Trends in Plastic Surgery for Men (U.S. News) "It's abundantly clear from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery report, for example, that plenty of men want to pretty up these days. The number of men per year seeking out sclerotherapy (a saline injection that aims to remove spider veins), for example, has increased 226 percent over five years, laser resurfacing increased 172 percent, skin-softening microdermabrasion 159 percent, Botox 42 percent, and eyelid surgery called blepharoplasty 35 percent, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery."
"According to the survey, 10 percent fewer men get invasive cosmetic procedures now than did five years ago. The number of men seeking hair restoration surgery, for example, has dropped 48 percent since 2002, rhinoplasty procedures (better known as nose jobs) have fallen by 26 percent, and face-lifts by 8 percent." 07-08
