Aesthetic surgeries are no longer exclusive to women

Men looking for a better figure
Although women are the ones who mostly undergo aesthetic surgeries, more and more men join this trend that is no longer considered a mystery or taboo to improve the physical appearance of the male sex, says Dr. Franklin Peña, Plastic Surgeon, Aesthetic and Reconstructive.

“The man is increasingly less afraid when going to consultation to undergo some treatment or surgery and this is a more common situation than people imagine,” says the specialist.

From the age of 18, men can undergo any of the procedures intended for them, except procedures such as otoplasty performed on children aged 7 years and older.

This operation is performed to reposition the prominent ears to a more normal position, more attached to the head, or to reduce the size of the large ears, restoring the safety and self-esteem in infants as they are victims of bullying because of the deformation of his ears.

In men, plastic surgeries are usually divided into two groups; those that are practiced to young people under 35 and those that are performed to older men.

Dr. Franklin Peña, points out that the procedures most demanded by young men are lipo marking and athletic lipo since these are more concerned with defining the abdomen and chest areas more prone to accumulate fat difficult to improve despite arduous routines of exercise.

Gynecomastia is the reduction of breasts in men is another of the most frequent surgeries, where men have very developed mammary glands which increased during puberty and adolescence.

Rhinoplasty is another of the requested surgeries which corrects changes in the nose to give it a better appearance, a procedure that leaves no scar and usually lasts between 45 minutes and an hour.

In the case of men over 40 years of age, the most demanded are the improvement of fine lines on the forehead, the double chin and the eyelid pocket, according to Dr. Franklin Peña.
