Male Plastic Surgery: Facts, Costs and Figures [Infographic]

In a recently released infographic Dr. Steinbrech of Men’s Plastic Surgery Manhattan revealed that Male Plastic Surgery is as popular as ever today. Apart from the 106% increase in the last 2 decades, statistics have shown that more than 1,000,000 male individuals received cosmetic surgical procedures.
