Regardless of age or gender, most individuals want to look and feel their best.
This desire, paired with changing attitudes about plastic surgery, has encouraged more men to seek cosmetic treatments.
Like women, these guys hope to correct or enhance their appearance and are turning to plastic surgeons to help them achieve smoother skin, sculpted bodies, and refined jawlines. In fact, the same surgeries that are favored by female patients are just as appealing to a lot of men.
Here are the top 10 cosmetic treatments among men.
1. Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin, lifts droopy lids, and targets bulging fat under the eyes to help men look brighter and more awake.
Guys also prefer this cosmetic treatment because it results in minimal scarring and conceals any evidence of plastic surgery.
2. Neck Lift
A turkey neck is dreaded by women and men, but it’s especially bothersome to guys because it can make them look heavier and wider.
Fortunately, a neck lift can create a stronger jawline, eliminate a double chin, elongate the neck, and slim a man’s overall appearance.
3. Rhinoplasty
Men often seek surgical and non-surgical nose jobs to reduce the size or change the shape of their nose. This procedure can address bumps, fill-in depressions, and also improve breathing.
4. Chin Augmentation
For guys with a naturally weak chin, an augmentation can change the contour and size of the chin for a more masculine facial structure.
In addition, this cosmetic treatment may be performed in conjunction with a rhinoplasty for more balanced facial proportions.
5. Liposuction
Liposuction is a safe and effective body-contouring treatment that helps men destroy stubborn fat pockets for a leaner and more sculpted torso.
It’s particularly popular among younger guys who want to target diet and exercise resistant fat on their abdomen and flanks.
6. Hair Transplant Surgery
Male pattern baldness affects millions of American men every year, and hair transplant surgery is considered by many to be the gold-standard for decreasing shedding and restoring hair fullness and density.
7. Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)
Enlargement of male breast tissue can cause men to feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about their bodies.
Male breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and flattens the chest to improve confidence and appearance.
8. Botox and Dermal Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Men often treat their crow’s feet and frown lines with these non-surgical injections to look younger and well-rested.
Plus, Botox and fillers are typically painless and require zero downtime.
9. Pectoral Implant Surgery
To get a more toned and defined chest, male patients may turn to silicone pectoral implants that are surgically placed under the pectoral muscle.
10. Ear Surgery (Setback Otoplasty)
Men with ears that protrude or are misshapen due to injury or a birth defect can correct the shape, position, and proportion of their ears through a plastic surgery procedure known as setback otoplasty.
