Men are going under the knife to get a leg up on the competition

A recent study by The Harley Medical Group found that the number of men age 35 and older that have had a tummy tuck has increased over the last year, Spicezee.com reports.

The organization found that the first two months of 2010 saw an increase from 26 to 40 percent in tummy tucks compared to last year.

"Many of the 'man tuckers' are businessmen who have been on a health kick but following weight loss find themselves with loose, overhanging skin on their stomachs," Liz Dale, director of The Harley Medical Group, told the news source.

Dale also said that part of their motivation to get the procedure done comes from competitive work environments.

"Competition in the workplace sees many men fighting to be fit but losing the weight around the midriff can throw up as many problems as it solves," she told the news provider.

Individuals who have undergone any type of cosmetic procedure know that, along with a boost in self-confidence, they may have some scars as a result.

Scar treatment products like silicone gel sheeting and ointments may help diminish the appearance of any scars that are a result of a surgical procedure.ADNFCR-3015-ID-19870364-ADNFCR
