Plastic surgery has been growing in popularity each year, which is surprising because most procedures are paid for out of the patient’s pocket. It’s no wonder that more and more people are seeking out plastic surgeons when you consider our selfie-obsessed culture. With the prevalence of photo-editing apps and Snapchat filters, we were bound to get to this point. Plastic surgery has never been easier, less invasive, or even inclusive as the amount of men undergoing the knife each year continues to increase.

The most popular plastic surgery procedures include:

1. Botox

Botox is probably one of the best things to hit the market in decades. Not only is it safe, but this wrinkle treatment is one of the most cost-effective ways to remove the appearance of wrinkles with only one visit. It is not a permanent treatment so going back to get it touched up every 4 or 5 months or so will be required, but the results make this procedure so effective. For users of this treatment, there is only smoothing out of the skin as it adds back the plumpness of youth around the forehead, eyes, nose, and mouth. It offers a natural look that does not stretch the skin out like other plastic surgeries and it requires minimal downtime to recover. Frequent “touch-ups” are all that is required to make this treatment work wonders.

2. Liposuction

Everyone wants to lose those extra pounds, especially around the stomach. Sometimes, it is near impossible to do this without a little help, which is why liposuction has become one of the most popular surgeries available. It gives you a head start on weight loss, so you feel in control of your weight while shedding pounds. This is an invasive procedure that requires recovery that can include time away from work and other social engagements. The doctors also often want to know if you can lose some weight on your own before they conduct the surgery. This is so you don’t waste your money just to end up back where you started. This procedure can give you the courage to take control of your weight.

3. Breast Augmentation

Popularized in the 1990s, breast augmentation is still as popular as ever. It involves enlarging or decreasing the size of the breasts, whether to add a small cup or reduce them down to a manageable size. It is either done for cosmetic purposes or to relieve back pain due to their size. It does require some downtime and some insurance will not pay for it.

4. Rhinoplasty

Getting a nose job is very common in this modern age. There are many reasons for this from needing to be able to breath better to just wanting a smaller nose. It does require going under the knife and downtime to recover along with nose and facial swelling, but it is one of the best ways to give yourself a new face without overdoing it. It is also a way to get the nose you have always wanted.
