He puts it down to a changing culture that is slowly starting to gone the stigma traditionally attached along with men undergoing cosmetic surgery.

‘Now it’s actually very accessible, it’s becoming acceptable to talk regarding it.’

Dr Norris, that works in Sydney’s affluent eastern suburbs, says he deals along with a diverse range of male patients, that range in age from 18 all of the method to 80.

He says he could box his ‘typical male client’ in to three divide groupings: the standard man that ‘maybe drinks too much and is a bit overweight’, steroid-abusing ‘gym junkies’ that produce unflattering chests through their drug taking, and ‘men that are just overweight.’

He believes that an aging workforce could likewise be a vital factor in the rise of cosmetic surgery among men, as older men attempt to sustain up along with younger employees gunning for their positions.

Another factor could be a building tension from females and partners.

‘Women, that have actually constantly traditionally been the maim cosmetic patient client, they’re turning about to their partners and saying “if you wish to sustain me I expect you to do same thing”,’ said Dr Norris.
