More men are turning to cosmetic surgery
In today's society, women are not the only ones who care a lot about the appearance of their body and their face.
Despite the fact that 83.4% of plastic surgeries in Spain are performed on women, according to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery between 2013 and 2018 these increased in men from 12% to 16.6%. Which is a clear indicator that gentlemen are increasingly opting for these operations.
Some of the reasons for the increase in cosmetic surgeries in men are:
· The desire of some men to look as good as they feel has increased.
· They view surgery as a tool to help them be successful in different areas of their life. Especially in the work and personal.
· The exposure of the body and face has increased in social networks.
· They don't want to look aged while their partners look young and radiant from some surgeries. So, they undergo cosmetic treatments.
Most popular facial surgeries in men
Some of the most requested facial treatments for men are the following:
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical intervention that allows you to rejuvenate your gaze. Over the years the signs of aging also become noticeable in men. The eyelid tissue tends to sag or sag and the bags under the eyes progressively increase in size due to an accumulation of fat.
This makes the look and, the face in general, look tired and down, which can often cause you to appear older than you really are.
Through blepharoplasty, excess skin and fat are removed from the eye area. Which allows the person to look much fresher and younger?
Neck lift
One of the most common signs of aging in men is the development of a double chin. This depends on multiple factors such as weight, genetics, environment, and others.
The double chin gives your face a rounded and weakened look, as the jaw bones are not clearly visible.
Men who wear a shirt and tie daily and have a prominent double chin tend to be uncomfortable with their appearance. Since the tightness of the clothing in the neck area makes it look more noticeable. To change that they turn to one of the most popular facial surgeries in men, which is the neck lift.
By means of a neck or cervical lift, excess fat and tissue is significantly reduced to give a defined, strong, and stylized appearance to the jaw and neck area. It is very similar to liposuction.
One of the advantages of this treatment is that the results are natural and the scars are very small, almost imperceptible. It is also performed in about an hour and does not require hospitalization either before or after the operation.
Chinplasty
The mentoplastia or genioplasty is a procedure that seeks to improve the shape of the chin eliminating any deformity or increasing its projection. This can be done by three methods: with the use of a prosthesis, with an osteotomy or without a prosthesis.
· By prosthesis: This procedure consists of implanting a small silicone prosthesis or a similar material that resembles the texture of a natural chin, through an incision under this area.
· Sliding osteomy: It consists of making a cut in the inner part of the jaw, just below the roots of the teeth. To later advance the chin and fix it in the desired position with a special material. This practice should only be performed by ENT specialists in facial surgery or maxillofacial surgeons.
· Without implant: it is one of the most popular techniques today. It is done by injections of hyaluronic acid, fat from the patient's body or another substance that is compatible with the body. The only downside to this option is that it has no permanent effects.
This type of plastic surgery for men is performed in order to obtain a much more manly chin or chin and thus look like a man of more character.
It is common for this surgery to be performed in conjunction with a rhinoplasty. Since on many occasions there is a very prominent nose and a small chin. The combination of these cosmetic procedures is known as profiloplasty.
Rhinoplasty
One of the key elements to have a balanced face is the nose. And there are ways in which a man can have a lean, proportionate face without having an overly feminine nose.
There are also techniques that are very minimally invasive, with which they have the expected results with little recovery time, and without any type of scar.
Young men are the ones who generally resort to this facial surgery. It can be for aesthetic or medical reasons in case of respiratory dysfunctions.
People who are engaged in contact sports such as boxing, martial arts and others often suffer deviations in the septum due to strong impacts. So, they also demand rhinoplasty.
Botox
Although it is not a facial cosmetic surgery, it is a procedure that is increasingly used by men. It is used to prevent and control the appearance of wrinkles and expression marks in different areas of the face.
It is a substance that, when applied to the correct points, relaxes the muscle in the area. And it considerably reduces facial wrinkles.
Its effects are not permanent. Some specialists recommend a touch-up every 6 months to prevent the results from fading.
It can also be used in other areas such as the armpits to reduce sweating.
