Cosmetic surgery for men

Cosmetic Surgery for Men is on the rise in the UK with a 21 per cent growth in demand for male plastic surgery since 2009.


The UK was ranked 18th in the world for the total number of cosmetic surgery procedures carried out in 2009 – with 192,678 performed that year. The majority of plastic surgery procedures are carried out on women, but ten per cent of these were carried out on men.

Getting ahead in the job interview process – by coming across as younger and more energetic – and improving career prospects seem to be the motivation for many men getting cosmetic surgery. Meanwhile, rhinoplasty, eye lid surgery, male breast reduction, otoplasty and liposuction are the most popular procedures for males, the research found.

In a recent report by newspaper the Lancashire Telegraph, men in the north-west were found to be turning to cosmetic surgery in a bid to look as young and fresh-faced as the current contestants on BBC show The Apprentice. According to a plastic surgeon featured in the article, more men are doing this in order to get a competitive edge in the employment market during these times of economic austerity, where it can be difficult to find a job.

A similar phenomenon also seems to be happening in the US. Last year, 1.1 million men went under the knife with the hope of achieving a more youthful-looking appearance, according to research published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The study found that cosmetic surgery procedures rose by two per cent in 2010, with the number of male facelifts increasing by 14 per cent.
