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.

A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose with the goal of improving its appearance or nasal structure. People will often get a rhinoplasty procedure to improve their confidence in their appearance, with the goal of the surgery to harmonise their facial features or potentially improve their nasal function.
Does a rhinoplasty last forever? Rhinoplasty results are generally long-lasting, but they are not necessarily fully permanent. While the structural changes made during surgery are intended to be enduring, there are various factors that can change the nose's appearance over time.
This guide explains what patients can expect from rhinoplasty, what factors affect the longevity of results and understanding the signs that a rhinoplasty surgery has gone wrong.
Several factors determine how long results from a nose job last, including:
To achieve the best possible outcome from a rhinoplasty, patients should take several steps before and after surgery:
As with any plastic surgery, there will always be risks. While most rhinoplasties are successful, there are cases where results do not meet expectations or complications arise. Some signs that a rhinoplasty may have gone wrong include:
If a rhinoplasty has led to complications, seek medical advice. You may wish to seek a second opinion from the surgeon who performed your surgery.
What is your rhinoplasty surgeon's duty of care to you?
A rhinoplasty surgeon has a duty of care to ensure the procedure is performed safely and to a high standard. This responsibility covers all stages of the process, from consultation to recovery. Their key obligations include:
If a surgeon fails in their duty of care - whether through poor technique, inadequate advice during the consultation or after surgery, or neglecting post-operative issues - this may be considered negligence.
