Plastic surgery was once considered a taboo topic, but in recent years, it has become more accepted and normalized. It's no longer just women who are seeking to enhance their appearance through cosmetic procedures. I'm seeing more and more men opting for plastic surgery to address their aesthetic concerns.
Here are some of the most common plastic surgery procedures that men request in my practice:
Gynecomastia surgery
This procedure reduces the appearance of male breasts. This condition can be caused by hormonal imbalances or genetics, and it can be embarrassing for men.
Liposuction
This procedure removes excess fat from the body. Men usually get liposuction to remove stubborn fat that does not respond well to diet and exercise.
Blepharoplasty
Also known as eyelid surgery, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids. Men get blepharoplasty to reduce the appearance of tired eyes or to correct vision problems caused by sagging eyelids.
Facelift
This procedure tightens the skin on the face (which I almost always pair with a neck lift for more comprehensive results). Men get facelifts to reduce the appearance of sagging skin and jowls.
Necklift
This procedure lifts the appearance of the neck. Men get neck lifts to redefine their side profile. This can be done through just an incision under the chin in some men.
In conclusion, plastic surgery is becoming more common among men as they seek to enhance their appearance and boost their confidence. These five procedures are just some of the most popular ones requested by men. If you're considering plastic surgery, it's important to do your research and choose a reputable surgeon who can help you achieve your desired results.
