It once seemed like only women were partaking in the joys of plastic surgery. However, men have long jumped on to the trend
– and now even those with kids are finding the time to go under the knife. A number of cosmetic specialists have now revealed that they are seeing more and more dads making an appointment with them in a bid to improve their appearance.
Dr Jayson Oates recently revealed that an increasing number of fathers are turning to surgery due to an unhappiness over their ‘dad bods’. This is a term used for men who have fallen out of shape, and therefore could be in need of liposuction, pectoral implants or similar treatments. Dr Oates – a former president of the Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery – told Mail Online that dads are turning to cosmetic procedures in an effort to ‘sculpt’ their figure. Talking to the news outlet, he said: “Certainly since spring we have seen an increasing interest in core sculpting.” Before adding: “We can tell a good candidate by the amount of fat we can grab.”
Meanwhile, the same trend has been seen in the United States. Last year, Dr. Doris Day revealed that cosmetic work had become a popular option amongst fathers because the procedures have become quicker and safer than ever before. She told Fox News: “The fact that we have so many treatments now that have little-to-no downtime and are minimal to non-invasive, it’s really opened up the market to men.”
But what is it that’s causing men to consider plastic surgery in the first place? Well, according to Dr Day fathers are seeking these life-changing treatments because they are conscious of how the pressures of work and raising a family have taken a toll on their appearance. She added: “Their children are graduating, getting married and having children themselves, and they want to look good for those events.”
For evidence, just look no further than dad-of-three Tom Cruise. The movie star is believed to have had a nose job and Anti Wrinkle injections to maintain his youthful complexion as a father. Tom has kept his cards close to his chest on this front though – choosing to let his ageless complexion speak for itself instead!
