The top cosmetic surgery treatments for men

 According to new figures, men are now just as worried about their appearance as women. As a result, cosmetic surgeons say they have never had so many male clients. Here are more of the most popular treatments British men are choosing.

Chin implants
Earlier this year, plastic surgeons in the US reported a rise in requests from men to give them a strong chin.

They said many of their patients felt a more masculine jawline would make them appear more aggressive in the workplace and help their careers.

The most requested chin-types were those sported by Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the infamous Douglas chin on both Kirk and son Michael. A separate survey of patients at the Beverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery found that the most desirable chin and lips also belonged to Brad Pitt.

There are two ways that men can improve their jawline; with implants or by having the jaw advanced. Chin implants are usually made of silicone and are inserted either under the chin or through the mouth so you cannot see the scars. You can even ask for a dimple to be added a la Kirk Douglas, as part of the implant. The procedure normally lasts for about 45 minutes. Chin implants cost from £3,500 upwards.

The problem with chin implants is they can get infected, slip out of position or even wear away the chin bone. This makes the jaw recede even further than before the implant was inserted. If this happens, the implant can be removed and patients can opt for a different, more painful chin operation.

This involves the surgeon making a small cut on the inside of the lower lip next to the gum and slicing through the jawbone. The bottom section of the jaw is then brought forward to enhance the jawline. The whole procedure can take up to three hours and patients will feel uncomfortable for three weeks after the operation.

Liposuction
The Transform Group, the country's largest chain of cosmetic surgery clinics, claims 15 per cent of its liposuction patients are men. They normally ask for the operation to get rid of love handles, a sagging chest or to flatten the stomach.

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic operation in the United States. A number of tiny cuts are made and the surgeon inserts a thin tube, called a cannula, under the skin. The cannula is moved around in different directions to suck out fat. Only two to three litres of fat should be removed in each operation to limit the amount of blood lost.

The length of the operation depends on the area being treated, but for hips and thighs it takes one hour. If you have had two - three litres of fat removed you will have to stay in hospital overnight. After the operation you will have to wear an elastic pressure garment to stop fluid collecting under the skin - for about three weeks.

Liposuction can also be used in a procedure called abdominal etching. This involves a small amount of fat being removed from the stomach in a straight line from the belly button upwards. This creates a crease in the stomach and emphasises the sought-after six-pack. Liposuction costs from £2,000 upwards depending on what area you are having treated.

Rhinoplasty (Nose job)
Many men may have broken their nose playing sports others are just unhappy with their appearance. This makes rhinoplasty - more commonly known as a nose job - one of the most popular operations for men in the UK.

Rhinoplasty is quite a straightforward procedure. The operation is normally carried out inside the nose so no scars can be seen from the outside. A cut is made inside the nostrils and the skin of the nose is then lifted upwards to allow access to the cartilage and bones underneath. The cartilage and bones are then altered by the surgeon to fit the patient's requirements and the skin is later draped back over the new nose.

The operation normally takes about two hours and patients will have stay in hospital overnight. When the patient wakes up, there will be a splint over their nose to keep it in place and lots of swelling around the eyes. It normally takes about three weeks for the signs of surgery to disappear and the new nose will not reach its final look until aound six months after the operation. Costs vary from clinic to clinic but expect to pay around £3,000.

Other treatments
Other popular treatments for men include having the bags under the eyes removed, an operation TV presenter Michael Aspel has admitted to; having ears pinned back, hair transplants and laser therapy to cure snoring.
