Increasing Popularity of Male Plastic Surgery

When considering activities that are traditionally masculine, plastic surgery may not be at the top of the list. However, the popularity of plastic surgery for men has increased in recent years. More men are seeking out cosmetic procedures, and it’s become more socially accepted for them to do so.

Dr. Jeffrey Ditesheim is a board-certified plastic surgeon who can help male patients in Charlotte, NC, and nearby areas determine which procedures will help them find confidence in their appearance. Whether you’re interested in putting an end to embarrassment with surgery to reduce male breasts or a filler to create a more youthful look, our team is here to serve your needs.

Common Plastic Surgery Procedures for Males

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, five of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for men are:

1. Nose Reshaping

Also known as a rhinoplasty or nose job, this procedure can change the shape of your nose and help with certain breathing problems.

2. Eyelid Surgery

Also known as a blepharoplasty, this procedure removes extra skin and fat from your eyelids.

3. Cheek Implants

This procedure adds volume to the cheek areas to give the face a more youthful appearance.

4. Liposuction

Primarily used for body contouring rather than weight loss, this procedure uses suction to remove excess fat.

5. Ear Surgery

Also known as an otoplasty, this procedure reshapes the ear’s cartilage.

Many men are also interested in surgery for gynecomastia, which reduces swollen or enlarged breast tissue.

Along with surgery, men are also seeking out more minimally invasive options, such as Botox, laser skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, soft tissue fillers, and microdermabrasion. These procedures allow men to get results with minimal downtime, which means they can return to work and activities with friends and family sooner.

Why More Men Are Getting Plastic Surgery

There are several reasons for the uptick of interest in male plastic surgery. Compared to previous times, there is less of a stigma attached to the idea of optimizing your looks. Today’s digital era makes it easy to find information about potential procedures, and people of all genders can easily learn more about the surgeries that will help them achieve their ideal look.

Additionally, though the average man isn’t likely to become a movie star, in today’s age of selfies and Zoom video calls, everyone is spending more time looking at themselves. There are many opportunities to be on a camera or screen, whether it’s video chatting with a friend or a Zoom meeting with colleagues—and for some people, this can highlight areas of their appearance that they would like to change or improve.

With advances in modern medicine, we are also living longer than we did in previous generations. Many male plastic surgery patients want to look younger or refreshed through procedures like cheek implants and other options for facial rejuvenation.

No matter why more men are seeking cosmetic procedures, our expert plastic surgeon can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Societal attitudes have changed, and you don’t need to feel embarrassed for seeking out plastic surgery.
