MEN WANT TO LOOK GOOD TOO

More and more men today are having cosmetic surgery to help them look younger and attractive. Like their female counterparts, they  have discovered the benefits of cosmetic surgery not only personally, but also professionally.

Men are recognizing that wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, droopy eyelids, baldness and double chins can make them look old, tired, and  appear less competitive on the job.

Top Cosmetic Procedures

Like women, they want trimmer waists and fewer wrinkles. And they want more hair.  Men are also rejuvenating their faces with face, neck and eye lifts, forehead and brow lifts; having lasers and peels to remove the wrinkles and make their skin look younger; resculpting their noses and undergoing liposuction and tummy tucks . These improvements haven’t stopped at the surgeon’s office. Men are also going to hair salons instead of barber shops, having facials and other skin toning treatments, and shopping at cosmetic counters.

A New Trend?

Yes, cosmetic surgery is up and men are a big part of the increase.  Patients say they don’t want to keep putting off their dreams and goals.  Baby Boomers have reached the unfashionable age of 50. In a society that values youth, 50-year-old executives are competing with younger, fitter and more competitive 30-year-olds, who are often willing to work harder, and for less money.  One 40-year-old sales executive felt that his baggy eyelids and tired looking appearance affected his peers’ perception of his ability to perform his job.  “Every morning I would go to work and someone would ask if I was tired and asked did I get enough sleep.  In the business world the feeling is if you look tired or don’t take care of yourself, people think you can’t keep up.”

But, it’s not just busy business executives in fear of losing their jobs who are filling the plastic surgeon’s waiting room.  On the home front, men are also finding they want to keep pace with younger-looking wives.  Following his wife’s facelift, a retired executive put it like this, “Now that I have a young-looking wife, I decided to take a look at myself.”
