Dear Dr. Man, I’m 54 years old and I consider myself a handsome guy. I have a great job and a beautiful wife. I am interested in keeping my looks young, especially since my wife is 15 years my junior. What are some plastic surgeries that men can get? I don’t want something as drastic as a facelift, but I would like to erase a few wrinkles or shrink my love handles.
Answer: An increasing number of men today are having cosmetic surgery like fat dissolving injections, Zerona Laser Treatment, Botox, Vein Treatments like this Spider Vein Treatment, etc. to help them look younger and more attractive. Like women, men have discovered the benefits of cosmetic surgery, both personally and professionally.

Men are recognizing that wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, droopy eyelids, baldness and double chins may make them look old and tired, and appear less competitive on the job and in their personal lives.
Like women, men want trimmer waists and fewer wrinkles. Many men also desire more hair. Men are rejuvenating their faces with face, neck and eye lifts, forehead and brow lifts, having lasers and peels to remove the wrinkles and make their skin look younger, resculpting their noses and undergoing liposuction and tummy tucks.
What used to be taboo is no longer. Many men today go to designer hair salons, get facials and other skin treatments at medical spas like Dermaplaning in Navarre, FL, and even shop at cosmetic counters. The number of people having cosmetic surgery is up; and men are a large part of that increase. Many of my patients say they don’t want to keep putting off their dreams and goals.
Another reason for the increase is that Baby Boomers have reached the “unfashionable” age of 50. In a society that values youth, 50-year-old executives are competing with younger, fitter and more competitive 30-year-olds, who are often willing to work very hard for less money. I hear from many patients that their baggy eyelids and tired appearance often affect their peers’ perception of their ability to perform their job. Therefore, they are looking into Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery in Severna Park MD and Botox in Kansas City.
Men also find that they want to keep pace with younger-looking wives. For single men, there may be even more pressure to look younger and more attractive on the dating scene.
As you can see, plastic surgery in men is very popular, and there are many options available for men who want to look younger and more attractive. The decision to have plastic surgery is up to each individual. If you’re considering surgery, visit a board certified plastic surgeon in a medical spa like ALC Medspa or ICT Eye – eyelid surgery to discuss your options and which procedures would be best for you.
