| Plastic Surgery Makes Boys Of Men |

Cleopatras around the world go for tummy tucks, liposuction, Botox fillers and the likes to keep themselves eternally youthful. And it comes as no surprise to Toledo plastic surgery specialists that the Ceasers of the world aren't far behind either when it comes to going for a nip here and a tuck there to hide those love handles or to smooth out the crow's feet.
Well, firstly there is the rise of the new alpha male, the metro sexual man. Competing with the likes of men like George Clooney or Brad Pitt, who seem to be doing a Benjamin Button in real life as well, only makes for increased awareness about plastic surgery treatments. For Jacob Rickson, a 40-year-old sales manager and a resident of Toledo, plastic surgery was a necessity to sustain against the onslaught of younger and better looking men who are willing to work at a lower salary in the job arena.And lastly, the constant comparison or comments like "you look tired" or "you are beginning to look old" starts to get to you. "More than the fact that I am getting old, what affects me the most is that people start thinking that I can't be efficient. Appearances in today's world mean a lot," affirms 46-year-old Ridley Ashpole, another Toledo plastic surgery candidate. * Cosmetic Enhancement A 2007 report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons throws light on some of the top enhancement treatments opted by me. These include hair weaving for slowly but steadily receding hairline, eyelid lift for those drooping eyes thanks to regular late nights in office, Botox injections for those age lines, liposuction to get rid of unwanted love handles and laser skin rejuvenation for smooth and younger looking skin. There are other procedures too which though haven't reached the popular mark yet, but has seen over the years an increasing in popularity among the male populace. Namely, tummy tucks which has seen nearly 120% increases since 2000, body contouring procedures such as butt lifts and upper arm lifts. Another thing that's been observed is that men usually don't prefer to go for face lifts as compared to women. They are more concerned with their hair line, then the before time appearance of wrinkles. This is because a face lift is done on the lower part of the face and this can affect their beard line. The bottom line is that the pressure to look good is intense in today's dog eat dog world. Men are no longer omitted to look past their sell-by date. Mr. Salt and Pepper hair is no longer the rule to a guaranteed sex appeal. A cosmetic or plastic surgery helps a man to project a strong and clean image and wipe out the tired and angry look that comes with aging. And what takes the cake is that all non invasive treatments require just 48 hours for the effects to be visible and it can last up till six months. |
