5 . It ’ s been determined by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ( ASPS ) that plastic surgery has become more popular among men in 2019 , and the trend is growing in the United States . How prevalent would you say male plastic surgery is now , and as a specialist in male plastic surgery , how prevalent do you foresee it to become ? Why do you think it is a growing trend ?
In the next 5 to 10 years , I expect that to climb to between 35 % and 45 %. This is a growing trend because men are wanting to take better care of their bodies and they ’ re wanting to fight gravity and fight aging more than ever . Also , with recent events they are wanting to stay as healthy and trim as possible to fight off potential threats . It ’ s also a growing trend because these techniques were never taught to new surgeons and they were never offered to patients , so the patients never really knew that they were available .
