Men and plastic surgery

 Men and plastic surgery

There is a common misconception in the world of plastic surgery that all clients are women. Over the past two decades, the number of men seeking plastic surgery has increased by 106%. Men seek plastic surgery to look good and still be competitive in the workforce. They come from all walks of life, but most men see plastic surgery as a way to reach the end. Here's what men look for when searching for plastic surgery.

Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery is the most common procedure for men. It can be used to remove the soft tissue over the eyes, reduce the fatty puffy pads under the eyes, and reduce the side protrusion of the eyebrows. All of these changes help create a more youthful and vibrant appearance which can be important to the way a person is viewed socially and in the workplace.

Rhinoplasty

The proverbial nose job is becoming more and more popular among men looking to correct artifacts of past fractures, give their face better proportions, or increase the strength of their appearance. Believe it or not, most people recover from a rhinoplasty in just one week.

Neck lift

The sagging skin on the neck can make a person appear heavier, even if they are not gaining weight. It can also add to the perception that a person has advanced in age and can soften a strong jaw line or chin. A neck lift can convey youth and energy while making the face more masculine by accentuating the jaw line. Surgery is very common, performed on an outpatient basis, and usually leaves patients ready to return to social life in less than two weeks.

Chin augmentation

Chin implants are one of the rapidly growing subcategories of plastic surgery performed by skilled surgeons. Chin implants can improve the protection of the lower jaw and make it appear more masculine. The procedure often involves the use of liposuction and may or may not involve the use of a prosthetic implant. Chin augmentation, neck lift and jaw sculpting are often combined to achieve a comprehensive end result that conveys youth and strength. This combined surgery is often referred to as a "Forbes Facelift".

Gynecomastia surgery

With the increase in the use of prescription medications, gynecomastia (breast growth in men) is becoming an increasingly common problem. Removing excess tissue is a simple procedure that can improve appearance and confidence.

By the numbers

If you are a man interested in plastic surgery, you are far from lonely. In 2021, more than 80,000 men have had rhinoplasty alone, and nearly 500,000 have received botox injections. Whether you live in Hollywood, California or Des Moines in California, plastic surgery is not only suitable for men, it is extremely common. If you are interested in plastic surgery, make an appointment to consult a surgeon to see your options.
