Plastic Surgery for Men: What are the Top Procedures?
We know that male plastic surgery continues to grow in popularity each year. Much like their female counterparts, men are interested in achieving a more vital and younger-looking appearance with the help of facial rejuvenation and body contouring procedures. Today I wanted to take a deeper look into the most recent statistics collected by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to see which cosmetic procedures men are most commonly interested in undergoing.
Rhinoplasty
According to the numbers, rhinoplasty is hugely popular among male patients. Dating back to 2020, roughly 65,000 rhinoplasty procedures are performed on men in the US each year. Rhinoplasty is used to help guys alter the size, shape, and/or contour of the nose, to help them achieve a more balanced and symmetrical facial appearance. It is also one of the cosmetic procedures that can be performed on males under the age of 18.
Eyelid Surgery
Another very commonly performed facial surgery, eyelid surgery (also known as an eyelid lift) was #2 on the list. Eyelid surgery for men accounts for over 45,000 procedures each year in the US. The goal of male eyelid surgery is to provide subtle tweaks to the area around the eyes, and provide a more alert and refreshed appearance without sacrificing any of the patient’s more masculine facial features.
Liposuction
The most popular body contouring surgery for men, liposuction accounts for nearly 23,000 male procedures annually. Liposuction is used to help male patients remove small patches of unwanted fat that accumulate over time. The most common areas for male liposuction include the back, chest, flanks (love handles), abdomen, and neck, but the procedure can be used to remove fat from all over the face and body.
Thankfully, the days when plastic surgery was considered something that was only for women are long gone. Being able to deliver the best possible plastic surgery experience for both male and female patients is a big reason why I’ve been named a Top Doctor in Atlanta for over 20 years, an honor that brings me immense pride.
