MOSCOW, March 4. / TASS /. Men are less likely to seek the services of a plastic surgeon than women, and more often the reason is the desire to be healthy, rather than aesthetic motives. The most popular procedures are removing excess skin around the eyes and solving problems with nasal breathing, Natalya Manturova, chief freelance specialist - plastic surgeon of the Russian Ministry of Health said on Thursday.
"Men prefer to get rid of excess skin around the eyes with age, they prefer to have free breathing if they have had any problems with nasal structures during their life. These are the main male requests. Because men prefer to be healthy, the skin around the eyes is vision, free nasal breathing is the quality of oxygen saturation of your body, "she said on the air of the Doctor TV channel.
Head of the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology, Candidate of Medical Sciences Oleg Nikitin added that another reason for the treatment of men is gynecomastia - a pathological disease of the male mammary glands, manifested in their enlargement. "Gynecomastia is an abnormal development of the breasts. It is interesting that men who go in for sports and to some extent took hormones, the mammary gland grows. This spoils the look a little, even in men of an athletic constitution. And they seek correction, remove breast tissue ", - said the expert on the air.
At the same time, he added that if men still turn to a plastic surgeon, then they are much more demanding on the result than women.
Plastic surgery for girls
Manturova said that women are less and less turning to plastic surgeons with a request to change their appearance in order to look like someone, in particular celebrities, the fashion for naturalness is more prevalent.
“We are talking more and more about the fact that first of all we need to see beauty in our face and not chase after media, recognized in society as beautiful faces, because sometimes these faces are considered beautiful due to the talent and achievements of this or that owner of this face. this face sometimes hides the character, her achievement, - she said. - Today I want to note with pleasure: less and less people turn to us with photographs and the desire to become like this or that famous actress."
Manturova noted that when patients contact them, specialists more and more often tell them that they need to respect themselves and love their appearance. "Maintaining freshness is one conversation, but absolutely and radically changing is not necessary, because there are no ugly people. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, you just need to be able to see it," she added.
"Now patients are more often treated with the aim of making it natural, beautiful, and not being able to see that the operation has been performed. So that those around them notice that the face has not changed, but that it has freshened up, so that no one points a finger and says:" She performed the operation, "Nikitin added.
