There has been a significant rise in the number of men opting to undergo lip-plumping procedures, according to a plastic surgeon in Florida.
Dr Rian Maercks told the Daily Mail Online that more and more men were requesting ‘macho mouth’ procedures at his surgery in Miami.
He said the most frequently requested celebrity lips included Henry Cavill, Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum and Harry Styles.
Overall, the number of requested lip injections at his clinic had increased by 74 per cent between 2015 and 2016, with men accounting for 28 per cent of those procedures.
Dr Maercks said, “It all started this year – in a matter of months, male lip fillers became one of the most popular procedures in the clinic.”
“Men are finally becoming more aware of thin lips. Social media, dating apps, selfie culture – that culture has a big part in it. We have never been more encouraged to analyse our facial features.”
In November this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States issued a warning about the dangers of using injectable silicone, which can be used in lip fillers, to enhance body shapes.
Though certain injectable dermal fillers for lips and cheeks are still permitted, no injectable filler is FDA approved to be used in body parts such as the breasts or buttocks.
If you have experienced problems after having lip fillers or implants and think that the issues you faced were the fault of a negligent surgeon or clinic, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Rhinoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure that alters the structure and appearance of the nose. During the healing process, the nasal tissues are extremely delicate and nose surgery patients should avoid doing anything that could risk damage while they are healing. Some patients may wonder whether sneezing episodes could affect their surgical outcome and may want to understand how to mitigate these risks.
This blog will outline what the risks of sneezing are on rhinoplasty results, what the signs of damage are and the actions patients can take to ensure a smooth healing process after nose reshaping surgery.
Sneezing after a nose job can put strain on the delicate nasal tissues as they heal. While it is not possible to completely avoid sneezing, taking precautions can help prevent complications. Forceful sneezing can lead to swelling, bleeding, or even changes in the results of the surgery. To minimise the impact, patients are advised to sneeze with their mouths open, which helps to reduce pressure on the nasal structures during sneezing.
During the initial weeks of recovery, the nose is particularly vulnerable. The internal structures are still settling, and any excessive force could disrupt healing. If sneezing becomes frequent due to allergies or irritants, consult a medical professional for advice on managing symptoms safely.
Proper aftercare is essential for a successful rhinoplasty recovery. Patients should follow their surgeon’s guidance, which typically includes:
If the nose experiences excessive force - whether from a sneeze or accidental impact - patients may be concerned about whether their rhinoplasty results have been affected. Signs of potential damage include:
If any of these signs appear, consult your surgeon promptly to assess whether additional care or adjustments are needed.
While sneezing can put strain on the healing nose and potentially affect rhinoplasty results, all cosmetic surgery carries some level of risk that could occur regardless if the patient sneezes or not. Rhinoplasty is no exception, and while complications are uncommon, they can sometimes occur even when patients carefully follow post-operative care instructions.
Patients should be aware of the warning signs that could indicate a complication, including:
Your surgeon has a legal and ethical duty of care to ensure that procedures like rhinoplasty are carried out safely and to a reasonable standard. This duty extends from the initial consultation through to post-operative care, your safety and wellbeing at every stage.
