Rhinoplasty – Macho Pride
Some men see cosmetic surgery as a female domain. Traditionally,
it wasn't seen to be manly to worry about your looks, but all
that's changed. And the rhinoplasty is one of the most common
procedures for men.
The fact that the rhinoplasty is one of the most common
procedures for men says something about the male attitude towards
cosmetic surgery. Fixing the shape of the nose isn't necessarily
about looking younger, it's about achieving a better proportioned
nose. As such, a rhinoplasty is perhaps seen to be more acceptable
for male patients. The fact that a rhinoplasty can help men whose
noses have been disfigured by contact sports, such as boxing and
rugby, also means it has less stigma for men than other cosmetic
procedures. And the need for a rhinoplasty can also be rooted in
health concerns to improve breathing and nasal function.
Rhinoplasty or New Pecs? Flaunt it!
But the number of men and women who want to give nature a
helping hand has increased dramatically in recent years. And
British men are changing their attitudes to cosmetic surgery beyond
rhinoplasty, embracing their desires to stay forever young and look
their best. The UK is fast catching up with America, where patients
with a new rhinoplasty, new pecs or new breasts hold 'flaunt it'
parties to show off their new look.
Rhinoplasty can Boost Confidence
The cosmetic surgery procedures that UK men prefer include
ear-pinning (otoplasty), nose jobs (rhinoplasty), face and neck
lifts and liposuction. It's become far more acceptable for men to
address their concerns about their bodies and their looks. And if a
rhinoplasty is thought-through and not taken lightly, it can
drastically alter the lives of the men and women who have it. Those
that need a rhinoplasty can feel a new self-confidence with the
results.
Cosmetic Surgery offers a Solution
But for those with cash to burn, they can literally remodel
themselves from head to toe using cosmetic surgery. Women can have
'foot facelifts' to shorten unsightly toes, or make feet more
compatible to designer heels, or even have collagen injections so
they can wear heels for longer. As well as the more traditional
procedures such as rhinoplasty and facelifts, men can opt for
reductions on their 'man breasts' and opt for silicone pectoral
implants to get the perfect gym physique. Some more unusual
cosmetic surgery procedures include injecting surplus fat from the
upper arms into aging hands, bum implants to help create a more
rounded rear and the umbilicoplasty – to turn unsightly sticky-out
belly buttons into prettier, inward belly buttons.
It seems whether it's a straightforward rhinoplasty or any other
kind of shortening or removing procedure, cosmetic surgery has a
solution.
