fit and young, but they aren’t necessarily happy with the way they look. They want to look young, fit and healthy. For many, looking as good as they feel has additional benefits in the workplace and on the dating scene, making them feel more competitive amongst younger peers.
