While women continue to make up the majority of plastic surgery patients, the stigma around men getting cosmetic procedures has begun to lessen. Men deserve to feel confident in themselves from head to toe, which is why more men are choosing to undergo plastic surgery. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most popular cosmetic procedures for men.
Can Men Get Plastic Surgery?
The short answer is yes, of course! Cosmetic procedures continue to rise in popularity among men, making it less of a stigma and more of a societal norm. Like their female counterparts, men choose to undergo plastic surgery procedures for various reasons, such as the desire to restore a youthful appearance or maintain masculine contours as they age. Below, we will cover several popular procedures among male plastic surgery patients.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Men with enlarged or overdeveloped breasts often suffer from gynecomastia, which can be caused by hormonal changes, aging, or the use of certain drugs. Male breast reduction surgery is an option that can correct this condition. Gynecomastia surgery can help reduce the size of male breasts and enhance chest contours, creating a masculine appearance that can provide men with improved self-esteem.
You’re a good candidate for gynecomastia when:
- You’re healthy with no pre-existing medical conditions
- Don’t smoke or are willing to quit
- Have realistic result expectations
- Alternative methods and medical treatments have not produced desired results
Techniques for treating gynecomastia include liposuction to loosen excess fat, excision to remove excess skin, fat, and tissue, or a combination of both. During your consultation, Dr. David Morales will assess your condition and recommend the right techniques.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a top cosmetic procedure for men that targets or removes stubborn fat to sculpt the flanks and abdomen. Some men also opt to have liposuction surgeries to shape their chest, arms, neck, back, and chin.
It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss tool, and not all men are ideal candidates for it. Liposuction may be a suitable procedure if you’re healthy and within your ideal body weight but desire more improvements to sculpt your body.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Saggy or droopy eyelids can negatively affect a man’s appearance—and getting upper eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can remedy the problem. Upper eyelid surgery for men is performed a little differently due to the features of the typical male face and eyelids. A man’s eyelids are usually fuller, while the eyelid crease is lower. Upper eyelid surgery takes about an hour, and other procedures, such as brow lifting or ptosis repair, can be combined for optimal results.
Rhinoplasty
Men, too, can get a nose job to improve their appearance or remedy certain medical conditions. Men and women alike opt for rhinoplasty if they feel their nose is asymmetrical, a little wide or large, or if it has a bump on the bridge. An experienced and skilled surgeon can achieve a proportionate look to ensure your new nose complements your facial features.
During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will examine your nasal structure and advise on the most appropriate procedure for the best results. They may perform an open or closed rhinoplasty to reshape your nose and help you achieve a refined masculine look.
Male Facelift
Dr. Morales offers a specialized male facelift to target the lower two-thirds of the face, focusing on the chin, jawline, and neck. Male facelift surgery can create rejuvenating results, eliminating and smoothing signs of aging. A male facelift pays special attention to the unique features of the male face, taking factors like facial hair, thicker skin, and fibrous fat into consideration. The procedure can emphasize a strong chin and restore a well-defined jawline, creating a masculine contour.
Pectoral Implants
Men can opt for pectoral implants to enhance the look and shape of their chest. Pectoral implants can make your chest look more muscular, increasing confidence and self-esteem. Some men may also get pectoral implants to treat issues like a protruding chest or to restore its shape after an injury.
