Men Having Procedures is More Accepted

By Clea Spahn


Cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures in the country are still mostly sought after by women, but nowadays there are more and more men that are choosing to have these procedures done. 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. Men are even becoming a little more self-conscious about their skin condition and this may be a combination of a high incidence of skin cancer as well as their wish to simply look better. 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 is pretty quick to apply, a little at night before bed, and an application following the morning shave.

Of the types of procedures available, men specifically seem to consider 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. Usually this is a day patient procedure that uses a general anaesthetic, and there could be some bruising for 2 weeks, with the patient returning to work in a week after a rhinoplasty.

The scars from a procedure like blepharoplasty and neck or face lifts are negligible, so men are also attracted to these procedures. 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.

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.

Men who wish to have a highly sculpted athletic physique may also be interested in hair removal procedures. Laser hair removal has benefited from newer more effective technology and do an even better job of getting rid of hair. 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. Finding a cosmetic surgeon that is experienced in procedures for men is a good idea, as it seems that many men today want to appear as they did in their youth.
