Trends in Male Plastic Surgery: Botox, Body Contouring & More
Plastic surgery for men has taken off over the past 15 years. As the stigma associated with males receiving plastic surgery has waned, many see it as a way not just to look better but also to feel better. For example, surgery such as breast reduction, which offers great relief to those who experience back pain, has boomed with men.
Many of the same reasons motivate men to seek plastic surgery as women. Often they want their clothes to fit more comfortably, and they desire a way to feel better about their appearance. Men have more options than ever when it comes to plastic surgery. Here’s a look at the top plastic surgeries for men.
Breast Reduction
In 2015, for the first time ever, 40 percent of breast reductions were performed on men. The men who undergo this surgery often want to tone their chest area while removing excess fat stored there by genetics. They feel stronger and freer afterward, without the excess weight on their chests causing back issues or making it difficult to find shirts that fit right.
Body Contouring
When someone loses a large amount of weight, they often have excess skin that pools around their upper arms, torso or legs. This skin doesn’t just look unattractive. It also often causes chafing and can be difficult to clean. Body contouring rids the body of this sagging skin, while also reinforcing the underlying tissue. Men who have achieved weight loss and are no longer obese are increasingly opting for this surgical procedure.
Botox
Botox isn’t just for women. Men also get the small lines in their foreheads and crow’s feet that creep onto the face at middle age. Botox relaxes the nerves in the face and smooths out the wrinkles in the skin. It’s a quick, convenient and non-invasive procedure that’s winning male converts. As the standards of beauty in society expand to include men as well as women, they’ve become more concerned about what they look like and have begun to explore options such as Botox.
Liposuction
Men have problem areas just as women do. When diet and exercise just don’t do the trick, more have begun treating those areas with liposuction. This procedure has long been among the most popular cosmetic surgeries. For men, it may be a way to take care of those love handles or last five pounds they’ve been trying in vain to lose.
