In 2006, an American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) survey of members revealed that 86% of their surgeons were in agreement that patients were “more educated about plastic surgery.” While that’s great news, if you’re a man who’s just beginning to research a cosmetic procedure, you’re probably wondering where to start:

    • Search Google, and you’ll receive well over a hundred thousand results for “plastic surgery for men”
    • Search Amazon, and you’ll find very few books dedicated to male plastic surgery

It can become either overwhelming or downright discouraging. Don’t let it, because the good news is you’ve found this site, and it’s a fantastic resource. The great news is there are more sites dedicated to helping you to make an educated decision about your body; you just need to know where to look. Well, look no further, because here are three great sources of information: the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Guy’s Guide to Plastic Surgery for Men and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

As you educate yourself about your options, please keep in mind that it’s important to not only research the cosmetic procedure you’re interested in, but also the plastic surgeon or dermatologist who will perform it. Also, please remember…
