The proportion of plastic surgeries associated involving butt implants, lifting, shaping and augmentation of any other kind, in the United States has been rising over the past few years, according to a recently released report. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has recently revealed that the fastest-growing type of plastic surgery across the nation involves butt implants and lifts. The figures released for 2015 showed that males are equally interested in plastic surgeries. The ASPS stated that over 40% of breast reduction surgeries are carried out on men.

The surgeries pertaining to the rear end were 1,356 in the year 2000, and this number increased by 252% to 4,767 by 2015. The main type of surgeries performed on the buttocks in 2015 included around 15,000 buttock augmentations with fat grafting procedures, an increase of 28% as compared to 2014. In addition, buttock lifting surgeries increased by 36 % to nearly 4,800 in 2015, while butt implantation procedures as compared to 2014, rose by 36% in 2015.

In 2015, breast reduction procedures carried out on males increased by 5% and 35% as compared to 2014 and 2000 respectively to over 27,000.

"As plastic surgery is becoming more common and accepted in men, we're seeing more of them undergo procedures to tighten and tone problem areas, like the breasts," said Dr. David Song, the President of ASPS.

Dr. Song added that these surgeries are undertaken more by younger males who experience genetic issues associated with the size and shape of their breasts. These surgeries are undertaken when a suitable procedure tends to make considerable difference in their body image.

Looking a more holistic picture, the nation has witnessed a significant shift in the types of cosmetic procedures being performed and being chosen by people since last 15 years. The number of plastic surgeries has increased by 115% during the period from 2000 to 2015. Surgical and less altering cosmetic procedures in the US during 2015 increased 2% to 15.9 million as compared to 2014.
