More and more men are jumping on the Botox train - and are finding all sorts of reasons to give the toxin¹ a try. 

 

越来越多的男性开始加入了注射肉毒杆菌的行列，还为自己的尝试寻找各种理由。

 

An impressive 453,281 male patients got botulinum toxin injections last year, increasing the number of total procedures by 9.9 percent for both men and women, according to a recent study by the American Society for Aesthetic² Plastic Surgery. 

 

Plastic surgeons have become used to seeing men in their practices. Several of them told the Huffington Post what motivates their male clients to try the procedure, from wanting to remain competitive in the workplace to finding inspiration on social media. 

 

Men too feel pressured to look young and feel that a more youthful appearance might help them to retain their jobs longer, according to the physicians, who said patients from 35 to 65 years old were interested in Botox. 

 

'They're simply having more procedures done because they want to maintain the competitiveness in an increasingly ageist workplace,' Dr Daniel Mills, president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, told the Daily Mail website.
