Older men in Silicon Valley are reportedly feeling the effects of ageism – so much so that it's driving some of them to get cosmetic procedures, according to news website CBS SF Bay Area.

San Francisco-based plastic surgeon Dr Larry Fan claimed that more men in the tech industry are getting procedures such as Botox, filler injections and micro-needling to invasive surgeries like chin lifts and liposuction. He added that these men believed such procedures would help them stay ahead of their younger counterparts.
