Data on Psychology Described by Researchers at University of Zurich (Men's use of cosmetic surgery and the role of traditional masculinity ideologies).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich explores the use of cosmetic surgery among men and its relationship to traditional masculinity ideologies. The study found that men in Western countries are increasingly using cosmetic surgery, but there is a lack of information on the prevalence, acceptance, and motivations behind this trend. The researchers conducted an anonymous online survey among 241 self-identifying men aged 18 years or older from the German-speaking part of Europe. The study revealed that 19.5% of the men had undergone cosmetic surgery, with the most common procedures being wrinkle treatment, eyelid correction, and head-hair transplant. The main reasons for undergoing surgery were to feel better and look better, while increasing sexual success and manliness were also reported. The study also found a positive association between conformity to traditional masculinity ideologies and men's use of cosmetic surgery, suggesting that men may use these procedures to assert power, success, dominance, and sexual success.
