Clay Aiken Admits to Plastic Surgery

Posted March 29, 2012 in Skin Procedures

Back in January, I wrote a blog about rumors circulating the internet that Clay Aiken had underwent cosmetic surgery on his face. Aiken, who turns 34 this year, has finally put those rumors to bed. Canadian newspaper, Toronto Sun, is reporting that Aiken has owned up to his surgery.

“Singer Clay Aiken has come clean about his cosmetic surgery makeover for the new season of U.S. reality show Celebrity Apprentice,” reports Toronto Sun. “He revealed, ‘I had surgery on my jaw for a TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) disorder thing and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there.'” The American Idol runner up made his liposuction confession on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. And, Aiken isn't alone. According to the most recent male cosmetic surgical data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction is the third most popular cosmetic surgery among men.

Other Common Procedures Among Men

Clay Aiken's recent admission brings to light an interesting fact — more men are seeking plastic surgery. As thousands and thousands of men are choosing to go under the knife, the taboo of male plastic surgery is becoming a thing of the past.

Here are a few of the most popular cosmetic procedures among men today:

• Blepharoplasty: Men looking to achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance often choose an Eyelid Lift, also known as blepharoplasty. The procedure removes excess fat, skin and muscle from the eyelids, and many men find that it takes years off their appearance.
• Facelift: Facelift Surgery continues to be one of the most popular and effective cosmetic surgeries among men today. During a facelift, we tighten underlying muscles and redrape the skin around the neck and face.
• Rhinoplasty: One of the most time-tested cosmetic procedures is Nose Surgery, or “rhinoplasty.” This procedure is most commonly used to enhance a nose that appears too large on the face, has a bump on the nasal bridge, seems too wide or appears crooked.
