Men are increasingly seeking plastic surgery because they want to change the things they dislike about their appearance. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, certain cosmetic procedures are becoming quite popular with men. They are a way to deal with image change and maintenance.

 

What Men Should Expect on Their Cosmetic Surgery Journey


 

Many men are seeking a trimmer waistline, balanced nose, and other cosmetic changes. This is because modern society places a high value on looking fit and young. Thus, men of all walks of life and all ages are undergoing cosmetic surgery. However, the procedures your cosmetic surgeon will use to achieve your goals will depend on various factors. These include your body type, beard growth, skin thickness, and more.

 

Commonly Requested Cosmetic Procedures for Men


 

Botox



This is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure for men. If you consider having Botox, you need to understand that your cosmetic surgeon will temporarily inject botulinum toxin into your face and neck. This will eliminate or reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

 

Botox helps with forehead creases, crow’s feet, frown lines, and band lines in the neck. It may also help reduce muscle spasms around your eyes and in your neck, heavy sweating, and migraines.

 

Eyelid Surgery


 

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure meant to improve the appearance of the patient’s eyelids. The cosmetic surgeon can perform surgery on the lower eyelids, upper eyelids, or both.

 

This type of cosmetic procedure can treat sagging or loose skin that affects the natural contour of the upper lids, which can sometimes impair vision. It can also treat bags under the eyes, fatty deposits that make the eyelids look puffy, and fine wrinkles or excess skin on the lower eyelids.

 

Laser Hair Removal


 

Are you tired of your furry chest or back? If you are, this cosmetic procedure can solve your problem. It involves the use of light beams or lasers to damage hair follicles. Thus, any hair that grows back is usually lighter and finer. This procedure works best for people with lighter skin with dark hair. It can also work nearly anywhere, including legs and underarms.

 

Liposuction


 

This procedure aims to slim down and reshape certain body areas by taking out excess fat deposits. This will help improve the appearance of your body’s proportion and contours. Liposuction can work on your waist, abdomen, chest area, thighs, buttocks, hips, upper arms, cheeks, back, neck, calves, ankles, and chin.

 

Soft Tissue Fillers


 

As you age, your face will start to lose some of the muscle layers, bone, and fat under your skin. This will make your wrinkles more noticeable. Your cosmetic surgeon can inject fillers into your skin to plump it up. There are many types of fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and synthetic products.

 

Other common types of cosmetic procedures for men include:

 

  • Chemical peel
     

  • Laser skin resurfacing
     

  • Nose surgery
     

  • Laser treatment for spider veins
     

  • Breast reduction
     

  • Facelift
     

  • Hair transplant
