Men Have Joined The Craze

Monday April 17, 2006 in: Cut the Gut Tag(s):

Peeps without so much spare time for workouts opt to resort to quick fixes for their problematic body parts. Well, if you have the money and don't have the time, then perhaps liposuction has really been made just for you.

This is quite the scenario in America as of the moment when the economy is fairly stable. More and more people have been into cosmetic surgical procedures in the recent years. However, year 2005 appears to propel the craze to an impressive level as statistics concerning plastic surgery stressed that the number of procedures performed increased to 11 percent compared to the ones done in 2004.

Well, is this an indication that Americans are now getting more and more comfortable under the knife? Or it's just that plastic surgery results, especially liposuction, have been tremendously good, thus, it won the trust of a large number of people? Oh, and before I forget, did I already reveal the Champion of all cosmetic procedures in 2005? Well, it might already be obvious, but anyway, liposuction again bagged the most popular and most sought-after procedure in the previous year.

Female Tummy This year, I expect a landslide victory for liposuction again. The presence of new techniques to enhance the way the procedure is done would certainly elevate its position more among other surgical procedures. Now, liposuction has joined the family of laser-assisted procedures such as eye surgery and stretch mark and tattoo removal, and that move is appropriately called as laser liposuction. The inclusion of laser in the scene has paved the way to a much efficient and a less cumbersome manner of getting the right results since less damage is done to the surrounding tissues compared to the traditional liposuction. Other side effects can also be avoided, thanks to this laser technology.

Okay, so this remarkable innovation is good, but are a lot of men really into this kind of thing? Byron Kempel of AskMen.com has this to say:

In fact, it was about 10 years ago that Dr. Kenneth Dolynchuk noticed an upsurge in the amount of men coming to his Winnipeg liposuction clinic, Maples Surgical Center. Perhaps the men had seen their wives go under the knife and come back happier.

Perhaps the same wives were renting an inordinate amount of George Clooney and Brad Pitt videos, and asking their husbands (who, of course, controlled the remote) to pause the film just when the actors pulled off their shirts.

Plastic surgery alternatives like liposuction has undoubtedly given a lot of people a new sense of hope that they too can look good and feel good about themselves. Sometimes, it is not actually the physical end results that matter most when you look at the whole situation in a different angle. More often than not, the intangible benefits [emotional and psychological] of these procedures take more weight than what meets the eye.
