Attractive Choices of Plastic Surgery for Men

We begin to observe changes in our body and face as our age progresses. Our souls are often energetic and dynamic, but our images may not reflect this freshness. Because of genetic predisposition, unhealthy and irregular nutrition, smoking, and environmental factors, we become unsatisfied with the changes in our appearance.

After a certain age, especially after 50, we look for ways to replace this view with a fitter, younger, and fresher one. Although plastic surgeries are generally trying to attract the interest of women, men also need some miraculous touches. The development of plastic surgery technologies, the expansion of plastic surgery for men and the increase in the number of good surgeons attract the attention of men.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' new reports, a growing number of American men are having cosmetic surgery to improve their looks and boost their self-esteem. Reports say that more than 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on U.S. men in 2017.

In this article, we will review the areas in which plastic surgery is more popular for men, by dividing it into two titles: Body plastic surgery for men and facial plastic surgery for men.

Plastic Surgery for Men: Body

• Liposuction

In the men’s body, shoulders, legs, chest area, and the belly region are generally more suitable areas for fat accumulations. Most men face up to male-type breast growth issue, called gynecomastia, despite all regular exercise or diet. In addition to this, the fat around the belly, and waist may also be annoying for men.
Liposuction surgery is an excellent solution to these types of fat accumulations. Liposuction is highly preferred plastic surgery among men. Thanks to this procedure, the men’s body becomes well-shaped and fitter.

• Tummy Tuck

The most common surgical method for eliminating skin sagging and fat accumulation and tightening of abdominal muscles in the upper, middle and lower abdomen is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery. Over the past five years, there was a 12 percent increase in tummy tuck surgeries among men according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons last 2017 report.

Your surgeon will remove sags in the abdomen by a 1 to 3-hour operation. This procedure mostly provides men a satisfactory result. The surgical scar that will remain in the groin line at the end of the surgery will be fading day by day.
An ideal male candidate for a tummy tuck is someone in good health, has realistic expectations and suffers from a sagging abdomen and fat accumulation that cannot disappear by exercise and diet.

 

• Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is an uncontrolled growth of the chest area in men. According to statistics collected by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), between 50% and 60% of adolescent males suffer from gynecomastia. For younger individuals, gynecomastia is generally caused by higher-than-normal levels of estrogen in the body.

The most effective solution for gynecomastia is the removal of excess fat from the chest.
This surgery results in an average of 2 hours. During this procedure, undesired tissue, fat, and skin are removed from the breast by small incisions to help compose a flatter chest contour. The incisions are sutured, and the chest region of the patient is bandaged when it is finished. The physical results of this procedure are often reported as highly satisfying, but the emotional effects may raise just as significant. It's common among men to experience a boost in self-esteem following their surgery. As an extra advantage, the removed fat during the surgery can also be used to help sculpt the pectoralis muscle if the patient prefers.
