Post-pregnancy \u201cmommy makeover\u201d procedures \u2014 a plastic surgery combo \nof liposuction, tummy tuck and a breast lift or augmentation \u2014 have been\n popular for years, but now men of a certain age are shelling out for \nwhat some experts are dubbing the \u201cdaddy do-over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For \u201cdad,\u201d the surgeries typically include liposuction of the chest, abs and flanks (sides and back), and it\u2019s becoming more popular with New York men trying to get an edge at work \u2014 and on the beach. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that more than 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on people identifying as male in 2018, an increase of 29% since 2000. While this study doesn\u2019t confirm that any of these men are actually \u201cdads,\u201d the demographics suggest these men are experiencing the effects of \u201cdad bod\u201d and want a fix \u2014 stat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor women, they are obviously experiencing the physical changes that come with pregnancy and having a baby, but for men, it\u2019s more about the change in lifestyle that having children brings, as well as the typical factors that come with aging,\u201d Dr. Alan Matarasso, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, tells The Post. \u201cAt around age 35, fat distribution in both genders changes. Even if your weight stays the same. Being a parent exacerbates it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matarasso says he\u2019s seen more men at his Upper East Side practice requesting all sorts of cosmetic procedures. In 2018, according to the report, the most popular procedures for men were injectibles (toxins and fillers), breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, rhinoplasty (nose jobs) and eyelid surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter having kids, your life changes,\u201d Matarasso says.\u201dMaybe you \nused to go play basketball every Sunday and burn 1,000 calories and now \nyou\u2019re at the Central Park Zoo on Sunday instead. Without those \nbasketball Sundays, you could gain a pound a month and it becomes harder\n and harder to lose it later in life. Some of my patients won\u2019t even put\n on a T-shirt. They tell me they feel like they have a B-cup. That\u2019s why\n we\u2019re calling it the \u2018daddy do-over.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of Matarasso\u2019s patients, a 57-year-old Hell\u2019s Kitchen restaurateur who asked to be identified only as Russell, says he wanted to look good at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russell had Botox and fillers in the past but never invasive surgery \nuntil January, where he underwent a version of the \u201cdaddy do-over,\u201d with\n liposuction of the chest, flanks and abdomen. Although he says he was \nnever a heavy guy and was always in good shape, he started to notice \nweight around his waist that wouldn\u2019t go away. The doctors told him the \nfull results wouldn\u2019t appear for five months, but just three weeks after\n surgery, he was shirtless on the beach and says, \u201cI look better than I \ndid when I was 30.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wants to do his neck next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to age gracefully while spending $30,000 a year on cosmetic treatments,\u201d Russell says with a laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
