Facial Plastic Surgery’s New Clients

Men

Plastic surgery is not just for women. In fact, more than 1-in-10 facial plastic surgeries are performed on men. It can help men appear more alert and energetic to effectively compete in the marketplace. In fact, 25% of men who had facial plastic surgery did so for work-related reasons, compared with 10% of women.

Men most often opt for:

  • Cosmetic eyelid surgery to remove puffiness, bags, and hooding
  • Procedures on the nose
  • Botox injections or skin treatments to smooth wrinkles
  • Laser procedures to remove broken capillaries, brown spots, and hair

Children

Your child no longer needs to be teased about facial flaws. The most common procedure for children in our practice is otoplasty (reducing the prominence of the ears). Other common procedures include removal of cysts, birthmarks, and moles, as well as laceration repair. During an initial consultation, your surgeon can discuss optimum ages for various procedures.

Minorities

Caucasians are the biggest customers of facial plastic surgery. But consider these figures for the increased use of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery among minorities between 1999 and 2001:

  • 340% increase for Asian-Americans
  • 323% increase for African-Americans
  • 200% increase for Hispanics
  • 34% increase for Caucasians

A major factor for increased use in non-Caucasian groups are medical advances greatly reduce the risk of scarring, known as keloids, among dark-skinned patients.
