Growing Plastic Surgery Trends for Men

For decades, the majority of plastic surgery patients have been women. But the number of men undergoing cosmetic procedures in recent years is surging, thus changing the landscape in plastic surgery and creating a new trend. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2018 there was a total of *15,983,765 cosmetic procedures performed, and out of this *1,306,844 were male related.

Some men take very good care of themselves and just like women, they also want to look as good as they feel which is highly appreciated. We have picked the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures which are shaping the growing plastic surgery trends for men.

1. Gynecomastia surgery

Having excess fat and skin of the breast can affect the shape and size of the nipple-areolar complex and have a feminizing effect on the male chest. This can easily demoralize most males. However, combining Vaser liposuction with direct excision of any sub-areolar glandular elements with or without areolar reduction can help in achieving a masculine chest. Males who are in their teenage years to those who are in their late fifties seek this treatment to help restore the loss of tone in their chest area.

2. Eyelid rejuvenation

Visible signs of aging affect all genders equally. Having lateral brows over the upper eyelids, loose hanging furrowed skin and bulging fat pads below the eyelids with accentuated tear troughs put forth the image of fatigue and loss of vitality. This often results in you answering unwanted questions from friends and colleges of whether you are tired or if you are getting enough sleep. Fortunately, the lower eyelids can be rejuvenated by removing excess fat and skin and repositioning the tissue over the cheek to eliminate the tear trough. The upper eyelids can be restored to a crisp appearance with the correction of any eyelid droop. Eyelid rejuvenation can be combined with skin and muscle tightening to provide a fresh and vibrant appearance.

3. Neck lift

Having a turkey neck can be pretty annoying for some individuals as it can make you look heavier than you really are. A man should ideally have a strong jawline and a crisp-neck junction. Having hanging skin on the neck which sometimes comes with excess fat can obscure the jawline and put forth an image of premature aging. A neck lift can be a valuable tool when it comes to restoring your appearance and conveying energy and youth.

4. Rhinoplasty

Proportionality is crucial to your appearance. If you are unhappy with the way your nose blends with the rest of the face or its shape, you can request a plastic surgeon to perform a facial analysis of you. If the nose seems big, it might make the lower face look out of place. Combining a chin augmentation with a rhinoplasty can provide a harmonious facial appearance. It is important to consult with an Expert Plastic Surgeon as rhinoplasty requires the finesse and keen understanding of the anatomy of many sub-units of the nose. The key is to provide a natural-looking nose without feminizing it.

5. Chin augmentation

It is important for the facial sub-units to be proportionate to each other, as mentioned above. When the lower jaw projection is limited by a lack of growth, it usually portrays a weaker jaw with less than a masculine appearance. An Expert Plastic Surgeon can provide an enhanced projection with an implant or repositioning the bone along with jawline liposuction to create a sculpted jaw that projects strength.
