Masculine Makeovers at the Plastic Surgeon's Office
Everyone deserves to look and feel their best. For many years, plastic surgery has become a tool for women to become the most confident version of themselves. Men are typically known to be involved in regular trips to the gym and dieting for fitness. However, in recent years, plastic surgery has become an accessible and proactive option for both men and women. Through the combination of minimal and surgical procedures, men are allowed to reach their aesthetic goals.
Redefining Gender Norms
Exercise at the gym and healthy eating will only sometimes warrant the results most people search for. Luckily, it is becoming more socially acceptable and common for men to study plastic surgery and consider it an option. According to statistics, men have been involved in a 207% increase in cosmetic procedures since 2019. This is for various reasons—the main one being that it has been increasingly normalized for men to care for their appearance and be open to treatment for that. Additionally, with most people retiring older now past the age of 65, they wish to have a more youthful appearance for career opportunities. Lastly, the media has provided a medium for men to share their procedures with complete honesty. By having male celebrities and social media influencers share their experiences, men have begun to view it as increasingly socially acceptable.
Procedure Options
Various procedures can assist men in feeling confident and comfortable. They provide different benefits and shapes to the body that cannot be typically produced otherwise. One of these procedures is the tummy tuck, or Abdominoplasty, a popular option. This procedure involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles to give a slimmer appearance.
Liposuction has a similar goal of removing fat from stubborn areas. It is the most popular surgical procedure in general but has gained immense popularity amongst men because it permanently removes fat cells in targeted areas such as the abdomen. That would be recognized as 'Ab Etching,' which gives the appearance of toned abs.
Another option is a lower body lift, which has had a popularity increase of 61% since 2019. This operation allows men to get rid of excess skin and fat around the midline of their body. Not only does it remove sagging skin that can result from weight loss and aging, it also assists with removing dimpled skin. Surgical procedures are the only way to remove loose and dimpled skin.
There are other features that men often feel insecure about as well, such as breast size. Men can have larger breasts for a couple of reasons; while it is very normal, some do not like it and wish to alter the size. That is why breast reduction has become common among men. The operation flattens the chest and gives a more masculine aesthetic to increase confidence.
Facial Adjustments
Facial surgeries and other minimally invasive procedures have also begun to be more normalized for men. There are various ways to go about this, by focusing on specific features that can be enhanced and altered. Cheek implants and chin augmentation modify the face shape and give a more sleek and symmetrical look.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is also the most prevalent facial operation for men. It essentially improves the upper or lower eyelids to make them appear bigger and brighter, which can even help with better vision. Further, men have sports injuries and are involved in physical activity that can cause permanent damage to the nose. Through nose reshaping, which can be done in various ways to the patient's liking, they can fix or reconstruct after their injuries.
Minimal procedures, such as dermal fillers and botox, are perfect options for minimal changes that can bring unique and life-changing results to men. By adding volume and definition to some regions of the face, someone might look more masculine or youthful. These are all wonderful options for men, as today in society-everyone deserves the chance to feel confident in their physical features.
