In a
recent report by Fox News men are pining for more masculine features making it
the latest trend for male cosmetic surgery for 2013. Gone are the days where
the guys go for rounded chins and pert noses similar to that of Zac Efron or
Leonardo Di Caprio.

Today,
ethnic features are in particularly those with the likes of Daniel Craig, Jon
Hamm or Michael Fassbender. According to Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, who is an
associate professor of plastic surgery at the UCLA School of Medicine, “There’s
less of a desire now for conventionally beautiful white-bread face. People are
embracing strong features like ethnic, non-traditional noses.”
With
these demands, people are opting for combination procedures that complement
each other such as chin implants and nose surgery. Along with the square and
defined jaws, it would indeed look better with a nose that would suit it
perfectly for an overall improved result.
But
one concern that men have is fitting these procedures into their tight
schedules. With everything being so hectic they want something that would give
them faster results.
Experts
address this problem through smaller instruments which create finer incisions
that also heal faster.
Adding
to that procedure such as micro-liposuction can help define the jawline which
is often a problem area, particularly for those men in their thirties. This is
because of sun exposure and excess fat. With just mild sedation and half an
hour of surgery with no sutures, one can already get the sculpting that they
want with only very minimal bruising.
Other
options which are non-invasive in nature include Ultherapy. This is known to be
a non-invasive treatment which requires ultrasound technology that provides
heat to the skin. It then heats up the collagen layers stimulating the skin
tissue to tighten and generate new ones as well.
Less
invasive procedures are more suitable for men in their 30's, who are not yet
showing significant signs of aging. They don’t have much skin laxity to address
that is why they don’t require too many alterations. This also allows them to
go back to work the next day.
But
one concern that is raised with non-invasive cosmetic treatments is that they
can be addictive. With it being so easy to get and fast to recover from, some
men can find themselves hooked into it. Take for instance the human Ken doll,
Justin Jedlica, who just made a total
artwork out of his face by using dermal fillers which is just one of the 113
cosmetic surgeries he had.
This
can make you question whether the men today have gone extremely vain.
There
are a lot of factors at play as to why male cosmetic surgery cases have
increased in the past year. The media is one major influence and the highly
competitive nature of the workforce also pushed some of these guys to get the
enhancements needed.
On
that note, men are also becoming more critical on looks when it comes to their
female counterparts. In a recent survey, men are saying that they would like
their girl to get cosmetic surgery to improve their looks. Procedures that they
would want their girlfriends had done include liposuction, breast enhancement,
nose jobs and Botox.
