Most Common Reasons Men are Getting Plastic Surgery
The most common reasons why men undergo plastic surgery are to improve their appearance; and to stay competitive in the job market. Men often desire to look more youthful, fit, and masculine to improve many areas of their lives. And plastic surgery can help achieve these goals.
Improvements in appearance can boost self-confidence. As a result, confidence is often noticed by others and met with positive reception.* People often judge others based on their appearance, whether consciously or subconsciously. Studies have shown that more attractive people have better odds of landing a job or promotion.
