Truth About Cosmetic Surgery For Men Is It Right For You

Internet Guide to Cosmetic Surgery for Men (Haworth Internet Medical Guides)

Is cosmetic surgery for men the right surgery for you? For years all you ever read about were female celebrities and the “rich and famous” getting plastic surgery. However, today thanks to the changes in technology, lower prices (in some cases) more men are reshaping their bodies and their facial features. But you may discover it's not quite as simple as you thought. This information will help you to determine if you really want to go under the knife to make you look a little better.


You will find the type of cosmetic surgery that is discussed in this article is for the voluntary procedures. The ones where you think a nip and tuck might take off a few years or reducing the size of your nose will make you better looking.

Other procedures which are more drastic in nature, such as a terrible disfigurement caused by fire are an entirely different type of procedure.

A little mental self examination needs to be done prior to you deciding to be operated on. Such as:


* Do I have a healthy heart?

* Do I exercise regularly?

* Do I eat right?

* Do I smoke?

If you answered no to any of the above you may clear up your problem with a few changes in your lifestyle. Take the time to consider correcting any bad habits you may have about your health. Once you start getting into shape you may find you don't need to have cosmetic surgery for men.

Now you need to do some serious soul searching and dig a little deeper into your mind. Is the only reason your doing this is because you have a low opinion of yourself? The truth is, if this is your primary reason, chances are you have other emotional problems and it's not your looks. Perhaps you should consider professional therapy to deal with your emotional scars prior to undergoing any type of body reconstruction.

More than likely if you do have under lying emotional problems you will feel no different after you are operated on. In other words it may help for a short while, but those problems are going to come back up. And when they do you’re going to have the same low self esteem you had, before the surgery.

To avoid major emotional disappointment with your reconstructed nose or other features, you will be much better off if you think you look ok now. But if you are thinking it will make you "the most handsome and perfect looking man alive" guess what? It ain't going to happen. No amount of surgery can produce the perfect looking man.

It’s important for you be realistic about what your bodily reconstruction can and can not do for you. If you are expecting your looks to “wow” over the board of directors and they appoint you the next CEO, don’t bet on it. Nor is it going to win the “love of your life” back, it may help, but most likely there were other issues that caused you to lose her.


Ok, you have heard about the things the plastic surgery won’t do for you. Now how about some things it can do for you. It can help you look younger and in turn that may help you feel younger. It can boost your ego and self confidence provided everything else is in line. You might even find yourself in a better social environment than you were in before. But frankly, that’s not going to be the case, unless you take the necessary actions to make positive changes in your life.

You have now had the chance to do some reevaluation and soul searching about cosmetic surgery for men. You are the one that must make the final decision. If it’s for you go for it.
