For years, women have had openly trim effects of plastic surgery, while for men the issue was not within its competence.
However, for a while now they have also begun to recognize that a youthful appearance provides greater security. According to figures from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2008 1.1 million were performed cosmetic surgery in men.
Among the most requested minimally invasive procedures included the application of botox, laser hair removal and microdermabrasion.
Also, among the surgical procedures were highlighted rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction, hair implants and male breast reduction.
” Apart from eyelid surgery and nose, is especially popular chin,”writes Dr. Andres Bustillo, a surgeon pecializing in facial and reconstructive surgery consultation in Miami.
“In groups of monkeys and gorillas, animals are most attracted to the strong chin. Something similar happens with men, for them, chin, George Clooney style is a symbol of strength, is a common surgery among men ages 18 to 25 who believe that the line of her chin is very eak,”the surgeon compares.
Men may increasingly turn to cosmetic surgery, but still worry about privacy.
” In men, the surgeries are more conservative, not like you notice them, but also the fact of his anatomy different from women, to be taken into account in any type of procedure,”indicates.
The recommendation is to find a ertified surgeon who has performed several surgeries on men and can show the results of their surgeries.
As men get older, they like to be more intellectual, successful and mature but not tired, according to Dr. Navin Singh, a plastic surgeon who practices in Washington DC
“Many lawyers, other professionals, opting for eyelid lift surgery because they say they are ‘tired of being tired,”‘he says.
Is surgery in general is common after age 47.
In terms of body, Singh asserts that one of the most requested procedures is liposuction, especially to remove the fat accumulated in the area of ??the waist.
The results of liposuction in men are considered better because they have more elasticity in the skin of the body than women.
Overall, men only resort to a tummy tuck when they have lost weight and need to pick up the skin of the stomach area.
It is likely that lifestyle outdoor or beach wear men to think more about the healing benefits of the surgery, however, Singh does not consider it a definite factor.
For a number, push-ups are important as the work in the gym does not work there is always those who refuse and opt for pectoral implants.
“In English is heard saying: No pecs, no sex – no pecs, no sex – which stresses the importance of them,”said Singh.
