The Daddy Do-Over? Men are jumping on the Brotox Bandwagon

May 16, 2016 by Melissa Chapman 7 Comments

I have always had a thing for older men. In fact, I married a man who is 15 years older than me and constantly tell him he SHOULD NOT color his gray hair (mainly because I don’t want him to walk around with a head looking like its covered in shoe polish but I digress). To me his deep-set wrinkles remind me of his distinguished life and honestly I am more attracted to him now than I was 20 years ago when we first met. Now however, I am thinking getting a little Brotox and maybe even an eye job would do my sugar daddy good.

While many men are turning to fitness and diet to slow the aging process many are also turning back the clock care of a little surgical nip and tuck to compete in an increasingly younger workforce and to equally look the part.But what truly drives a man to get plastic surgery? We all have heard of the Mommy Makeover, but what about a Daddy Do Over?  Are men getting facial enhancements and cosmetic surgery to make themselves more marketable when looking for a  job?  Is it more important now seeing how there are so many younger job candidates?

The Daddy Do Over? Men are JUMPING on the Brotox Bandwagon

We chatted with Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc, a board-certified plastic surgeon and member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery based in New York,  to find out what men are looking for in regards to improvements for job purposes, what the most requested procedures men are asking for and what is involved in a Daddy Do Over.

MMSD: What are the most requested cosmetic surgeries or makeovers men are asking for? Has there been a change in recent years?

 I think one of the biggest changes for men in recent years is the growth in skin tightening procedures.  There are a few popular modalities, and in my office I often use Radio Frequency and Ultrasound technologies.  In fact, I often use both on the same patients.  For men, I will often tighten the face with Thermi and use Ultherapy to tighten neck and chin.
And of course, there are injectables.  The most popular cosmetic procedures for both women AND men are injectables.  I like to treat guys with Xeomin, which we call XeoMan in my practice, and Radiesse.
Liposuction is the most popular surgery requested by men — and that has been the case for quite some time.

MMSD: What are the procedures that offer a quick fix with less down time that men are using in 2016?

XeoMan – is obviously the most popular.  Throw in a little filler and you can be in and out of the office in half a hour.  This addresses two of the main issues men come to me for  – the XeoMan relaxes the muscles and the Radiesse and Belotero fills the wrinkles.

MMSD: How often do you find men requesting surgery to further their professional careers?
It is not uncommon for men to request surgery.  Men in their 50s and 60s are competing for jobs with younger men, who have lower salary requirements.  These men want to look younger so they can compete in the work place. Typically men have men have liposuction or want to get rid of the laxity of their neck.  For the neck we often will do a neck lift or liposuction of the neck, and often we will pair that with a skin tightening procedure.
MMSD: What type of male clients are you seeing?
According to the ASAPS statistics, about 10% of the cosmetic procedures performed nationwide are done on men.  However, in my practice, which pulls heavily from Manhattan’s financial district, our patient populations is about 25% men.
The men I see what to look natural.  They want to make sure they will look like themselves, and are often worried that surgery might make their faces look to feminine.  It is important for
MMSD: Since some men feel there is a negative stigma to cosmetic surgery which procedures yield the best results without looking like you have had something done?
Everyone should be careful when choosing a plastic surgeon.  But men should probably be a little more careful because you do not want to feminize the face.  So you need to go to a doctor who you really trust – because with men the margin of error should be zero.  They usually can not hide scars behind their hair, or cover up imperfections with make-up.
Skin tightening procedures can look very natural.  Men look a little tighter and lifted, but not like they had any work done.  These procedures are especially good for the chin and neck — a problem area men often come in looking to fix.  Toxins and fillers done in a natural way – can also look really natural.  And with a really  good doctor, a blepheroplasty (eye surgery) can look natural and masculine too.

MMSD: What is the biggest difference you find in your interactions with men vs. women who come to your office asking for a procedure?

Men do not listen.  They have a hard disengaging  from the world – and sometimes, especially with surgery, they need to. Women are usually better about following direction.

    It is kind of sad people feel they need cosmetic surgery to compete at the work market, and I’d say to change a career path… At the same time, great that there are so many options for those who want them.

    OMG! This is awesome. I have never heard of the term Brotox! I have to say – if it makes them happy, that’s all that matters.

    Although it is stereotypically true that men age more gracefully and develop a better facial structure as they progress through age but this doesn’t limit them to go through plastic surgery for whatsoever reason including an even better look at old age. http://www.drgavinsandercoe.com.au/
