An increasing number of Aussie males are turning to cosmetic surgery to help them get rid of their ‘dad bod’.
Medical director and principal surgeon at Calibre Clinic Dr Jayson Oates told The Daily Telegraph he has seen a surge in treatments in the lead up to summer.
‘Since spring men have been preparing for the summer days in their togs and there has been a surge in core sculpting where the fat cells are frozen around the abdomen,’ he said.

Dr Oates, the former president of the Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, said if the fat is ‘grabbable’ surgery can make a difference.
‘Fathers are among those wanting to look good. They don’t like the kids telling them they have a dad bod.’
Dr Oates said he has also seen a demand for ‘poolside packages’- a non-surgical procedure using dermal fillers to plump up men’s genitals.
He compares the trend to women wanting to enhance their breasts.

Nearly three-quarters of men think it’s acceptable to undergo anti-ageing treatments, The Daily Telegraph reported.
