“Dude, Where’s my Botox?”

Men and cosmetic surgery, an unlikely pair? Not so much.

Fort Lauderdale plastic surgeon, Dr. Wigoda of the Aesthetics Institute says, “About 20 percent of my patients are male.”

The Fort Lauderdale/Miami plastic surgeon offers pectoral implant surgery and sees male patients for a variety of cosmetic procedures.
“Men come to my office interested in everything from nose jobs to injectables,” said Dr. Wigoda.

According to the 2007 cosmetic surgery trends study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Wigoda is not alone by noticing an increase in male cosmetic surgery.  Statistics show the number of American men enduring a little “nip and tick” is on the rise.

The top 4 cosmetic procedures for men in 2007 were:

•    Rhinoplasty (nose jobs)
•    Eyelid surgery
•    Liposuction
•    Male breast reduction

After all, looking good isn’t gender specific.

Dr. Wigoda’s breast augmentation services at The Aesthetics Institute are among the best in the country, and he has been voted the “The Best Cosmetic Surgeon in Fort Lauderdale”. His attentiveness to patients and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure their comfort and satisfaction has earned him rave reviews among those who have had his services.

Dr. Wigoda works with each patient individually to determine the best surgical plan, and determines what type of augmentation procedure is best for their anatomy. His surgical facilities are fully accredited by the American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). This certification is considered the “gold standard” in cosmetic surgery facility certification.

Pharmawire is a news wire service dedicated to reporting the latest news in the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Wigoda was featured as an expert source in their feature article on trends in breast implants, and the effect the economy has on cosmetic surgery decisions.
Dr Wigoda expressed that breast augmentation and liposuction are highly sensitive to changes in the economy.  Dr. Wigoda said that the economy is “definitely affecting the surgical procedures” that patients choose to have and that other physicians have noticed similar trends.
Physicians continue to report that rising oil prices, the rising credit crisis, and general fears of an economic recession continue to effect patient’s decisions to have cosmetic surgery.

With designers shortening hemlines and taking in seams, liposuction is becoming a South Florida weight loss must-have to keep trendsetters up to date.

According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Americans had about 456,000 procedures in 2007 making liposuction the most popular surgical operation to enhance looks.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes deposits of excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia by the tumescent or ultrasonic technique used to help break up the fat deposits.

Liposuction is an ideal body contouring solution for patients near or already at their ideal weight. Many South Floridians are turning to plastic surgery to improve their looks when diet and exercise are not enough.
