The five most popular cosmetic surgical procedures for men in the UK during 2006 were rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, liposuction, ear correction or otoplasty and face / neck lift
Liposuction or liposculpture improves the shape of your body by removing unwanted fat from areas of the body.
Liposuction is most commonly performed on the stomach, thighs and hips, but can also remove fat from the inside of the knees, ankles, upper arms, neck and back.
Liposuction and tummy tucks are not a treatment for weight management or obesity however. They are body contouring procedures for those near or already at their ideal body weight.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery estimates that more than 67,000 people underwent liposuction in the USA last year - and 15,000 of them were men.
