Men Get It Too : Plastic surgery is gaining in popularity among men

While the lion's share of clientele for cosmetic procedures are women, apparently men aren't content to let them be the beautiful ones anymore. Liposuction, rhinoplasty and face-lifts are increasing in popularity among American male consumers, according to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times.

Plastic surgery for men

The article reported a 121% increase of incidences of invasive and nonsurgical procedures on men in 2011, compared to 1997 figures.

In Asia, men tend to eschew cosmetic surgery, but the trend is changing, with young men in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea seeking surgical and nonsurgical procedures to boost their chances on the job market.  These procedures include hair implants, nose jobs, eyelid surgeries and jawline definition.

Many Japanese and South Korean men are also reportedly seeking penile enlargements so they don't feel ashamed when at public baths.
