More Females Visit Cosmetic Surgeons

So a little more on the recent AACS study that we mentioned yesterday. It appears that whilst two percent fewer males visited cosmetic surgeons in 2008 there was an increase in female visits to the tune of a whopping twenty nine percent. So whilst it appears males have been cutting back on cosmetic surgery procedures in the States their female counterparts most certainly have not.

The report highlights that ladies have been undergoing less invasive procedures, possibly because they cost less and have a quicker recovery time. Procedures that fit into these categories include Botox and resurfacing via laser. Laser resurfacing has also benefited from a considerable decrease in price to the tune of $460 since 2001.

The report goes on to point out that over the last 3 years there has been a significant increase in both males and females undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures. Male patients have increased by a massive four hundred and sixty percent whilst female patients have increased by two hundred and fifteen percent. Plainly whilst the market for male procedures may be cooling off slightly at the moment, over a longer time frame the increases remain very impressive. No doubt the industry for male cosmetic surgery procedures will continue to improve apace once the economy starts recovering again......when that will be.......who knows.
