Women have been free to express their desires about looking better or looking younger for many years now. Men, on the other hand, well they are just getting into the game, so to speak. Since the early 2000s, there has been an extraordinary increase in the statistics related to men and cosmetic procedures. The development of non-surgical treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers may have been the catalyst that men needed to take control of their aging process. Whatever the reason, men are speaking up and doing something about their aesthetic concerns, and that is a good thing.
When any person is concerned about looking older or looking a way that is different than how they see themselves, confidence takes a hit. Men are not excluded from this. Some of the areas men are addressing aesthetic concerns include:
- The eyes. Men may have thicker skin than women, but the skin around the eyes is delicate no matter who you are. That means age-related collagen loss can make the eyes look tired, angry, unfriendly, or just plain apathetic. Men express concern that their heavy eyelids, bags, or drooping brow may affect their professional success. Eyelid surgery, called blepharoplasty, can dramatically revitalize the eyes without looking unnatural.
- The neck. A double chin doesn’t look good no matter how you look at it. The excess fat and skin that hang beneath the chin also create physical discomfort when tight-necked shirts are worn, which many men do on a daily basis. A suit-and-tie is thought to look dignified and professional. Not when loose skin is pushed up over the collar! Neck lift surgery, possibly with liposuction, can eliminate the excess that distracts from the angular jawline that should be the star of the show.
- The chin. A strong chin is the hallmark of masculine facial features. Men with too little projection may feel dissatisfied that their appearance contradicts their character. The chin may be sharpened with augmentation using dermal fillers or with a silicone chin implant that can last a lifetime.
