There has been a dramatic rise in the number of men seeking both surgical and noninvasive cosmetic procedures during the past several years. Mirroring this national trend, our practice has seen an increase in men exploring how a cosmetic procedure can help them gain an edge in a competitive world.

Why the Increase in Male Plastic Surgery?

Every patient has his own reasons to pursue plastic surgery. Some patients seek a competitive edge while pursing new employment. Others look to make improvements in their appearance prior to re-entering the dating scene or to boost self-confidence.

The historic cultural stigmatism associated with plastic surgery for men has faded over time largely due to increased media coverage of prominent male celebrities electing to have procedures performed.

Statistics on Male Plastic Surgery

Recent statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for 2012 confirms that men are increasingly electing cosmetic surgical procedures:

  • 1.25 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men in 2012
  • There has been a 22% increase in the number of cosmetic procedures elected by men from 2000 to 2012
  • In 2012 men accounted for 9% of all cosmetic procedures performed

Most Popular Male Cosmetic Procedures

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reveals the most popular male cosmetic and surgical procedures in 2012 were:

  • Rhinoplasty
  • Cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
  • Liposuction
  • Male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery)
  • Facelift
