Men and Plastic Surgery: A Growing Trend
In 2010, both men and women are looking for good surgeons to do their Los Angeles tummy tuck. Tummy tucks and breast implants are very popular procedures which U.S. women undergo. On the other hand, the number of men interested in plastic surgery has been increasing as the procedure has become less taboo. 55% more men had tummy tucks in the first two months of 2010 compared with the same time last year and the figures are continuing to rise. Even the number of breast augmentations Beverly Hills men are getting is increasing. Whether it’s a chest reduction, rhinoplasty, or liposuction Beverly Hills men are looking to perfect their bodies in the same way women have been doing for years.
- Nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty)
- Male chest reduction
- Fat removal (Liposuction)
- Face/Neck lift
- Ear reshaping (Otoplasty)
More and more men are looking to these procedures to look young and healthy. A youthful image can help them become more confident and advance in a professional setting. As better technology is being developed, men are more likely to get these procedures done as it is easier to hide the fact that they have undergone the surgery. Men are very concerned with looking as natural as possible. They don’t want others to know that they have undergone surgery as it is still not really considered socially acceptable for men to undergo plastic surgery procedures.
Many men are hesitant to look into plastic surgery because of their jobs. Many women are stay-at-home moms so they don’t have to worry about a long recovery time as much. However, men often have only the weekend as they don’t want to waste their rare vacation time recovering from surgery. This leads many men to forego surgery or look to minimally invasive procedures. The number of women who get plastic surgery procedures done is still far greater than the number of men, however, some surgeons consider men an “untapped source.” If they could reduce the amount of recovery time these procedures lead to it would probably lead to an increase in men’s procedures.
