Cosmetic Surgery and Men

By Stina Delance


It did not used to be so important for men to stay looking young. Frequently, as men aged, they gained a distinguished appearance. Men can look more masculine with a few wrinkles, a touch of gray hair, and a stern brow. Recently though, men being young and attractive-looking is more important, especially when it comes to being competitive in their profession. This is partly why men's plastic surgery is gaining popularity. Male cosmetic surgery is a widely-expanding market in fact, as men are becoming more and more likely to opt for image-enhancing surgical procedures.

The popularity of cosmetic surgery has been rapidly rising. As new options are developed and available techniques are refined, cosmetic surgical procedures are becoming more common. What was once taboo is becoming the social norm, but there is one aspect of cosmetic surgery about which little is understood by the public: male cosmetic surgery. Typically considered women's exclusive domain, cosmetic surgical procedures are now being done on increasing numbers of men. Many of the false notions men have come from a lack of information on what conditions are treatable with cosmetic surgery. Modern men often take pride in doing everything possible to look their best though, so for the many who are looking to improve their appearance through cosmetic surgery, the new trend in male cosmetic surgery provides an answer.

Men's cosmetic surgery is very different than women's cosmetic surgery. Unique aspects of the male body include the nose, face, chest and abdomen, so specific cosmetic surgery procedures exist to restore self-confidence and improve men's appearances in each area.

Many studies suggest that men also internalize media ideals of beauty and more and more are seeking to emulate them. One study showed 84% of college-aged men expressing some level of body dissatisfaction, as compared to only 69% of the adult males surveyed.

There are some risks involved with any cosmetic surgery. To have the best experience possible, it is crucial that you make your decision to undergo cosmetic surgery with realistic expectations and a full understanding of the procedure itself. It often cannot easily be undone, so take some time to make this decision.

In conclusion, it is clear that cosmetic surgery is no longer just for women. In a society that primarily judges on appearance and demands perfection, it has become not only acceptable but increasingly popular for men to regain their youth through surgical procedures like the ones listed above. In fact, the main question is no longer "Should I get cosmetic surgery?" but instead "Which cosmetic surgery is best for me?"
