Botox and fillers in men up 70% as they want celebs’ younger looks

The Mirror · Expert comment · 13 January 2024

In January 2024 The Mirror reported a 70% rise in men having toxin and filler as more seek a younger, more defined look inspired by celebrities.

What Dr Ed said

Dr Ed, an aesthetic doctor with a background in NHS anaesthesia and clinics in the North West, described the kinds of references men bring to consultations.

“Many patients bring in photos of celebrities like Liam Payne from One Direction as inspiration for treatment, asking for fillers and Botox to achieve his look.”

Quoted exactly as published by The Mirror on 13 January 2024.

He said a quarter of the patients he treated that year were men, and that the taboo around male cosmetic treatment is gradually breaking down.

Clinical context

Celebrity images can be a useful starting point for conversation, but a man's own bone structure, skin and proportions decide what is realistic, and some changes seen in photographs come from surgery, lighting or editing. Male treatment often focuses on the jawline, chin and upper face, with doses and placement adapted to stronger muscles.
