Men Are Getting It!

By Clea Spahn


There is still a big difference when it comes to the women and men having cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery, but the number of men considering these options is increasing. Non-surgical techniques of improving one's appearance are becoming more widely accepted, and men have become more open about having them.

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. Nowadays, men pay more attention to how their skin appears due to the higher awareness of skin cancer, and of course men also like to improve their appearance when they can. It's also easier to see that the more sun exposed are also the most aged and this is no surprise given the deleterious effect of UV light on the skin's elastic network.

Future sun damage can be reduced, and damage from the past can be repaired as much as possible. After shaving each day is a good time to quickly apply it, and before bed a little more could be applied.

For men, one of the more popular types of procedures is rhinoplasty. Usually it's the size of the nose that is the issue, but an uneven or crooked nose are also reasons for the procedure. Rhinoplasty is generally performed as a day patient under a general anaesthetic and return to work is possible after a week but some bruising may persist for as long as two weeks.

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. Men do not wish to look like a lot of work has been done. With men in general, less is more and they would rather accept a few lines than have a conspicuous post-surgical appearance that makes them self-conscious.

No matter what some men seem to do to reduce fat in certain areas, like a good diet and active lifestyle, some of it seems to remain. Commonly this is in the flank region or on the abdomen where men tend to carry most of their fat. Men can usually return to work the day after having a liposuction procedure, as it's a day procedure that will help to reduce excess fat in these regions.

Men who wish to have a highly sculpted athletic physique may also be interested in hair removal procedures. Using the latest advances in laser technology, hair removal has become more and more effective in recent years. For the selected areas of the body, several treatments are needed, and one should avoid tanning before undergoing this process.

The reasons men decide to have these procedures done is not always the same as why women do it. In the world of business, competitiveness is big, and how someone looks is part of it. Men want to look like a younger version of themselves, so it is recommended that men seek out a cosmetic surgeon who has experience working on men.
