Men increasingly going under the cosmetic surgeon's knife
Men are increasingly willing to undergo cosmetic surgery such as Botox injections, rhinoplasty, and liposuction. According to a recent poll, 74 percent of men said they approved of cosmetic surgery, either for themselves or for another man. More than one million American men had some kind of cosmetic procedure in 2004.
Ads for Botox and other cosmetic procedures fill the pages of many women's magazines. But more and more men's publications are now talking about cosmetic surgery, as the number of men getting nipped and tucked continues to rise.Simeon Illive is getting a procedure you might not expect for a 28-year-old man. He's having his varicose veins removed."They just kept spreading and spreading and spreading and it got to the point where it gets ugly, he noted.For seven years, Albert Haje has been getting Botox on a regular basis.
The business owner has also had some tightening surgery done on his neck and face."I think it's much more acceptable for men now than it was in past years," said Haje.Not long ago, most men wouldn't even consider having Botox or any other cosmetic procedure done, but a recent survey shows just how much the times have changed.
Seventy-four percent of men polled said they approved of cosmetic plastic surgery for themselves or someone else. In 2004, well over one million men had some kind of cosmetic work done.Plastic surgeon Michael Kane expects the numbers to only go up."Men's magazines that actually write about plastic surgery, Restalyne, Botox, so they are much more aware of what's out there," explained Kane.Some surgeons are even catering to men.
With special goggles, Simeon is able to watch a "Sopranos" DVD during his surgery.And Doctor Luis Navarro says the procedure has become more popular with men now that it's faster and the recovery time is shorter."It lasts about 45 minutes and you can return to work the same day," he said.But Haje says something else has changed over the years."I think we're more vain."
According to the Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the most popular cosmetic surgeries for men are liposuction, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty.
