Plastic Surgery for Couples

The Los Angeles Times reports, "Men are often initially introduced (to plastic surgery) when they come in with their wives, who are looking at having this or that done. When the husband is in there, he sees some of the information, and then he sort of gets interested. Then, when the wife comes in for a postoperation appointment, we'll talk about his eyes or neck."
Lipoplasty is enormously popular for both men and women. In 2011, more than 300,000 lipoplastys were performed in the United States, surpassing [link id='86'] as the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for the first time since 2008, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
But although coupled men and women may have their procedures done around the same time, what they're having done may differ. The most common areas of men's lipoplasty are the abdomen, chest and chin. For women, it's all over.
Rounding out the list of top anti-aging cosmetic surgical procedures for women are [link id='112'] and cosmetic [link id='45']. For men, it's [link id='45'] and [link id='127'], or male breast reduction, according to the ASAPS.
If cosmetic surgery is, to some extent, about keeping up with the Joneses, there's no more important Jones than a spouse. Psychologically, there's just something unsettling about a man and a wife who are aging out of sync.
