I'm not new to plastic surgery, though, having worked for a while now with a <a href="http://www.drhasen.com" rel="nofollow">plastic surgeon in Naples</a>. Yes, more and more men it seems are looking at themselves and then looking to plastic surgery to improve upon what they see. When I was growing up, men were slimmer (if I can trust my memory... not guaranteed), but one only heard about the mythical "six-pack" abs. Today, they're everywhere. Men wear as little as their female counterparts in music videos and in movies. Also, there are a lot of men's magazines today, whereas just a decade ago, there were very few. The term metrosexual was coined and became a household word. So, it seems that men see what they can look like (and what women respond to) and then going out to consult with people (surgeons) who can help them achieve that look. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons states that something like 1.1 million procedures were performed on men in 2006. I recently read that Hugh Hefner is considering a facelift; he's 81. So, in short (too late) I agree, men are taking notice. I’m sort of new to the whole blog thing (I love reading them, but I rarely post).
