Title Methods Men Use to Appear Younger
Text

In American society, it is common for women to do things to "appear" (seem to be) younger than they actually are. But it is becoming "increasingly" (more and more) common for men to "adopt" (use) methods to appear younger, too. Some "work" (are successful), but others are not.

Many men struggle to "accept" (tolerate; learn to live with) "baldness" (the loss of all hair on the head). Some men "fight it" (try to not let something happen) with a "combover," a hairstyle where men who do not have hair on the top of their head brush hair from one side over the top and onto the other side. Usually it looks "odd" (strange) and does not "fool" (trick) anyone except for the man who is doing the combover.

Other men try to make their hair grow back. They purchase expensive chemicals that promise to make their hair grow. Others even have surgery to "implant" (put in) "hair plugs" (hair that is placed on a different part of the body so that it might grow) on their scalp. Some men say that it works, but others "don't see results" (it is not successful).

Some men are even "turning to" (deciding to use or have) "plastic surgery" (cosmetic surgery; surgery intended to improve one's physical appearance). For example, they might choose to have a "face lift" (a surgical procedure in which the skin on one's face is lifted upward to reduce wrinkles), which is much more common among women. Other men choose to have "Botox injections" (a substance placed under the skin with a needle to reduce wrinkles).
