Plastic Surgery: Not Just for Women, For Men Too

“Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.” (Tia Carrere)


Who says that only women are vain with regards to their looks? Based from the data of American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), men underwent 1.1 million plastic surgery procedures in 2010, an average 2% increase over the previous year largely among men in their 50s and 60s. ASPS President Phillip Haeck further said that the apparent growth in plastic surgery was due to the aging baby boomers that are now ready to have plastic surgery.


What Drives them?
Many doctors wearing their usual lab coats say that some of their patients commonly complaint that they don't think that they look as good as they feel. A number of patients are fresh off a divorce or looking for a competitive edge in an office full of young employees. Others are encouraged by wives who have had successful procedures — or are kind enough to ask why their husbands' once-smooth brows now appear permanently furrowed. I guess, the common reason (apart from medical purposes)lies within the heart of self confidence and insecurities. Men, like women are not immune to the common malady of humanity, which is vanity.

Here are some of the most common cosmetic surgical operations for men:

A device like a fine sandblaster sprays tiny crystals across the face, mixing abrasion with suction to remove dead skin.
Laser hair removal
This treatment involves use of a laser to remove hair and reduce hair growth, sometimes permanently.
Chemical peel
A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to peel off and reveal new, smoother skin.
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
The surgical alteration of the nose to change its shape or improve the way it works.
Hair transplantation
In this procedure, hair harvested from the back and sides of the scalp is transplanted into balding areas.
Laser skin resurfacing
A laser removes areas of damaged or wrinkled skin layer by layer to minimize the appearance of fine lines or scars.
Liposuction
Involves the use of a suctioning device to remove excess fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs and rear.

The Beauty Fever

Image
Yesterday, I happened to encounter an illustration depicting the benefits of beauty to one's career, studies and life itself. Somehow, this illustration has truth in it, yet, I guess there is something missing with the facts given on the said illustration. Take a look: via I love the  comment  given by one of the readers (a woman wearing  lab coat  and in fact a nurse) with regards to the above infographics: "Tsk tsk. This illustration somehow makes unattractive people a mess when it comes to career as well as having a bad life, yet the fact is, it's not really the issue of beauty but the issue of confidence and courage when it comes to facing challenges in life like school, working environment, family and even the society's prejudices. The issue is not about beauty per se, but about the confidence to go on living a good life and pursuing what we really want. Beauty, I believe is only a factor, but somehow, we still have choice to be confident and...

The Shoe Story: Women's Love For Shoes

Image
How many pairs of shoes do you have? And how many of these pairs of shoes do you actually wear? The average woman makes 301 shopping excursions each year, spending around 400 hours buying clothing, books, food, and toiletries. Each year women (including those nurses wearing nursing uniforms and nursing shoes) buy shoes 15 times, 40 hours and 30 minutes according to the survey done by marketing research firm OnePoll.com. Consumer Reports published a report saying that American women own an average of 17 pairs of shoes but wear only three pairs regularly, which is based from a poll of 1,009 women ages 18 and older by ShopSmart magazine. The poll also found that women buy about three pairs a year and, on average, spend $49 a pair. About a third (31%) of those surveyed says they have spent more than $100 on a single pair. In fact more than a third (39%) consider themselves "a shoe person." What may be the reason beyond this? Lisa Lee Freeman an editor in chief ...

Rebel Style

Image
In a society bounded by rules, there is always born a rebel. The word "rebel" have lots of bad implications, yet when we look at it closely, rebels are those people who don't just obey, they also ask questions. Rebellion is an individual action; it has nothing to do with the crowd. They even say that creativity is the greatest rebellion that exists. In the past, rebels have bad names, but nowadays, society treasures rebels, the ones who make a difference. Speaking of rebels, there are lots of rebel style apparels online. Here are few of my personal faves: EAR CUFF FOR WOMEN Add a subtle punk rock accessory to any outfit with this unique accessory.
