To keep up with their younger counterparts at the office‚ more and more male boomers go through plastic surgery. Breast-reduction‚ liposuction‚ lip augmentation would be increasing by 20% a year.
Once considered a woman's domain‚ cosmetic surgery is increasingly attracting men keen on remaining competitive in the workplace‚ improving their love lives or getting rid of physical hangups. With procedures for droopy eyelids‚ bulging love handles and over-sized breasts‚ more men are trying to enhance their looks and stack the odds in their favour. Philip Haeck‚ 53‚ a plastic surgeon in Washington state‚ says he's seen a 19 per cent increase in male clients during the past five years. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons‚ the number of cosmetic procedures on men grew by 16 per cent between 2000 and 2005‚ with breast reduction‚ tummy tuck‚ lip augmentation‚ eyelid surgery and liposuction among the most popular.

Oh, this actually reminds me of an episode from Nip/Tuck season 4 (can't remember the name of it but I just ordered the DVD's so I'll find out soon)
This just shows that cosmetic surgery is not totally a womens thing. Many men today are very much conscious about how they look. Like women, men also need the kind of confidence they need. It would be expected that the number of men who are indulging in cosmetic surgery will continue to increase year after year.
