Top 10 plastic surgery fixes for men

Just like their fairer counterparts, men too have always wanted to look good and presentable. But the exponential growth that the male grooming market across the world has witnessed in recent years has been quite a phenomenon. In fact, men these days are even willing to go under the plastic surgeon’s scalpel if it means acquiring rejuvenated looks and the perfect physique. Look good does not seem to be the sole prerogative of women any longer!

Nowadays, the need to look young and energetic even if you are in your 40s, 50s and 60s has led men to reevaluate their perspective on physical attributes. This has resulted in an increasing interest in cosmetic procedures to enhance looks. The fact that the corporate world is extremely competitive, and gives out the impression that an older person is less efficient and up-to-date also has a lot to do with more and more men opting for plastic surgery.

Statistics suggest that the top 10 surgical procedures for men in order of preference currently are:

·     -    Botox anti-wrinkle injection treatments

·      -   Nose reshaping or Rhinoplasty

·       -  Hair transplantation

·        - Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty

·         -Liposuction

·         -Breast Reductions or Gynecomastia

·         -Penile reconstruction or Phalloplasty

·         -Face Lifts or rhytidectomy

·         -Liposelection(to create six pack abs, bulging pecs and so on)

·         -Buttock Enhancements

It is interesting to note that although cosmetic surgery in men uses the same procedures as in women, there are technical differences. This is primarily because the structure of the male body is different from that of a female’s. A very obvious difference is that men have thicker skin, and are more hairy than women. Thicker skin sometimes is hindrance in getting immediate result as it masks the changes made in deeper layers.Men also tend to have tougher fat because of lymphatic blockage which causes problem while getting liposuction done. Smoking which is more prevalent in male population can be a negative factor while considering cosmetic surgery in men as it compromises blood circulation in the skin thereby delaying healing.
