More men are embracing cosmetic procedures

Leading plastic surgeons, including the Harley Medical Group and Transform, report record numbers of men shelling out thousands in pursuit of perfection.

Once the preserve of women who had had children, tummy tucks are now topping the wish list among British males, with the Harley Street Clinic recording a 51 per cent increase in men undergoing the procedure over the past 12 months.

There was a 44 per cent increase in chin lifts, a 17 per cent increase in facelifts, and a 57 per cent increase in Botox treatments over the past 12 months. Similar increases were found at Transform clinics, where men now account for 10 per cent of all patients.

Men opting for surgery offered a variety of reasons, with those in their 40s and 50s citing fears that they may be passed over at work in favour of younger colleagues. Second marriages were also a source of anxiety for many middle-aged men, who told doctors they were afraid of looking too old for their younger wives.
