Plastic Surgery for Men - A Growing Trend
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Today’s modern man, often known as the
metrosexual man, no longer needs to hide the fact that he cares about his
appearance. Where, once upon a time, cosmetic surgery typically applied mainly
to women, an increasing number of men are now going under the knife in order to
achieve the perfect look. In fact according to the results of a recent study
undertaken by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS),15% of its
patients are now male and around 20% of clients requesting Botox injections are
men.
So why is it all of a sudden acceptable
for men to enter what was previously only thought of as a woman’s world? Maybe
it has something to do with celebrities such as David Beckham, Ashton Kutcher,
Zac Efron and many, many more making it not only acceptable, but incredibly
cool to be a modern metrosexual man who cares about his appearance. Or could it
be more to do with the increasing number of women voicing their admiration for
a man who likes to take care of himself and his appearance? Slobs are most
definitely not on the dating agenda where today’s women are concerned.
But exactly how far are men prepared to
go? Some further than others, that’s for sure. For, despite what current trends
might suggest, some men will still look upon cosmetic procedures as vain, not
for real men and embarrassing. However, for those who can afford it and are not
afraid to go for what they want, cosmetic treatments are definitely on the
rise. So, what are the options? What is becoming not only acceptable, but
popular.
Nose Reshaping
Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) was one of
the first cosmetic procedures to become widely accepted among the male
population, and continues to be one of the most popular procedures to date. No
longer do men need to go through life lacking in confidence and being ridiculed
for an “imperfect” nose.
Chin Implants
Chin implants are becoming increasingly
popular as men seeking that chiseled, masculine look will undoubtedly be
seeking a strong, manly chin. Chin implants can make your chin larger or just
improve the shape to suit the type of face you have, allowing your features to
appear more proportionate and balanced. Chin implants can change your entire
look and are often combined with other procedures in order to achieve good
facial symmetry.
Eye Bag Removal or Eye Lift Surgery
Another popular procedure for men
wishing to appear younger than their years is the eye bag removal or eye lift.
The stresses of everyday life, hard work, lack of sleep, too much sun, smoking
or some hereditary factors can all contribute to the eyes sagging, resulting in
premature aging.
Chest/Breast Reduction
Men have often said that one of the most
embarrassing body defects to be cursed with is a large chest – i.e. man boobs,
or moobs, as they’re sometimes referred to. These fatty deposits can develop
around the chest during puberty and often disappears with age; however, it can
also remain into adulthood.
Weight loss and aging can also cause the
chest to look saggy. An increasing number of men are looking towards male
breast reduction surgery in order to address this problem. A chest reduction
involves liposuction to remove excess fat and sometimes also the removal of
glandular tissue or loose skin. This surgery can greatly improve self-esteem,
and provide men with a new lease of life and level of confidence that can far
outweigh the cost of surgery.
