Considering plastic surgery after your divorce? You’re not alone. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 12.1 million people had plastic surgery in 2008 alone.

For many patients, a divorce or other dramatic life change was a motivating factor in their decisions to receive treatment. More than 40 percent of women in a national survey conducted by the National Women’s Health Resource Center sought to improve their physical appearance after a divorce or other significant life transition.

“Potential patients typically fall into one of two categories. “There are people who have always been unsatisfied with their appearance – these people have rhinoplasties (nasal surgery) for large noses, chin implants for small chins, and ear setbacks for protruding ears,”. “And then there are those people who were happy with their appearance when they were young but are disturbed by the changes of aging. These people might have facelifts or eyelid lifts, and also abdominoplasties (tummy tucks) and breast lifts.”

A guy thing, too

Women are not the only ones receiving plastic surgery, however. “Plastic surgery among men is getting more and more popular. It’s become more acceptable for men to be concerned about appearance,”. Men, who comprised nine percent of all patients in 2008, most often receive nose reshaping, eyelid surgery and liposuction, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

In addition to improving physical appearance, plastic surgery can also alter a patient’s self esteem and outlook on life. “Plastic surgery can improve how a person looks and feels about themselves,”. “I have seen patients at all times of their lives – not just (after) divorce – who become more confident and feel better.”

More Men Seek Plastic Surgery

Every year more than 800,000 men have a plastic surgery procedure done and the number is growing. But the bodies, goals and temperament of men are different from those of women. Men are impatient with long recovery periods, and often seek plastic surgery to remain professionally competitive. Facelift and rhinoplasty procedures that work well on women tend to feminize men, who need techniques that will ensure a masculine look with less recovery time.

7 Things Men Should Know About Plastic Surgery

1. Liposuction can remove love-handles that even gym rats can’t shed; it is also excellent for removing fatty breast tissue and giving men back the abs they had in college.

2. Liposuction can remove localized fat deposits that the gym can’t touch.

3. Results from liposuction will be best if men continue regular workouts at the gym after the procedure.

4. When men do go for facelifts, their thicker skin means they need a unique procedure — less pulling of the skin itself, which tends to become overly thin when pulled, and more work tightening the deeper tissues of the face.

5.  Men often have more resilient skin than women, so it tends to shrink better following the procedure. This allows for more fat removal in some men during liposuction.

6. Calf implants and pectoral implants tend to migrate with time and have other problems. Better to use liposuction to sculpt the surrounding areas, and make the pecs and calves appear more distinct.

7. A chemical peel, which can be done without general anesthetic, is not a “facial” and can get rid of fine lines and blotchiness that make sportsmen look older than their years.
