Kiwi blokes have caught on to the benefits of cosmetic surgery and are going under the knife in record numbers.
Plastic surgeons say they are dealing with a steady stream of men wanting to improve their looks by having noses reshaped, eyebrows lifted, “man boobs” reduced, or excess fat removed.
“Men are no different from women in that they like to look as good as they can,” said Christchurch plastic surgeon Howard Klein, who estimates that men now make up 15-20% of his patients.”
