Although American women are nine times more likely to undergo a non-surgical or surgical cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of men undergoing such procedures is on the rise, as is the overall number of patients seeking plastic surgery in the U.S. In fact, the number of surgical procedures in the U.S. increased by about 50 percent in 2009, and the number of non-surgical procedures performed increased by an astounding 231 percent the same year.

As the number of procedures people in the U.S. are seeking continues to rise, so too are the number of surgeons offering to perform such procedures.

Important Notes Regarding Plastic Surgery
While plastic surgery can greatly improve an individual's appearance and, as a result, self-esteem, there are some important aspects of any surgical or non-surgical procedure that patients should be aware of. Some of these include:

• Having realistic expectations of the result of a surgery
• Understanding that obesity can not be treated with plastic surgery, as this serious medical condition is surgically treated via gastric bypass or bariatric surgery when diet and exercise do not promote sufficient weight loss
• Following all of a doctor's recommendations regarding what to do and what not to do during recovery is extremely important to a quick and successful recovery
