Why not men? Writers from Gulliver’s Travels to Star Trek have used the motif of a foreigner assessing the conventional to show us a rational view of customs we take for granted. Ask yourself if a critical observer of our society would assess the need for aesthetic surgery as being any different for men as opposed to women. The critical word here is need, of course. Consider need to represent a personal desire felt by an individual, something desired to enhance that person’s life through better self-image and expanded opportunities. Would the observer report a difference? Perhaps in an earlier era of our history, but today, the visitor would likely ask “Why not men, too?” There has been a bias even among those of us in plastic surgery against having men as patients. I recall the teaching in my residency that every young man who came to the office requesting a rhinoplasty have a compulsory psychiatric consultation. This is far from common practice today. Although some young male patients may indeed benefit from such a consultation preoperatively, it is unlikely that all male patients seeking nasal surgery would benefit in a significant way. Indeed, this is a practice pattern that has gone the way of the dodo!
