Over the past few years, there has been an upsurge in men requesting plastic surgery procedures. Men with cosmetic concerns like “love handles” or a double chin feel insecure about discussing some of those inconveniences with their peers but have found confidence in the hands of skilled plastic surgeons. Plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures conducted on men have recently increased to almost 30%. The following are the three most common types of outpatient surgeries that are conducted on men.
1. Face
Even though it is not commonly discussed, almost every man cares about his looks, especially the faces they present to the world. To attain this, most of them turn towards specific procedures that can help them achieve the appearance they so desire. Common areas addressed with surgical procedures include the nose, eyes, cheeks, and chin. The following are some facial procedures designed to turn back the hands of time.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reforms the nose. A rhinoplasty is also known as a “nose job” or nose surgery. It is usually an easy procedure to recover from, and patients can resume duties within five to seven days. This surgery is amongst the most conducted plastic surgeries among men. There are many considerations for performing rhinoplasty on men, such as skin thickness and the presence of a deviated septum, meaning it’s important to seek out the most knowledgeable plastic surgeons.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, often referred to as eyelid surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyes by removing drooping, loose skin and restoring a more awake and youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery is among one of the most common cosmetic procedures for men due to its ability to enhance one’s appearance and vision. It can address the upper eyelid and lower eyelid together or independently.
Ear Surgery
Ear surgery is a minimally-invasive treatment that can reduce the proportion and projection of large, prominent ears. It involves reducing cartilage and excess tissue and repositioning the ear to be flatter against the head. It can produce permanent results and boost confidence in men who have large, noticeable ears.
Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery for men can help rejuvenate the lower face and neck. This cosmetic surgery can get rid of extra skin and excess fat under the chin, creating a more sculpted, defined look. This plastic surgery procedure can be combined with a facelift for even better results.
2. Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition that can occur at any age and involves men developing enlarged breast tissue. This condition lowers self-confidence and may bring about emotional discomfort. Gynecomastia surgery, often referred to as male breast reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure in which breast tissue is reduced and flattened, creating more masculine chest contours. Where there is the presence of excess fatty tissue in the breast area, the patient also undergoes a liposuction process. Sagging skin can also be removed, such as after significant weight loss. Male breast reduction is one of the most popular male plastic surgery procedures.
3. Abdomen
Especially as we age, it is normal to see more stubborn fat around the stomach area. Despite a healthy diet and regular exercise, it can be difficult to lose this excess fat without a procedure or treatment. There are plastic surgery procedures men may benefit from, such as the following.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes and slims certain body areas, such as the waist, abdomen, and hips (love handles). Liposuction can help reveal the natural contour of the treatment area when diet and exercise fail to achieve a certain body type. It is an outpatient procedure that requires a few weeks of minimal recovery. Patients get back to normal routines and duties within 5-7 days.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks can vary depending on the patient’s needs, but at the end of the day they can remove inches off your waist or stomach. This is one of the few plastic surgery procedures that removes excess skin and fat at the same time. It can also tighten the underlying musculature when it becomes stretched with weight gain. The optimal results are a trimmer stomach and less sagging skin.
