Fat, aging men are misguidedly turning to plastic surgery - liposuction and other procedures

Ageing men turn to plastic surgery - Telegraph

Extract:

"The number of middle-aged men undergoing cosmetic surgery has more than doubled in just five years as they struggle to come to terms with "menopaunch", according to a report.

Men aged over 50 are spending thousands of pounds and taking weeks off work to have liposuction and other procedures such as eye bag removal (blepharoplasty) in attempts to remove stubborn fat, says a cosmetic surgery company.


Figures produced by The Harley Medical Group show that liposuction - including work done on the abdomen, flanks, chest and chin areas - accounts for 24 per cent of surgical procedures for 50-something men.

This was followed by blepharoplasty (21 per cent), face lifts (14), rhinoplasty or nose operations, (11), tummy tucks (8), neck lifts (7), brow lifts (5), chin implants (3) and otoplasty or ear surgery (2)."

What a pity these men - and other overweight people too - do not know that the causes of fat retention are mainly sodium and water retention and shortage of calcium and magnesium.

If you believe you have fat retention, then before taking the drastic step of surgery, just TRY significantly reducing your intake of salt and salty food, eat plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables (because their potassium content helps to remove excess sodium and excess water from the body) and make sure you are having sufficient calcium and magnesium and vitamin D. - See http://aboutsalt.blogspot.com/search/label/calcium and BBC webpage about calcium from The Truth About Food series of programmes
