Men, meanwhile, are not rushing under the knife. In the past two years, the number of assorted cosmetic procedure performed on males has dropped by 7 percent since 2005, with "nose reshaping" the most popular, followed by eyelid surgery, liposuction and hair transplants. With more than a million cosmetic procedures last year, men constitute less than 9 percent of cosmetic surgery patients, according to the ASPS. Facelifts for men are down by 39 percent since 2000, liposuction by a third. Male breast-reduction surgery, however, is up by 22 percent in that time period. The ladies present a different profile. The number of cosmetic procedures performed on women has risen 9 percent in the past two years, with breast implants in the lead, followed by liposuction, nose reshaping and eyelid surgery. With almost 10 million cosmetic enhancements, women make up more than 90 percent of the patient population. The number of breast lifts has risen by 96 percent in the past seven years, the number of breast augmentations by 55 percent. Such numbers resonate in the business. Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery -- adjacent to Chanel, Dior and Tiffany & Co. in Beverly Hills, Calif., -- has opened the nation's first Breast Augmentation Information Center within the 5,000-square foot, boutique-style office. "We designed our center to combine the convenience of storefront shopping with what I call the 'Four Seasons treatment,' " said director Dr. Lloyd M. Krieger, who offers patients advice on a "lifestyle overhaul," including hairstyle and spa treatments.
