Building the Perfect Face: New Trends in Cosmetic Surgery for Men

BY LESLEY ROTCHFORD

http://www.details.com/health-fitness/grooming/201303/men-getting-multiple-plastic-surgeries-botox-liposuction-rhinoplasty

 

Despite being chronically sleep-deprived and frequently hungover, not to mention regularly stressed by the 13-hour days he puts in as a banker in Manhattan, Nick (not his real name) looks remarkably well rested and considerably younger than his 31 years. His secret? Six months ago, Nick went to New York City-based plastic surgeon Stafford R. Broumand for neck liposuction, a half-hour procedure that yields a more dramatic jawline. “If you work hard and play hard, it’s impossible to keep your neck as tight as you want,” Nick says. “I was already busting my ass working out four days a week, but nothing was happening there, so I figured why not?”

 

Nick’s desire for more masculine facial definition represents the new front line of cosmetic surgery for men. In faces, as in fashion, what’s hot changes. Square jaws (think Jon Hamm, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Craig) are in, replacing yesterday’s pert-nose-and-dainty-chin combo (Leonardo DiCaprio, Zac Efron, Tobey Maguire). “There’s less of a desire now for a conventionally beautiful white-bread face,” says Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, an associate professor of plastic surgery at UCLA School of Medicine. “People are embracing strong features like ethnic, nontraditional noses.” For example, in lieu of full-on rhinoplasty, many men are balancing their naturally big noses with chin implants (which have recently spiked by 71 percent, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons) or opting to have their noses trimmed back. (Doctors can shave down the bone and cartilage with a file.) “I did a rhinoplasty and a chin implant on a famous actor who had a monster nose and no chin. We left a bit of a bump in the nose, so it still looked like his, just a better version,” says Dr. Darrick Antell, assistant clinical professor of surgery at Columbia University. “No one, including the producer on his next project, noticed he’d had a nose job.”

 

Fortunately for the time-strapped power player, facial surgery can now be fit into the tightest of schedules. “Instruments have gotten smaller, which means incisions are smaller and heal faster,” Antell says. Micro-liposuction can clean up the jawline-which can become slack when you’re in your thirties because of excess fat or sun exposure-in half an hour under mild sedation, with no sutures and only minor bruising. Some new procedures don’t require any slicing-Ultherapy, a nonsurgical face-lift, uses ultrasound technology to heat the skin, causing collagen (the fibrous protein that gives skin its elasticity) to contract while stimulating the production of new, tighter tissue. “This is an ideal procedure for guys in their thirties who are starting to see some skin laxity. The results are subtle but significant, and patients can go back to work the next day,” says Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City.

 

The only downside to these subtler, more convenient procedures is that they can become like cookies or cocaine-it’s easy to get hooked (paging Bruce Jenner . . .). “Some men have one procedure, find they still don’t feel great about themselves, and go in for another, and another,” says Dr. Deborah Schooler, an assistant professor of psychology at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. But the benefits of these procedures go beyond physicality: Research from the University of Texas shows that good-looking people get hired sooner, land promotions faster, and earn an average of 3 to 4 percent more than those with below-average looks. “Your appearance impacts what happens to you in the workplace, which is becoming leaner, meaner, and younger, so some men see plastic surgery as a strategy to boost their company’s bottom line and their own salary,” says Dr. David B. Sarwer, an associate professor of psychology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. When it comes to the face, a dollar spent may be a dollar earned. “Looking like I did five years ago definitely affects how I feel about myself, even at work,” says one 38-year-old fashion-company owner who lives in New York City and has had his jawline tightened. “It’s empowering.”

中国人が美容整形に熱中するのはなぜか？

http://j.people.com.cn/94475/8410408.html

美容整形は社会の風潮においてある種の流行になっている。中国人はなぜ美容整形にハマるのだろう。

曾さんはある外資系企業で8年就業し、もうすぐ管理職に昇進するかもしれない。今年の年末休暇、

彼女は韓国へ行くことにした。他でもない自分の容貌を完璧にしようと思い立った。

もともと、彼女は農村家庭出身で、長い間自分の頑張りで学業を修め、博士課程を卒業して今の外資系企業に入った。

人並み程度の容貌の彼女だが、もう一つのところでチャンスを逃してきた。今年の昇進レースでとうとう、

自分の実力でライバルを出し抜き栄光を手にしたのだ。

これまでチャンスを逃してきた理由を、彼女はどれも第一印象があまり強くないからだと思っている。

「他の人が私の弁舌を耳にするまで、容貌は最初の名刺になります」。曾さんは、人並み以上の容貌があれば仕事は上手くいくようになり、

職場でも余裕で戦えると考えている。

現実社会では、同じ条件であれば、容貌が人並み以上の人はチャンスに恵まれ、成功することができる。

だから、求職者が美容整形という大変さを背負うのは、良い仕事を見つけて会社に良い印象を与え、

周囲の人に自分を認めてもらいたいがためだ。ある程度までなら、理解できる社会現象といえよう。
