Cosmetic surgery appeals to men in greater numbers

Today, men make up over one-fifth of patients who elect to undergo cosmetic surgery, a vast increase since 2002.

Men are gradually becoming more amenable to plastic surgery procedures, and now 21 percent of patients are male.

The annual review of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) has found that men are most likely to have liposuction.

The vast majority of procedures were non-surgical services, including chemical peels and laser resurfacing (66 percent) as opposed to surgical operations (34 percent).

Botox is the most popular procedure among the non-surgical treatments, permitting patients to plump up their skin and keep a youthful look.

In addition, patients went for facelifts, forehead lifts and blepharoplasty (removing fat from around the eyelids).

Last month, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons released a report that anticipated the data in the American research. The BAAPS found that men had rhinoplasty more often than any other procedure.
