Golf’s superman Tiger woods will miss the rest of the 2008 season due to additional reconstructive surgery required on his knee, according to SI. The news comes after a grueling win at the US Open this week in which Woods took the trophy with a mere one stroke lead.

According to his Website, Tiger will also use the time off to “rehabilitate a double stress fracture of his left tibia that was discovered last month, just days prior to the Memorial Tournament.” Doctors expect the double fracture to fully heal.

Men may not be as vain as women when it comes to their looks (maybe), but they are gaining ground fast. Guys accounted for 984,903 (nine percent) of all surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in 2005, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery - up from 640,240, five years ago.

Surprisingly, men are more likely than women to seek facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons (22 percent to women’s 15 percent), according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

The most popular procedures for men are liposuction, Botox injections, surgery for lifting eyelids and laser resurfacing and chemical-peel skin treatments - all to make them look younger and fitter. But that doesn’t mean the boys only like to get things done just to captivate the opposite sex.

Here is a breakdown of some of the more popular procedures. Read more

Hey fellas: want to know a sure-fire way to get a chiseled body without foolish, time-wasting activities like exercising and a healthy diet? Want to throw back a six-pack while maintaining some sick, six-pack abs? It can be done - all you have to do is get “abdominal etching,” which is a nice way to say “male liposuction.”

Six-pack surgery is a medical procedure that sucks that extra fat out of your beer gut followed by the etching in of faux-abs, all for the cost of a semester’s tuition. The outcome looks like you lost a couple pounds and applied magic marker to your stomach in hopes of fooling anybody willing to see your obvious lack of physique.

It’s unbelievable that guys would actually go to these extremes. Contrary to popular belief, there are at least three types of girls when it comes to body appreciation: girls who want their man chiseled and defined; girls who love rail-thin body types and girls that can’t get enough of beer-guzzling, hoagie-scarfing men who enjoy enjoying themselves. If you feel inclined to mangle your body with pricey surgery, the most may be better spent on a shrink. Read more
