Men Are Getting It!

By Clea Spahn


While men still significantly trail women in the number of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures performed nationwide, they are becoming increasing commonplace in more waiting rooms. There has been a recent boom in methods that enhance appearance that are non-surgical, and men are now getting involved.

In most cases, men do not want these procedures to be obvious to people they know, so they do not want any recovery time that would mess with their busy schedules. It has become evident that men have been looking closer at their skin and noticing imperfections, they are interested in looking their best, as well as watching for signs of skin cancer. The more exposure to the sun that someone has had, the less effective the elasticity of the skin will be, and they will look more aged because of this.

The damage that is caused by the sun can be partially repaired and protected using advancements in skin care techniques. It's a simple thing to do after the daily shave with perhaps a bit of a top up at night before retiring.

Rhinoplasty is an operation that men tend to particularly seek out. Usually it's the size of the nose that is the issue, but an uneven or crooked nose are also reasons for the procedure. A general anaesthetic is used in a typical day patient rhinoplasty procedure, and it's about a week until the patient is ready to work and for a couple weeks, there could be some bruising.

Men are more attracted to a procedure that will leave only minimal scars, so they also look at face lifts and neck lifts, and blepharoplasty. However most men don't want that over-done look. In many cases, a man would mind having some wrinkles less than having obvious signs of having undergone a cosmetic procedure.

Despite attention to diet and a vigorous exercise program some men simply can't shift certain deposits of fat. Commonly this is in the flank region or on the abdomen where men tend to carry most of their fat. Shaping of these regions with liposuction can be done as a day patient and return to work the next day is usually possible which can suit the busy male lifestyle.

Accompanying this expanding interest in the muscular athletic male body is a desire for hair removal. The more powerful lasers are much more effective at significantly reducing hair numbers. Preceding the series of procedures to target the troublesome areas of the body, it is recommended that tanning is not done.

Men have these procedures done because of their own concerns, and they are not the same as what motivates women. There is a competitive pressure in the marketplace for men, real or imagined. In order to turn back the clock and look youthful once again, finding a cosmetic surgeon who has treated men and has that experience is wise.
