title: The ageing face. Stemming the tide with cosmetic surgery.
abstract: Over the past decade there has been growing media focus on cosmetic surgery, with greatly increased public acceptance which has spread through all ethnic groups in our society, especially in second and third generation Australians. The acceptance and desire for male cosmetic surgery is also increasing but not at the level of their female counterparts. Increased requests for cosmetic surgery now cover all socioeconomic groups.
