A GROWING number of Scottish middle-aged men are turning to cosmetic surgery to help them regain the body of their youth and hold on to their job in an increasingly competitive workplace, figures suggest.
One clinic in Glasgow reported a 150 per cent increase in men over 50 undergoing a technique to remove fat and sculpt the body in the past year.
Elsewhere, surgeons said more men were coming forward for procedures including facelifts and removal of ?moobs? ? man boobs ? as they became more aware of the importance of maintaining their appearance in the business world.
Psychologists said the men believed they needed to look younger and fitter to hold on to their status and fend off younger rivals in the workplace.
Dr Dennis Wolf, joint medical director at The Private Clinic in Glasgow, said that cosmetic treatments had become more affordable in recent years and many men were also more knowledgeable about what therapies or treatments might help them achieve a youthful facade.
