Silicon Valley Ageism Prompts More Men To Get Plastic Surgery
Ageism in the male-dominated tech industry is becoming a problem — convincing some to turn to plastic surgery.
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Ageism is becoming a growing problem in the male-dominated tech industry and some are finding creative ways around it.
“If you look at Facebook, Apple, Google … the average age is 30,” said Dr. Larry Fan, a highly sought-after plastic surgeon in San Francisco. Because of this, Fan says the number of men in the tech industry coming to see him for cosmetic procedures is on the rise. His clients get everything from Botox to filler injections and micro-needling, to more invasive surgeries like chin lifts and liposuction. They are doing it in hopes of competing with their younger counterparts.
