According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, tummy tucks and liposuction were among the top five cosmetic surgery procedures sought by patients in 2008. With more than 365,000 Americans opting for these procedures, statistics show that men and women alike are choosing cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance and overall sense of well-being.
“There are many healthy outcomes for patients who have thought long and hard about correcting a physical feature that has plagued them for years,” said Martha S. Matthews, M.D., Head of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Cooper University Hospital. “Both physical and psychological discomfort can be healed through the many options of plastic surgery,” she said.
