Men and plastic surgery
Yes, men are different, even regarding plastic surgery. The overall summary in men's care for the plastic surgeon is to avoid a result that looks operated or, even worse, over operated.
For men we want to leave them looking natural and vigorous, not artificial. AS an example, in nasal surgery a man will usually want a strong chiseled look rather than the turned up "bobbed" look of a younger girl. Regarding face-lifting, men are usually trying to eliminate a double chin. They are not trying to achieve the tighter look that most ladies prefer for optimizing their cosmetics. This is an advantage for the men because the surgery can be less involved and recovery more rapid. Around the eyes, men are trying to get rid of lower eyelid puffiness and upper eyelid drooping. Again cosmetics are not their goal. The men want to look rested and healthy.
As a note of caution, many men have a less well developed idea of just exactly what they want from surgery. This has led many plastic surgeons to be extremely cautious when dealing with the male patient. In our practice, the solution to this seems simple. Have the necessary consultation, use several preliminary visits to really define the goals and then avoid the over operated look While plastic surgery is no guarantee that a man will get that big promotion, it can help leave a person looking young and physically fit. No doubt the first impression is very much made by a person's appearance.
