Instant Muscles: A New Trend Among Men?
Forget the old-fashioned diet and exercise approach to rippled abs, firm pecs, and sculpted calves. Nowadays, cosmetic surgery is giving rise to a new trend: instant muscles for men.
Abdominal etching (a liposuction procedure that creates a six-pack appearance), pectoral implants, and calf implants can help men achieve a buff appearance without the workout. Plastic surgeons say these “enhancers” are becoming more and more popular among male patients.
The trend has some fitness and health experts up in arms. Why would someone go under the knife to achieve something possible with proper diet and exercise?
But this question ignores the fact that some people—no matter how much protein they consume or how many calf raises they do—are not genetically blessed with well-proportioned, muscular lower legs. The same holds true with regard to pecs and abs.
Even in cases of good genetics, it really all comes down to a matter of personal choice. Men, like women, are increasingly turning to cosmetic surgery to enhance this body part and tweak that one. And who knows, maybe one day cosmetic surgery will be looked upon as “old-fashioned”…
