Journal Article
Changing Aesthetic Surgery Interest in Men: An 18-Year Analysis
2023
Overview
Background
Historically, men have been shamed if they cared seemingly too much about their appearance and especially, if they pursued aesthetic surgery. However, due to the changing landscape of the culture, this stigma has seemed to decrease. Men have diverse and quickly changing interests in particular procedures that have not been readily explored in the currently available reports. To examine this, we analyzed interest in specific plastic surgery procedures in men over the last two decades using the Google Trends tool.
Methods
The most common cosmetic procedures were chosen from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website and served as the search terms for the Google Trends tool from 2004 to 2021. All 19 procedures were examined for overall trends and for changes in the last decade through comparing the data in bisected time periods.
Results
Interest in all plastic surgery procedures in men increased since 2004 except for breast reduction. Most notably, jawline filler, Botox, microneedling, lip filler, chemical peel, CoolSculpting, and butt lift had the largest trend increases. In the last decade, all procedures showed a significant increase in interest.
Conclusions
While surgical volume data are valuable, our study shows that Google Trends is a beneficial tool to predict quickly changing and specific trends, especially as the patient population of plastic surgery grows with increased diversity and generational changes. Our study shows that there is an increase in male-centered plastic surgery procedures, especially nonsurgical facial procedures. Male interest in plastic surgery will continue to increase with time.
