Stigma or not, Moelleken wishes men would become better educated
about cosmetic procedures and come in sooner, before the sagging
skin and droopy eyelids get too severe. He notices that most men
follow his post-op recuperation instructions -- such as resting and
limiting physical activity -- well.
But Olding doesn't see a difference in compliance between men and
women in following his orders after surgery. "It's more
person-specific," he said. "It's not a gender thing."
Experts advise men and women considering cosmetic surgery to
consult with several doctors, to check to see if they are board
certified, and to get an accurate idea of exactly what the doctor
can and can't do to improve their appearance.
