In Los Angeles, plastic surgery procedures have always been popular.  However, new figures released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that men across the country are electing to get tummy tucks and facelifts now  more than ever. In 2010, plastic surgery for men increased dramatically, with  facelifts for men rising 14%, and male liposuction increasing  7%. Overall, cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in men were up 2% in 2010. ASPS statistics also show that men underwent more than 1.1 million cosmetic procedures overall last year, both minimally-invasive and surgical.
