More and more men want to go in for surgery to look younger. The number of men undergoing nip and tuck surgery has rocketed by 140 per cent in five years, reveals a new report.

Once upon a time cosmetic surgery was a woman’s domain, but now men are more than willing to go under the knife to look younger.

Liposuction is the favourite procedure. Fat siphoned off from abdomens, flanks, chests and chins accounts for 24 per cent of all cosmetic surgery on men over 50.

The amount of fat sucked out can range from 50mls to three litres – the equivalent of more than six pints – and a typical procedure costs around £3,700.

One in five operations were to remove eye bags (called blepharoplasty), which is claimed to take 10 years off a man’s appearance. Eye bags can be removed for £2,300.

Facelifts accounted for 14 per cent of all operations, followed by nose jobs at 11 per cent and tummy tucks at eight per cent.

Seven per cent of the older men opted for a neck lift, while brow lifts accounted for five per cent of operations and chin implants three per cent.
