MORE MEN CHOOSING TUMMY TUCKS THIS SUMMER
According to the Daily Star the number of men choosing tummy tuck surgery has risen by 24 per cent this summer, as an increasing number of men aim to cut a dashing figure on the beach.
This huge increase in demand for men’s cosmetic surgery is being partly driven by the trend for skimpy swimwear, which kicked off thanks to stars like Daniel Craig sporting the revealing beachwear in 007 flick Casino Royale.
DON’T SWEAT THIS SUMMER
If you suffer from excessive sweating – known as hyperhydrosis – Botox can provide a highly effective solution.
Botox can be used to prevent the embarrassment of slippery handshakes, underarm sweat patches and dripping brows. It works by freezing sweat glands, thereby effectively stopping perspiration.
POPULAR MALE PLASTIC SURGERY
Men are increasingly admitting they care as much about their looks and their health. One aspect of this is the growth in cosmetic surgery.
According to The Men’s Health Forum, the proportion of men going under the knife has increased by more than 140 per cent over the past five years. Medics have seen a dramatic increase in the number of 50-something male patients coming into their clinics. Liposuction is the most popular procedure. Men tend to rid themselves of love handles and sagging abdomens, doctors said, while women reduce flabby thighs and hips. Face-lifts, tummy-tucks, neck-lifts, eyebrow-lifts, nose jobs and chin implants are also gaining in popularity among men.
PANNUS ‘APRON’ REMOVAL
People who have lost a lot of weight often find extra skin and fat hanging below the belt line in the lower area of the stomach. This is refered to as the pannus, or abdominal “apron”. It can extend several inches from the body, covering the genital areas, and is burdensome. There are also hygiene issues and back strains involved.
The pannus can be removed by surgery however thanks to a plastic surgery procedure called panniculectomy.
Ask a qualified surgeon about this procedure as abdominal panniculectomy is a major operation and should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon either in a hospital or in an outpatient surgery centre.
OBESITY AT AGE 20 LINKED TO EARLY DEATH
Men who are obese at age 20 are twice as likely to die young, according to new research from Sweden.
“Entering adult life as obese leads to a life-long doubling of the risk of dying prematurely,” said study researcher Esther Zimmermann, PhD, of the Institute of Preventive Medicine in Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark.
Avoid beginning adult life as obese because the chances are high that you will remain obese as an adult.
