In recent years, men have expressed an increased interest in plastic surgery. Driven by a desire to invest in the way they look to reflect their internal state of being, many men are looking to plastic surgery as an alternative to achieving positive changes in their appearance. A 21st-century man wants to look energetic, a sought-after quality in a highly competitive world. Although men don’t necessarily want to appear younger, they do want to restore an attractive, healthy and confident look. A few wrinkles around the eyes and some gray hairs may give a man the look of experience. On the other hand, deep folds between the brows and large bags under the eyes produce a tired and aged demeanor. Aesthetic treatments for men consist of undoing a tired appearance and giving back a manly and energetic look.
Surgical treatments must be tailored for men
When preparing for an aesthetic surgical procedure, it is crucial that the surgeon consider the gender of his patient. Whatever the treatment, it must be tailored for a man and must be different from a woman’s. Specific principles must be applied when considering surgery for men. For example, if a brow lift is required to treat an angry, tired or sad appearance but the brows are elevated too much, there is a risk of feminization. Therefore, to avoid a feminine look, the procedure must be designed for a man by utilizing the correct surgical technique. It is better to be more conservative in men when it comes to aesthetic surgery.
Botox and fillers designed for men
For men who do not want or need surgery, botulinum toxin and dermal fillers application are a good alternative for providing the results that a man desires. These require less downtime, something very important for busy men in their most active years. Botox can be used to soften deep wrinkles on the forehead and crow’s feet area. Dermal filler and fat grafting in men can help restore volume to the jawline and lower cheek areas, providing more attractive and masculine features. Additionally, Botox and dermal fillers treatments are a good alternative to surgery to reduce the appearance of bags and dark circles under the eyes.
