Traditionally more women opted for cosmetic surgery, but in recent years, men have gone under the knife to enhance their appearance. Society has placed high standards for women to look a certain way, but now men are starting to enhance their appearance to maintain status professionally and socially. Historically men have had a more positive self image than women, but times are changing. The economic meltdown has left many worried about their job and social life. To stay in the competitive job market and dating scene, men want to look and feel the part.
The most popular cosmetic procedures for men were surgical and non-invasive. Gynecomastia, Liposuction, Microdermabrasion, Rhinoplasty, Otoplasty, Laser and IPL treatments were among the most popular for men. Culturally men found that other men who opted for cosmetic surgery were less manly. It's becoming more and more acceptable for men to undergo cosmetic procedures because they also want to reverse the signs of aging and maintain a youthful appearance.
