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.

Most men want a fast recovery time, and for the procedure to be unnoticed by their friends, family and coworkers, they want the process to fit into their life with ease. 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. 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.

Modern skin care can both protect the skin and improve a lot of the damage that has been done by the sun. 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. Many times a larger sized nose is bothersome to the man, and other times it's a crooked or oddly shaped feature that is the issue. 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. Usually, men prefer that these processes are not obvious at all. In many cases, a man would mind having some wrinkles less than having obvious signs of having undergone a cosmetic procedure.

Fat is targeted in men using exercise and proper diet regimes, but even so, there are still some areas that have fat remaining. An over abundance of fat appears on the abdomen or flank of men, and these are the main areas of concern. 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.

Whatever men do, they tend to do it for reasons different from those of 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.
