Women have long been the biggest fans of cosmetic surgery. This, of course, is why breast enlargements tend to reign supreme as the number one requested procedure in the world. However, there’s no doubt that men are also coming round to the idea of going under the knife. It’s not their figures that they’re concerned with though, but their faces.ACCORDING TO A LEADING PLASTIC SURGEON, MORE AND MORE MEN ARE OPTING TO SHAVE OFF THE YEARS WITH THE HELP OF A FACELIFT.
These men – who tend to be around 40-years-old – are bypassing less invasive procedures as they suddenly decide turn back the clock when they hit middle age. Surgeon Dr Foued Hamza believes that men are coming to this decision at a very good time in their lives. He told GQ: “Around 40 is a great time to think about having a facelift.”
The medical expert also told the publication that the majority of his patients fall into three categories in terms of how they’ve come to decide upon having a facelift. He explained: “One, they have specific concerns about their face that the surgeon can see. Two, they are motivated to have the surgery for themselves, not because they are pressured by a partner. Three, they have realistic expectations about the impact of the change in their appearance on their lives.”
This trend of men embracing cosmetic surgery is something that’s been growing over the past few years. While women still make up roughly 92% of cosmetic procedures, the number of men going under the knife actually rose by an incredible 3% in 2016 alone. This is according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, whose data found that 1.3million procedures were carried out on men in 2016. This figure encompasses facelifts, as well as other treatments – such as liposuction and nose jobs.
