When most people think about plastic surgery, they think of women. But did you know that men are one of the fastest-growing demographics in the industry? If you’re self-conscious about your body (as is perfectly normal for many, many men), then know that a board-certified plastic surgeon can help. Here’s what to know about plastic surgery for men and how it can help.

Do Men Get Plastic Surgery?

Before addressing the most common surgical procedures popular among men, let’s clear the air: yes, it’s OK and acceptable for men to seek plastic surgery – and it might surprise you to know that it’s becoming more and more common. More procedures are being designed for men’s specific needs and more plastic surgeons are beginning to specialize in treating male patients. Let’s look at some of the most popular male plastic surgery procedures and what they can do.

Facial Procedures

One of the leading plastic surgeries men consider is, by far, rhinoplasty and chin augmentation. For many men, a weak or underdeveloped chin – paired with a large or crooked nose – can take away from the classic chiseled masculine look. Additionally, many men experience signs of aging and look for ways to achieve a younger, more refreshed look as a way to get ahead in their professional and romantic lives. This might include options like the facelift, brow lift, or neck lift.

Male Breast Reduction

“Man boobs” are a common experience for many men. Called gynecomastia, this condition is commonly caused by hormone fluctuations, medications, or weight gain. This means that one of the most effective ways to get rid of it is surgery. Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is one of the most commonly sought-out procedures among men. If you’re self-conscious about taking your shirt off, you’re not alone.

Body Procedures

Most men dream of having a flat midsection but never see their hard work in the gym pay off. It’s nearly impossible to lose fat in the midsection, or even stretched and sagging skin if you’ve lost significant weight. Tummy tuck and liposuction are just as popular among men as among women for these reasons. Body contouring can remove stubborn fat and excess skin for a more toned look.

There is a common misconception that only women get plastic surgery, however, this is not the case at all! Men age in many of the same ways that women do and can develop facial wrinkles, folds, and sagging. There’s no reason why men shouldn’t look and feel their best too! Keep reading to find out why many men are choosing to get a facelift.

For a Younger Appearance

Wrinkles can begin to develop as early as your 30s and only get worse with time. Unfortunately, you can’t stop the clock, but you can reverse the effects it has on your appearance. With a facelift, men can achieve a younger look by smoothing out wrinkles and virtually eliminating sagging. A skilled plastic surgeon in San Antonio can give you a significantly younger-looking face while remaining natural. You’ll still look like you, just younger!

For a More Masculine Jawline

Plastic surgery aims to enhance the patient’s unique facial features. For women, that might mean looking more feminine and making certain features appear smaller, but for men, a facelift can create a more masculine appearance. A facelift can achieve this by tightening the underlying tissue in the lower face, creating a stronger, more defined jawline, and improving a double chin.

For Improved Confidence

Confidence plays a huge roll in your personal and professional life. If you’re self-conscious about your appearance, those aspects of your life are sure to be affected in some way. Your face is such an important and noticeable part of your body, so you’ll want to feel happy with the way it looks and the way people view you. A facelift can restore your confidence by taking years off your face and making you look more awake and refreshed, so you can tackle each day with confidence.

Every patient’s concerns and goals are unique, so schedule a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to find out exactly what a facelift could do for you! Contact our office today for a consultation with Dr. Homas or Dr. Brostrom in the San Antonio, TX area.
