Women are not the only creatures in vain these days - more and more men are resorting to plastic surgery in an attempt to improve their appearance, but by using artificial and painful manner. But while some men choose to go under the knife for purely personal or aesthetic reasons, while others take the plunge because they believe it will enhance their professional career - and make them more powerful - or at least more attractive - to be taken with.
The sad fact is, men want the same things that women want: to look younger, fitter and thinner, with regular, even features and a healthy glow. They have begun to realize that in today's competitive market, looking tired and ravaged with drooping eyelids, dark circles and a weak chin just will not cut it. And if they have large breasts and a flabby belly to boot - well forget about being a Vice President in the company, let alone the CEO.
It is estimated that the market for personal care for men is worth more than $ 3.5 trillion in these days, with more and more members of the male species going under the knife for cosmetic reasons. In a study of the population of the male persuasion performed by - not surprisingly - a plastic surgeon, it was found that:
* Four percent felt that their physical attractiveness will affect their success on the job, and make them feel more powerful
* 42 percent believed their careers would be better if they could just improve a little thing on their face
* 32 percent felt that see young will affect their job performance more positively
Plastic Fantastic
Here is a list of the most popular plastic procedures for men, in random order:
* Gynecomastia or Male Breast Reduction. It is estimated that around 15 percent of all men are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts, and now some are finally doing something about it.Men develop man boobs or mobs, for a variety of reasons, including hormonal changes, steroid abuse and drastically overweight. Surgery to get rid of them sometimes involves a full service, while sometimes means using the latest in liposuction combined with laser surgery.
* Eyelid Surgery Surgery. Also known as blepharoplasty for men, the procedure may be purely cosmetic, functional or both. It seeks to identify both the hanging upper eyelid and swollen bags under her eyes. Usually performed under local anesthesia right, it trims away excess fat, muscle and skin, with the remaining bits reattached in a manner that makes the eye area seem younger and more updated. The result: a tighter, more rigid eyelid and smoother under-eye areas.
* Pectoral Enhancement. Men who have tried everything but still have a chicken breast is now dependent on pectoral implants to give them the Bosom they have always dreamed of. If no amount of exercise and diet have made your chest appear smaller than concave, your surgeon can insert implants made of silicone just below the chest muscle to make the site appear more complete. Requires general anesthesia and an overnight hospital stay - much as a boob job (ED: what is the difference?).
* Nose Job, Rhinoplasty alias. Performed using a local or general anesthetic, depending on what needs to be done, and personal preferences, this is an out-patient procedure that can greatly affect a person's appearance. Costs will vary, but the vast majority of men who choose this up says it is money well spent. Men can have Rhinoplasty from the age of 15 girls from 13 years (that is when their nose stops growing, obviously!).
* Liposuction. This method of weight loss involves using a needle to literally suck the fat from your body. In men, problem areas normally breasts, love handles, abdomen, thighs and neck.Small incision, so the vast majority of people if not all, will not even know you have had the procedure performed. Some men even get it done on my back ...
* Hair Transplants. Many guys think that nothing makes them look less manly than a lack of hair. Male pattern baldness affects many people, so if you can not stand your head like a ping-pong ball, this may be the treatment of choice. It is relatively simple: your surgeon will take the "donor" hair from the sides or back of your scalp, so surgery to insert them into the bald spots where it will hopefully start to grow. Then again, you can just buy a tasteful hat ...
* Chin and Jawline Augmentation Surgery. Nothing clarifies the weakness of a man more than having a weak chin - or so advocates for chin surgery would have us believe. As a strong chin and jawline regarded as a sign of a "real" man, many men seek to correct their, when they fall flat (or curved, flabby and soft). Surgery consists of different types of chin implants that make your jaw more angular and square.
* Penis Extension Surgery. If slicing through the penile ligaments sounds appealing, it is the surgery for you. This operation, also known as phalloplasty or male enhancement surgery, can not get your members more massive, it just makes it dangle below. You may prefer a second - and far more invasive - procedure in which fat from another part of your body is injected into your Johnson to increase its circumference. Yowee!
Non-invasive cosmetic treatments for men
Apart from full-on surgery, men are also investing in less invasive cosmetic surgery to look better. It is estimated that about one seventh of all Botox anti-wrinkle injections are performed on men, and guys are also jumping on the inject able filler band-wagon, to smooth out wrinkles and lines, plump up lips. Actually expect the American Academy
Men represent 20 percent of all laser hair removal procedures as well, according to statistics.They are getting to grips with unwanted hair in other ways, with male waxing salons are becoming more popular to make chests, buttocks and back, smooth and supple. Pretty hands and feet are no longer a woman who only domain, either: the number of male manicure and pedicure is increasing among men of all sexual orientations, and hair salons for men are often much more than just a barbershop of Andy Griffith's day.
If you fancy a spot of plastic surgery, it does not matter if you are a man or woman - what matters is that you have realistic expectations and find a qualified, Board-certified surgeon with whom you have complete confidence. But if you expect to change your appearance dramatically change your life, think again. Beauty is only skin deep, in the long run, it's oomph behind the facade usually more important.
