The shame that once accompanied men having the likes of Botox quote mark

Cosmetic surgery is no longer solely the domain of women, as new figures have shown that there has been a massive increase in the number of guys going under the surgeon's knife in the last 11 months.

According to a study by thegoodsurgeonguide.co.uk, the number of blokes having work done has rocketed by 82 per cent.

London, Cardiff and Swindon are the three areas where guys really believe in cosmetic surgery, with 21 per cent stating they have had Botox or dermal fillers at some point in their lives.

Blokes from Glasgow, Manchester and Dublin, on the other hand, aren't so keen, with just one in 20 saying they have had something done.

Christiana Clogg, co-founder of the researcher, said that the rise in the number of celebrity guys talking about cosmetic surgery has allowed everyday guys to feel more comfortable about theirs.

"The shame that once accompanied men having the likes of Botox is rapidly disappearing - men are now planning it for their futures and openly talking about it," she stated.

Liz Dale, a director of the Harley Medical Group, recently told City AM that taboos surrounding male cosmetic surgery are dying with each passing day.
