Plastic surgery is no longer exclusively associated with women. More and more men are choosing to invest in their appearance through surgical and non-surgical treatments. At Blooming, we see a growing number of male patients seeking procedures such as eyelid correction, gynecomastia surgery, rhinoplasty, and Botox. In this article, we explore which treatments are most popular among our male patients, what motivates men to seek aesthetic treatment, and how our approach is tailored to the specific aesthetic goals of men.
Plastic surgery is becoming increasingly popular among men. Men are more frequently opting for breast reduction surgery or wrinkle treatments with botox and fillers — for example, to achieve a sharper jawline. Chest augmentation and liposuction are also growing significantly in popularity.
The taboo around cosmetic treatments for men is slowly disappearing. But what are the most common plastic surgery treatments for men?
Breast Reduction
Excessive breast development in men can be addressed with a breast reduction, also known as gynaecomastia treatment. The patient's treatment is tailored to the cause of the breast development.
Chest Augmentation
Some men find that even with regular exercise, they do not develop the chest they desire. In such cases, chest augmentation may be considered, which is performed using pectoral implants. These are special implants that enlarge the chest muscles in men. These implants are placed in a single day under general anaesthesia.
Liposuction
When excess fat on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back, or calves cannot be reduced through exercise, men are increasingly turning to liposuction. The fat is suctioned away using a cannula through small incisions in inconspicuous locations and will not return. This is performed under full anaesthesia.
Wrinkle Treatment
An increasing number of men are choosing to have their wrinkles treated by a plastic surgeon. Botox is often used to reduce the frown line. Fillers are also being used more frequently for men, addressing under-eye bags or accentuating features such as the jawline.
Eyelid Correction
Just like women, men can suffer from drooping eyelids, which can give a tired appearance. Combined with often heavy brows, this can also create an angry look. In addition, drooping eyelids can cause reduced vision. An increasing number of men are therefore opting for an eyelid correction to achieve a rested, fresh, and open look.
