More men are turning towards various forms of cosmetic and plastic surgery to further their own careers a report has indicated this year. The most common forms of plastic surgery are either breast augmentation of a less well known procedure called a rhinoplasty. Both of these procedures are more common within women however various amounts of men are now starting to get more and more cosmetic surgery in the form of facial reconstructive surgery for example, cheek bone definition and nose surgery.
Various cosmetic surgery centres across the UK have seen a staggering 75% increase in the last six months of men requesting surgery and believe it is a direct result of the current credit crunch and people facing tough competition for the same job. Apparently, a lot of older men now believe that they are competing against their younger counterparts for high end jobs in major cities. By getting cosmetic surgery older men believe that they still have a chance of securing various sought after jobs. Quite bluntly, I have never heard of anything so ridiculous but none the less people are going out there and doing this.
Botox and fillers are also very common in plastic surgery procedures as this is the easiest way to restore youthful features in the face and make you look more ‘plump’ and younger. Additionally, it is not surgical and can be done very quickly hence why it is very popular.
Over the last five years there has apparently been a 140% increase in the last five years which is a staggering figure to comprehend. Although the credit crunch is giving us all the pinch there will always be a market for people wishing to improve how they look. Yet, if I was the employer I wouldn’t really discriminate against someone’s age so it kind of makes this all a little silly and overrated.
