In the past five years, male military personnel have become more likely to resort to liposuction. Previously, there were almost no such patients at plastic surgeons. Such data in an interview with News.ru was voiced by the famous plastic surgeon, the author of many scientific works and inventions Igor Korotky. Of the total number of men who have decided on liposuction, the number of the military is 10%.
The doctor explained that a significant percentage of civil servants who are dissatisfied with being overweight are high-ranking people - colonels and generals. Most often, people in shape want to remove fat in the abdomen, sides, back.
Igor Korotkiy, plastic surgeon, doctor of medical sciences:
There is an opinion that only gay men want to improve their appearance with the help of plastic surgery. In fact, we are more likely to see family people engaged in a courageous occupation. There are also many boxers among them.
Of all people who do liposuction, 85-90% are women and 10-15% are men, the doctor said. The total number of Russians who undergo plastic surgery fluctuates around 1-2%.
It's not about the high cost of plastic surgery. Now, very many can afford operations to improve their appearance. Most are either afraid of such interventions, or do not see the need for them, - said the plastic surgeon.
Liposuction is an operation to surgically remove localized fat deposits. It is performed on a specific area of the body, for example, on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks. After the operation, the figure takes on a more attractive appearance. There are several types of liposuction - tumescent, ultrasonic, laser, RF-liposuction.
Victoria Mescherina, systems psychologist and EFT-therapist:
In recent years, plastic surgery and other beauty procedures have become popular among men in Russia. In Europe and the USA, a similar fashion was 10 years ago and has passed, in Russia it is only gaining momentum. She even affected such a conservative stratum as the military. I think this trend was set by Russian officials, many of them are engaged in disputes and do not have excess weight. Many people want to look good, but do not have the time or desire for sports. So they resort to liposuction.
