Looking youthful, attractive and energetic is important to men. While many more women than men seek plastic surgery, it is becoming more and more common for men to consider cosmetic treatments. A youthful appearance can help men feel more confident in social interactions and can be beneficial when striving to stay competitive in many professional positions. Here are some of the top cosmetic surgeries used by men to look younger and feel more confident in their appearance.

Eyelid Lifts or Blepharoplasty

When the eyelid skin and tissue sags, it can not only make you look older, it also can make the eyes look tired or sad. Blepharoplasty or an eyelid lift can remove excess skin or fat and tighten the eyelids for a more youthful appearance. This procedure can reduce hooded, drooping upper eyelids or bags under the eyes, making men look more energetic.

Brow Lift Surgery

Many men have a furrowed brow that belies their age and can make them look grumpy even when they are in a pleasant mood. A brow lift can smooth away the horizontal forehead lines and frown lines between the eyebrows while lifting the skin and tissue on the brow for a youthful look.

Facelift

Heavy jowls and sagging tissue or skin under the chin is a tell-tale sign of aging. More than 11,000 men underwent facelift surgery in 2017 to combat drooping skin and tissue on the lower face and neck. A deep plane facelift can help redefine the jawline, reduce neck skin sagging and raise the jowls to help the face appear ten or more years younger.

All men deserve to feel confident when they look in the mirror at any age. If you want to look younger, contact an experienced facial plastic surgeon to discuss male cosmetic surgery options.

Comments Off on Top 5 Plastic Surgeries for Men

Looking good and feeling confident is not only desired by women; men also care about their appearance and want to look their best at any age. Plastic surgery was once mostly pursued by women, but men are closing the gap in recent years. Whether they want to look younger or just want to change a natural feature of their face, more and more men are seeking plastic surgery. Here are the top five plastic surgeries performed on men in 2017 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons:

Rhinoplasty

Number one on the list, and the most popular male cosmetic surgery for decades, is nose shaping or rhinoplasty. There were 53,393 rhinoplasty surgeries performed on men in the U.S. in 2017, almost a quarter of the total number.

Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty was second on the list for men in 2017, with 32,281 surgeries reported. This accounted for 15% of the total number of eyelid surgeries performed.

Liposuction

Men had 28,180 liposuctions performed in the U.S.; this can include liposuction on the body for shaping or facial/neck fat reduction.

Gynecomastia

Breast reduction surgery or gynecomastia was fourth in popularity with 26,839 surgeries performed on men in the U.S.

Hair Transplantation

Surprisingly, hair transplantation was fifth on the list for cosmetic surgeries for men, with 14,443 procedures performed. However, men accounted for 72% of all hair transplantation surgeries in 2017.

Other plastic surgeries that were high on the list included facelifts, ear surgery and dermabrasion. Men also received over 1.3 minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures in 2017, up 29% over the numbers reported in 2000.

Male cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries are becoming more popular as men realize the benefits changing their appearance can have on their confidence and self-esteem. If you are considering male plastic surgery, find an experienced plastic surgeon and schedule a consultation to discuss the options available.

Why More Couples Are Getting Cosmetic Procedures Together

May 17th, 2018 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on Why More Couples Are Getting Cosmetic Procedures Together

Have you heard of beauty matching? This is a phrase used to describe couples that choose to have plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures together to “match” their new looks. Long gone are the days when women were primarily the only gender to improve their appearance with cosmetic procedures. Now many men care about their appearance as much as women, and want to maintain their looks, especially when their significant other is having work done.

There are two main ways that beauty matching occurs. The first can happen when one person in a couple has work done and the results are incredible. A wife gets a facelift and looks years younger, or liposuction to improve their shape – and the husband wants to also look younger or have work done to “match” their spouse’s improved appearance. The procedures are not done together, but in quick succession of each other.

The second way is less likely but is becoming more frequent. A couple decides to get plastic surgery, cosmetic injections or other treatments at the same time. Maybe they are planning on renewing their wedding vows or heading to a class reunion, which spurs them to consider cosmetic options to look younger – it is often an upcoming event that they want to look their best for that begins the conversation. More and more plastic surgeons are seeing couples come in together for a consultation and then, scheduling their procedures at the same time.

If you and your significant other have contemplated cosmetic procedures, you are not alone in pursuing improving your appearance as a couple. It can be a bonding experience, helping improve their self-confidence and relationship when done together as a couple.

Benefits of Male Rhinoplasty

October 4th, 2017 Posted in Rhinoplasty
Comments Off on Benefits of Male Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty or the “nose job” is a popular plastic surgery for men. Although women are more likely to have plastic surgery, more men are undergoing surgical options to improve their appearance. Rhinoplasty is one of the top cosmetic surgeries for men – having a drastic impact on their overall appearance. Here are some of the benefits of rhinoplasty for men.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most impactful facial changes that can be made through surgery. The nose is the center of the facial features, but it should not detract from the eyes, mouth or rest of the face. Nose surgery can ensure that all the features blend together for symmetry and balance, without the nose overpowering or causing distraction.

For most men, rhinoplasty has slightly different goals than for women. Women may want a smaller or more delicate nose, but that is not always the case with men. Men may want a nose that is more masculine or pronounced to fit into their features. If they do want a reduction of a nasal hump or drooping nasal tip, they still want to retain a strong masculine nose. Many men only want a crooked or broken nose fixed, without a change in size or overall shape.

A well-shaped nose can benefit the attractiveness for a man. Correcting imperfections can help blend this important feature into the face, while defining the nose can make the chin and jawline more prominent for a masculine appearance that is often desired by men.

Transforming the nose can boost the self-esteem and confidence of many men who are unhappy with their appearance. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon that specializes in male rhinoplasty can ensure that the surgery corrects issues while keeping the overall facial features in balance.

Cosmetic Surgery IS For Men

July 30th, 2013 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on Cosmetic Surgery IS For Men

Talk of cosmetic surgery usually coincides with pictures of aging women seeking to regain their former youthfulness. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there has been a tremendous increase in the amount of males, from all ethnicities, seeking surgical procedures. We’re not just talking about celebrities here. Both men and women want to feel confident in the way that they look. Maintaining respect in the workplace, as well as a competitive edge amongst younger coworkers, is a primary motivator for men of the “baby boomer” generation to invest in cosmetic surgery for men. 

In seeking a more youthful, refreshed and energetic appearance, similar procedures may be performed in both men and women, but there are subtle differences. Rhinoplasties, for instance, are structured to maintain the masculine appearance of the nose. Brow lifts are considered generally more feminine; whereas, men tend to have heavier eyebrows that are viewed as attractive. Necklifts and facelifts are options for men who are concerned about their “turkey necks” and jowls. Another factor is the thicker skin of the aging male face, which is due to bearded skin, because it can influence scarring and healing. In addition to rhinoplasty, top cosmetic procedures performed on men include liposuction, eyelid surgery, male breast reduction and hair transplants. 

While men still tend to shy away from discussion of such things among themselves, they are just as happy as women with the results. In fact, many men today deem plastic surgery as a good business move. So, contact your local plastic surgeon to help you determine how you, too, can look younger and more vibrant. If cosmetic surgery is not an option that you currently want to explore, there are alternative procedures that can also take years off of a man’s appearance.
