Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Plastic Surgery For Men
August 2008
The authors of this report hold that plastic surgery for men has traditionally focused on “function over form,” since male plastic surgery patients were not often as concerned with their appearance as their female counterparts. It has historically been much more uncommon for men to consider facial rejuvenation surgery, or a face lift, than it has been for women. Typically, when a man requested this type of cosmetic plastic surgery, he would do so because of functional concerns that were arising due to the effects of aging.

A large percentage of the surgeries being undertaken for women and for men in these communities are facial surgery procedures, often rhinoplasty. As demand for cosmetic surgeries among latinos escalates, it becomes increasingly important to understand the unique needs of this population in order to offer them the best available options in plastic surgery that fit the social and cultural demands that are arising.
