More Men Embracing Cosmetic Surgery

Modern society's increased emphasis on looking young and fit is causing men to take a higher interest in their appearance. Men are spending more time shopping, working out, and even having cosmetic treatments to present their ideal image - both professionally and personally. While men in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles may have started the male plastic surgery trend, the number of Texas men opting for cosmetic surgery has steadily increased in recent years.

During the last decade, men have found it much more socially acceptable to undergo cosmetic surgery. Today, men are expected to look young, healthy, and stylish. To do so, they're turning to a wide variety of products and services, like cosmetic surgery, to help them look their best.

In 2007, the top 3 cosmetic surgery procedures for male patients across the nation were rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), eyelid surgery, and liposuction. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty was the cosmetic surgery procedure most frequently performed on men in 2007, with male patients making up 26% of all rhinoplasty procedures. Nose surgery can be an effective option for men who want a more aesthetically pleasing nose or who need to correct breathing problems.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is another popular option for men in Texas. This plastic surgery procedure corrects droopy skin above the eyes and "bags" under the eyes that can make men appear tired and old. During eyelid surgery, excess fat deposits and loose skin are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Scarring is minimal and the procedure can offer the added benefit of increasing visibility for patients whose vision is impaired by sagging skin.

It makes sense that men are becoming more and more interested in cosmetic surgery. Facial cosmetic surgery, in particular, can help men look their best for their careers and in their personal lives. But, we also see many men who choose cosmetic surgery to enhance their body’s shape. Liposuction is the most popular body contouring procedure for men. Some men incorrectly believe that this surgery’s main function is to achieve weight loss. In fact, the procedure is used only for body shaping. For instance, liposuction is an ideal treatment for love handles and small rolls of fat on the belly that don't respond to diet and exercise.

More and more men are realizing that they feel better when they look their best. Cosmetic surgery is more acceptable for men now – and it is even more affordable than ever!! TIFM Aesthetics is excited to play a role in this emerging trend.
