Experts Say There Has Been A Rise In Male Cosmetic Patients
A top surgeon has revealed that the number of men undergoing cosmetic treatments has soared.
Each year the industry experiences a 10% increase in male patients, with procedures such as rhinoplasty, liposuction and eyelid surgery being the most popular among the male population.
The spokesperson for the Australian Society of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jeremy Hunt MBBS, said that men tend to a more “functional approach to surgery”.
Dr. Hunt also went on to explain that professional men in their forties and fifties were the most likely to undergo cosmetic treatment. However, there is also a growing number of younger male patients seeking cosmetic treatments like Botox.
So what’s driving these men to seek non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox? Apparently, a more competitive job market. Experts have suggested that more male patients are undergoing anti-ageing treatments like dermal fillers and Botox in order to compete with younger candidates for jobs – and with an immense amount of pressure (not only on your capability but also your appearance) in the workplace, it’s easy to see why.
“It’s no surprise to me that so many more male patients are choosing to undergo cosmetic anti-ageing treatments in order to hold back the hands of time,” explained Mr. Aftab Ahmed, a facial cosmetic surgeon. “There has been a huge shift in the importance of men’s physical appearance in recent years. We began to see this change in male cosmetic trends with the rise of the ‘metrosexual’ during the noughties, and it shows no signs of slowing down.”
“Non-surgical anti-ageing treatments like Botox and dermal fillers are the perfect solution for many male patients. They provide them with the anti-ageing results they want, in a quick and convenient treatment. Most non-surgical anti-ageing treatments can be performed in as little as 30 minutes and require little recovery time, making them the perfect answer for male patients who want a fuss-free answer to their signs of ageing.”
“Non-surgical anti-ageing treatments can also provide their male patients with the natural-looking results they want. Although many men’s attitude to cosmetic treatment has changed over the past decade, they still want their results to look as natural as possible. Thanks to the injectable nature of treatments like Botox and dermal fillers, practitioners can control the results that patients gain much more easily, meaning male patients can achieve the discreet results they are looking for.”
Although non-surgical anti-ageing treatments do provide male patients with an array of benefits, it’s also important that all patients are aware of the potential risks and side-effects. Factors such as bruising, swelling, and bleeding at the site of injection, infection and possible muscle damage are all risks that patients could experience as a result of non-surgical anti-ageing treatments. These risks are rare to encounter but should be considered by all patients.
If you are considering a non-surgical anti-ageing treatment, it is vital that your carry out extensive research beforehand. Thanks to the growing popularity of these treatments, more practitioners than ever are now offering these treatments. This means patients need to be more selective with the cosmetic professional that they choose, though. Failure to pick a credible cosmetic professional could result in substandard results or even heightened risk to your health.
