Neckand Jaw Tightening is Gaining Popularity Among Men

December 11, 2013 By Carlo Honrado

Why are men seeing neck/jaw tightening more than ever?

In-office aesthetic and cosmetic procedures are becoming more accessible, minimally invasive and affordable and with hardly any downtime, men are taking note.  Nip/tucks to jaws, necks and chins have become one of the hottest trends in male cosmetic surgery.  The workplace is more cutthroat then ever with corporate downsizing, jobs going overseas or becoming obsolete due to computers. It’s no wonder men are just as eagerly looking into many of the same resources as women to turn back the clock and gain a competitive edge.  It’s empowering and they are reaping from the effect it’s having on hire-ability and salaries.  Freezers and fillers have been more popular than ever with men seeking a leg up over their contemporaries. And now the focus has shifted to slack necks and jaws. A more youthful look in a potential hire gives the perception of capability, energy and room to grow within a company.  A tighter and more sculpted jaw creates a more youthful and fresh appearance.  Financially it pays to work on one’s appearance.  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.

Chins are in!

Medical professionals can’t help but take notice of the latest spike in stats for male plastic surgery (rhinoplasty, eyelids, liposuction and breast reduction, fillers, freezers and lasers).  The cosmetic goal of rhinoplasty in men is to straighten or diminish an unsightly bump and more then ever they are being accompanied by a chin implant to create a balanced, more masculine profile.  There is a new trend is larger noses being minimally filed and balanced by a stronger chin implant.  Chin implants have increased by 71 percent according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.  Chins are in and all eyes are on men’s jawlines.

How can ThermiLift help men look younger?

There has been a steady rise of male patients, in their mid-thirties and up, booking consults with me asking what they can do about a jaw that has gone a bit slack.  No amount of gym trips, spin classes or juice cleanses will directly and specifically address the fat around the neck and chin the way a plastic surgeon can with a minimally invasive procedure such as ThermiLift.  I am thrilled to be able to offer men the ThermiLift advantage to treat this area specifically.  Cutting out alcohol, late nights and pizza can help reduce bloat but the neck/jaw is a body part that simply cannot be targeted with exercise and diet alone.  Liposuction of the neck is one procedure that has gained a huge amount of popularity in men, but it can leave patients with a flap of slack skin or “turkey neck.”  ThermiLift is perfect for this “in-between” man who works hard and plays hard and has no time to deal with recovering from plastic surgery. With ThermiLift’s micro-instruments, no sedation, incisions so tiny they don’t require sutures, no bruising and only mild-post-procedure swelling, I am able to refine and rejuvenate a man’s lax jawline in my office in under in hour.  The jaw-line redefined with ThermiLift, a subtle and convenient office-procedure is becoming the go-to for all my male patients.
