Common Reasons for Male Plastic Surgery in Charlotte

Plastic surgery has traditionally been more popular among women. However, an increasing number of men are also interested in the benefits that plastic surgery can offer in their personal and professional lives. Changing attitudes toward gender roles and spending more time looking at ourselves on screens are two reasons for this change.

Your reason for considering plastic surgery is typically personal and may reflect your professional or individual concerns. If you are interested in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Jeffrey Ditesheim has over 20 years of experience serving male patients in Charlotte, NC, and nearby areas. Below are some of the most common reasons men consider plastic surgery in Charlotte.

Common Reasons Men Consider Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is getting more common. With improvements in technology, it’s also more accessible. Most men enjoy a subtle, natural-looking result that has a positive influence on their personal and professional lives. Every person in Charlotte has different reasons for considering plastic surgery.

Most men express concerns with excess fat deposits and skin in various areas of the body. These fat deposits can be resistant to diet and exercise and show up in your abdomen, flanks, or breast tissue. Fine lines, wrinkles, and excess skin can also show up in your upper eyelids and face. Each of these changes can negatively influence how people perceive you.

Gynecomastia

This is the medical term to describe when a man’s breast tissue gets larger. Hormonal imbalances, obesity, genetics, or certain medications can cause an increase in size. Enlarged breasts make it difficult to find clothes that fit, and embarrassing to go without a shirt to the pool or shower at the gym. Surgery helps remove this tissue so you have a flatter and more masculine chest. The results are generally permanent when you maintain your weight.

Hair Loss

The medical term is androgenic alopecia. It’s a common condition, often driven by hormonal changes, genetics, or aging. A receding hairline makes you look older and more tired. It can also have a negative influence on your professional opportunities when you compete against younger employees. Hair transplants use hair follicles from a dense area of hair growth and transplant them to a thinning or balding area. They offer you a long-term solution and can significantly boost your confidence.

Body Contouring

Body contouring procedures are used to reshape and sculpt your body. However, it is important to realize these are not weight loss procedures. Body sculpting or contouring should only be considered when you reach your goal weight. The final result is to create a smoother and younger silhouette. The most common procedure is liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits and can improve your physique, creating a more toned and defined shape.

Nose Reshaping

Your nose is typically the first thing that most people see when they meet you. If your nose is too big or wide for your face, it can change how people perceive you. You might have a prominent hump, crooked nose, or wide nasal tip that influences the way you see yourself. Surgery can adjust these differences and create a nose that is more proportional to the rest of your face. Nose surgeries can also improve functional issues, such as a deviated septum that makes it difficult to breathe.

Drooping Eyelids

Drooping eyelids make you look chronically angry, older, or tired. This also affects other people’s first impressions of you. Drooping eyelids can also affect your peripheral vision. This makes it difficult to see what’s happening on your left and right side and increases your potential risks while driving. Eyelid surgery can remove the excess skin and fat, so you have a more alert and refreshed appearance. Most insurance companies do not pay for cosmetic procedures; however, they may help pay for your surgery if the excess skin gets in the way of your eyesight. You typically need prior authorization supported by documents from an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Aging

Many men consider facial plastic surgery to address changes that come with aging, like wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss. These types of visible signs of aging happen first on the face, neck, and eyelids. Surgery can target excess skin and restore a more useful appearance. Fat grafting or dermal fillers can help restore volume loss. A combination of these procedures can help rejuvenate your face and create naturally refreshing results.
