Top 5 Most Commonly Requested Plastic Surgery Procedures for Men!

It is common for insecurities to arise for men just like they do for women. Because the girls tend to share their views about their trouble spots, we also help solving mens’ problems by sharing our secret products and procedures such as plastic surgery. So, now you might be asking, do men really get cosmetic surgery?

The answer is yes, in fact as per the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgery) annually there has been an increase in the number of plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures performed on men.

If you are considering cosmetic enhancement, consult CI Plastic’s board-certified and best plastic surgeon in Chicago-Dr. Dhaval Patel and discuss your aesthetic concerns.

With advances in technology and techniques, cosmetic surgery produces natural-looking rejuvenation. Here are some common plastic surgery procedures for men,

Let’s learn about it:

Which cosmetic surgery procedures are seeing the most significant increase in males?

There is nothing more important than being comfortable in your own skin. For many years, aesthetic enhancement seemed to be targeted solely towards women, even though men could equally benefit from surgical techniques and corrections.

Liposuction: 11,588

Gynecomastia: 8,853

Blepharoplasty: 7,893

Rhinoplasty: 7,475

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): 3,591

It is an undeniable fact that more and more men are undergoing cosmetic procedures. According to the annual report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 1.3 million men in the United States were hit (or needle) in 2018 - a 29% increase over 2000. minimally invasive, men still account for 13% of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. Unsurprisingly, men are increasingly turning to plastic surgeons for their aesthetic goals.      

Cosmetic surgery has never been gender-specific, but this disagreement can be traced back to our cultural misunderstanding of what cosmetic surgery is and who gets it. Thanks to the internet and social media, men and women have a better understanding of the meaning of these programs and what they can do.  

A board-certified plastic surgeon from CI plastic surgery clinic in Chicago ensures optimal results. They also want different results, especially in common procedures such as liposuction and rhinoplasty. After all, cosmetic surgery is not a panacea, and men want the results to be masculine and in line with their existing characteristics. The patients of Dr. Dhaval Patel reflect current trends reported by ASPS.

1.              Rhinoplasty

Proportionality is everything, if you are not happy with the shape of your nose or the way it blends in with the rest of your face, ask your plastic surgeon for a facial analysis. If the nose looks large, the lower part of the face may be out of place, such as a small lower jaw or chin. Often chin augmentation is combined with rhinoplasty surgery in Chicago to provide a harmonious facial appearance.

Nasal surgery requires subtlety and a deep understanding of the anatomy of the many structures of the nose. The main thing is to shape the male nose without feminization. It is also a fairly straightforward operation to recover from, and the patient can usually return to work within a week.

However, when it comes to rhinoplasty, men usually look for something other than women. "Usually men want a more masculine nose”.  "Usually they want it to be straighter and smaller than the so-called nasal tip tear (when the tip is above the tip of the nose). They usually want it to be a bit bigger."

2.              Chin Augmentation

As mentioned above, all facial subunits must be proportional to each other. If the jaw protrusion is limited by lack of growth, it may depict a weaker jaw with a less masculine appearance.

With the right reasoning, the plastic surgeon can provide improved projection by combining implant or re-positioning of the bone along with liposuction along the jawline to create a sculpted jaw that demonstrates strength.

3.              Liposuction

If you look in the mirror and the phrase "dad bod" screams, liposuction might be something to keep you entertained. It is important to remember that liposuction, with its many variations, is a remodeling tool, not a weight loss method. I highly recommend that anyone looking to reshape their bodies think about diet and exercise first. If, after some toning in the gym and reaching a normalized weight, you are still not satisfied with your body shape, then liposuction treatment in Chicago can be a smart addition to improve your appearance.

The abdomen can be shaped as well as shrinking the hips to provide a slimmer figure. It is a safe operation, after which it can be easily cured. Patients can usually return to work in a day or two. The final result will take anywhere from six weeks to two months to see the full effect of the remodeling.

Men want to get rid of the plump waist, but they also need a slanted and masculine silhouette to make them stronger. For men, this is not just to remove excess fat, but to increase and strengthen muscles. "They want broad shoulders, narrow waists, and no hips". In order to meet the needs of male clients, Dr. Dhaval and many surgeons and many surgeons use body shaping techniques during liposuction.    

Although it is not certain how many men will receive fat sculpting or fat transplantation to gain muscle mass, as ASPS makes no difference between these procedures and liposuction, both doctors have seen in their practice that this is becoming the same standard for male liposuction.

4.              Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia surgery or breast reduction is one of the other most common cosmetic procedures performed by men year after year. Part of the reason is that only men understand this. Gynecomastia is a medical term for male breast enlargement or feminization. Surgery usually involves removing tissue and combining liposuction to shape the area. Gynecomastia is a common disease that affects approximately half of all boys born and a quarter of men between the ages of 50 and 69.    

However, as Dr. Dhaval points out, male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery does not necessarily mean that you are undergoing a textbook gynecomastia procedure. “I have a lot of patients asking for liposuction or breast contouring,” he says. "You can put them in the same category because I am working on their breasts, but they are not specifically designed to treat gynecomastia." Regardless of how you shorten it, whether these men are undergoing actual gynecomastia surgery or not, it is clear that breast augmentation in Chicago and shaping procedures are becoming more and more popular.          

5.              Eye Lift or Blepharoplasty Surgery

“Men come and say, 'I look tired and old,' but they don't need a facelift,” says Dr.Dhaval, and the solution is eyelift. Most men first notice signs of aging around the eyes and usually complain of bags under the eyes or excess skin on their eyelids, which they think makes them look older. Therefore, blepharoplasty is expected to always be one of the most popular procedures for men. An eye lift/blepharoplasty surgery in Chicago is performed on the upper or lower eyelid (often both) and removes excess skin to smooth wrinkles and make the eye area smoother and more youthful.

“Aforementioned are popular surgical procedures with male patients,” says Dr. Dhaval as they are relatively simple procedures that provide excellent results with minimal downtime.  

Choose an Experienced Plastic Surgeon!

While deciding on which procedure to have, it is very important for males to seek out a specialized surgeon with the proper skills & experience to perform the surgery. Only a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon can properly determine the differences in the surgical needs between men and women. Due to masculinity and facial hair attributes, a man seeking male plastic surgery should choose a cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience in operating on men in order to attain the best possible outcomes.
