Cosmetic Surgery for Men is More Popular Than Ever

, , , , , ,

For many years, there was a misconception that body image and appearance were concerns held exclusively by women. The truth is, this was never the case. However, it’s clearer now than ever before that men are willing to do what it takes to keep themselves looking and feeling their best as they age. Recent statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) back this up. According to their numbers, more than 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on male patients in the US last year alone. But how do we explain this recent increase in the prevalence of male plastic surgery patients?

4 Facts to Know Before Considering Ear SurgeryTo help understand why more men are using cosmetic surgery procedures to improve their appearance, let’s dig into the ASPS statistics. Among male patients, the demand for body contouring procedures has been steadily increasing annually for years. Common body contouring surgeries for men like liposuction (up 23%) and tummy tucks (up 12%) have experienced significant increases over the past five years. Male breast reduction surgery to treat the effects of gynecomastia have increased by about 30% over the same timeframe.

Male cosmetic procedures for the face are also considerably more in-demand today than they were five years ago. Eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty) has become very popular with men who want to refresh the appearance of their face and treat tired-looking eyes. Non-surgical cosmetic facial injections provide men who may not have the time or inclination to undergo a plastic surgery procedure with a non-surgical aesthetic alternative. Last year, almost 100,000 men had dermal filler injections, a 99% increase from the year 2000. Botox® Cosmetic injections have also quadrupled in popularity with men over this time.

Based on these statistics, it’s clear that many male patients pursue cosmetic surgery as a way to turn back the clock and fight the visible signs of aging. This makes sense. It’s important for guys to look and feel young to help compete in the increasingly young and competitive corporate world. The development of surgical techniques specifically intended to treat male patients has certainly contributed. These special techniques for common procedures like eyelid surgery help reassure guys that they will be able to improve their look without sacrificing any of their natural masculinity. Additionally, discretion is a primary consideration of many of the male patients I work with. Advancements in the field of plastic surgery now help plastic surgeons provide the subtle, natural-looking aesthetic results that male patients tend to prefer.

Men who wish to improve a specific aspect of their appearance have no shortage of excellent options. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon who has been performing cosmetic procedures for over 25 years, it has been wonderful to see so many male patients embrace plastic surgery and the incredible results that it can provide.

What Plastic Surgeries Are Common for Male Patients?

, , , , , , ,

These days, I see more male plastic surgery patients than ever before. This is no surprise. We are long past the days when cosmetic procedures were perceived to be exclusively for women. Men of all ages seem eager to rejuvenate their appearances and bring out their best selves with the help of plastic surgery. But what specific plastic surgeries are male patients most interested in? In my experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon, many of the male patients that I have worked with seek cosmetic improvement to help them look younger. Plastic surgery can have an amazing anti-aging effect on areas all over the face and body.

That is precisely why eyelid surgery remains so in-demand for both male and female patients. Although some guys may be concerned that eyelid surgery can make them look effeminate or unmanly, this is not the case. Instead, when performed in a subtle manner, eyelid surgery can help guys turn back the clock by removing pockets of fat and excess skin from the eyelids to refresh the appearance of their face.

Liposuction is also exceedingly popular among male patients. Although it can be performed all over the body, I have found the abdomen, waist, and neck areas to be especially in-demand among men. As we age, fat that accumulates around the waist can be impossible to lose with diet and exercise alone. The same can be said for submental fat under the chin that contributes to the appearance of a double chin. Liposuction can safely remove this fat to provide a trimmer, shapelier contour for the face and body.

Male breast reduction surgery is ideal for men who suffer from gynecomastia (male breast enlargement). By removing the excess glandular breast tissue that leads to the enlargement, male breast reduction can help guys achieve a flatter, more masculine chest.

It’s important to me that every patient I work with, man or woman, feels as if they had the best plastic surgery experience possible. After performing cosmetic procedures for over 25 years, I am confident in my ability to provide the best, longest-lasting aesthetic results for each patient based on their goals, expectations, and unique physical specifications.

Why is Plastic Surgery on the Rise for Men?

, , , , , , ,

Plastic Surgery is on the rise for both women and men alike in the US. In fact, according to recent plastic surgery statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), we know that the number of cosmetic procedures performed on men continues to increase in popularity with every passing year. After all, there is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best and feel confident in your appearance. So, we know that cosmetic surgery is more popular than ever among male patients. But why is this?

Perhaps the increase in demand among male patients can be attributed to recently developed surgical techniques. Even though many men opt for traditional procedures like facelifts, there are now several cosmetic procedures tailored specifically to men like male breast reduction, as well as special techniques for male eyelid surgery. Additionally, some board-certified plastic surgeons are able to provide patients with more natural, subtle aesthetic results that many male patients seem to prefer. In the video below, I discuss plastic surgery for men and a few of the reasons why it has increased in popularity in recent years:

Regardless of the prospective procedure you are considering, it’s essential to find an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform your cosmetic surgery. I have been working with male patients for years and have a deep understanding of what men hope to achieve through cosmetic surgery. I take pride in providing a professional and discreet environment for all my patients, regardless of gender.
