Scottsdale, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/20/2010 -- Dr. Brian Olack, the leading plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Scottsdale, Arizona, http://www.olackplasticsurgery.com, is developing a national and international base of gay patients who want to take advantage of new medicines and new aesthetic procedures to looking better, healthier, and younger. Olack, who recently moved from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida explained why he believes gay patients are so enthusiastic about his work.
Dr. Olack said, “The gay community often has patients who are very knowledgeable and very sure of what they desire in cosmetic results. I have found that in general, gay patients are very focused on their own recovery. While some criticize the attention to physical appearance often reported about members of the gay community, I take pride in being open and available to all patients…I take a very patient-centric approach to care. I’ve simply found that gay cosmetic surgery patients have taken an active role in the procedure and their recovery too.”
More than 100,000 Americans a year having liposuction; it is now the No. 1 cosmetic surgery procedure in America in part because of a rise in interest from men. Over the past fifteen years the proportion of men having liposuction has increased from 10 percent to 40 percent. In 2011, it is estimated that the number of male patients will outnumber women having the procedure.
There are no statistics on the sexual orientation of plastic surgery patients; recent data indicates a majority of male patients are gay men after a gym physique. Despite regular workouts and a prohibition on fatty foods and limited carbohydrates, gay men are increasingly having plastic surgeons, like Dr. Olack, create the desired waistline via liposuction.
Liposuction is also used in treating gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement. Candidates for this procedure generally have genetically determined fat deposits in the breast area or are on high doses of anabolic steroids or certain ulcer medications. Liposuction for gynecomastia is one of very few cosmetic procedures that may be covered by health insurance.
