Cosmetic Procedures for Men

BioCosmetic Center cites findings concluding that women undergo cosmetic procedures more often than men. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery agree. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that of 8.79 million cosmetic procedures completed in the year 2003, 7.4 million were completed for female patients. 1.2 million cosmetic procedures were completed for men.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery statistics over 90% of all cosmetic procedures completed in 2009 were for women (over 9 million total). The traditional stereotype is that cosmetic procedures are only for women. There are a lot of men that benefit drastically from a variety of cosmetic procedures. But that doesn’t mean that the traditional stereotype is unfounded. The majority of patients are still female, but the proffession is seeing more and more men interested in procedures such as liposuction,laser hair removal,acne-scarring, and even wrinkle removal procedures.”

Dr. Guanciale comes on the show to discuss men and cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Jerry Guanciale graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in 1979 with a B.S. degree in Biology. Graduating in the top ten percent of his class from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1986, Dr. Guanciale completed his rotating internship and General Surgery residency at the Grandview Hospital and Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio. After completing his residency program as Chief Resident in 1991, he became board certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery in 1992.

Dr. Guanciale was extensively trained in trauma and minimally invasive surgery during his residency with subsequent rotations in Colorectal Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, Pediatric Surgery at the Children’s Hospital in Dayton, Ohio and Trauma Surgery at Grant Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. His interest in surgically underserved areas and his desire to be able to practice all facets of general, vascular, and gynecologic surgery moved him initially to rural Kentucky and, then to South Carolina.

In 2007, Dr. Guanciale was accepted to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery fellowship program with the Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgical Group in Beverly Hills, California. This highly sought-after program, and its affiliate rotations with respected members of the cosmetic surgery community in the Southern California area, afforded him experience in all facets of general and dermatologic cosmetic procedures, with an emphasis on cutting-edge technologies and patient care.
