Did you know that there are more American men than women nowadays who approve of cosmetic surgery? Men are in favor of undergoing this kind of surgery as shown by the Consumers Attitudes Survey 2008 of American Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Research by 1% compared to women that is, 57% of men and 56% of women. Cosmetic surgery has been more and more accepted to almost all people from all walks of life. It is not gender-specific as revealed by the statistics widely available in the internet, books, and other media sources. Moreover, it is gradually known that not only well-off people but even those from the middle strata find ways to be in style with the latest trend today that is Cosmetic Surgery.

It just shows that not only technology changes but so do people’s perception specifically of what is pleasing and beautiful to the eyes Cosmetic surgery is not a trend that has emerged just recently. In fact, it has been within our culture even before we have known it. If we look back at our history, men and women (though there are more women during that time) have been guided and forced to conform to their cultural norms. Traces of these are neck rings, nose and ear stretching, foot binding, and mouth plates were common things to them. Tattoos and other skin mutilation were popular especially to tribal men as these things increased their social standing.
