It is no secret that plastic surgery is extremely popular among Americans. Women undergo significantly more plastic surgery procedures than men, and the most popular procedures for women are designed to improve the appearance of their bodies. Men undergo procedures to sculpt their bodies and change their faces. Both men and women undergo liposuction and eyelid surgery. Liposuction is a procedure that plastic surgeons perform to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body. Blepharoplasty is a procedure in which surgeons tighten the skin around the eyes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Women
In addition to blepharoplasty and liposuction, which are popular among men, women also undergo breast augmentation and reduction, as well as tummy tucks at a high rate. Breast augmentation allows women who are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts to change the way they look. On the other side of things, women who have overly large breasts suffer from back and neck problems. Breast reduction allows surgeons to reduce the size of the breasts to improve these health problems. The tummy tuck procedure is common in women who have had children. Pregnancy causes the stomach skin to stretch out, and in many cases it does not shrink back after childbirth. Tummy tuck surgery allows surgeons to remove the excess skin and reveal a flatter, smoother stomach.
