Real plastic and cosmetic surgery is one of the fastest developing sectors in modern day medicine; dental procedures and many reconstructive procedures also fall into this category and it is now as common and acceptable for men as it is for women. The transformation on the patient's bodies has become perfected to the point where most people would not even known they have had plastic surgery. New methods are being continually developed that can alter and reshape different parts of the body to your liking or preference.

Why do people use plastic surgery?

People not only use plastic or cosmetic surgery to look younger, prettier or feel better about the way they look, it is also used to reconstruct a natural or accidental physical imperfection, improving the appearance and function of body parts affected by congenital defects, injuries and diseases such as cancer. Some examples of this kind of surgery are: people born with excessively protruding ears (an otoplasty could be done in this case, a simple surgery to pin back the ears), or men born with gynecomastia (an excess of breast tissue) that is easily dealt with through reduction surgery.  Or simply the boy that has his chin re-built after being bitten by a dog.
 
Postoperative surveys find that people tend to perceive benefits including:

- Greater self confidence and higher self- esteem
- Improved social lives, sex lives and interpersonal relationships
- Increased rankings in their work place, promotions or getting the job that they wanted.
