Plastic Surgery is on the rise for both women and men alike in the US. In fact, according to recent plastic surgery statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), we know that the number of cosmetic procedures performed on men continues to increase in popularity with every passing year. After all, there is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best and feel confident in your appearance. So, we know that cosmetic surgery is more popular than ever among male patients. But why is this?

Perhaps the increase in demand among male patients can be attributed to recently developed surgical techniques. Even though many men opt for traditional procedures like facelifts, there are now several cosmetic procedures tailored specifically to men like male breast reduction, as well as special techniques for male eyelid surgery. Additionally, some board-certified plastic surgeons are able to provide patients with more natural, subtle aesthetic results that many male patients seem to prefer. In the video below, I discuss plastic surgery for men and a few of the reasons why it has increased in popularity in recent years:

Regardless of the prospective procedure you are considering, it’s essential to find an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform your cosmetic surgery. I have been working with male patients for years and have a deep understanding of what men hope to achieve through cosmetic surgery.

In a society where there’s sometimes a misconception that women are the only patients who seek the help of a surgeon to restore their physical image, I know this to simply not be the case. In fact, as a board-certified plastic surgeon working with men and women of all ages over the past 25 years, I see more and more men coming into my office to talk about their cosmetic surgery options. And why shouldn’t they want to reap the benefits of turning back the hands of time too?

From males in their 20s who are concerned with excess breast tissue to those in their 60s seeking a “well-rested” facial appearance, there are a number of surgical procedures that are exceedingly popular among men today. I recently added a new video to my YouTube channel and the latest featured series is focused on the gentlemen! First up for the series I discuss the four most popular plastic surgery procedures among men and share a little background on what each procedure can accomplish for men.

When it comes to elective surgical procedures, making sure that the patient is completely happy with their results is something I always strive to maintain. Men and women are built differently so knowing the unique intricacies of each anatomy helps me provide the best plastic surgery results possible for all of my patients, regardless of gender. Our office always welcomes new patients, returning patients and any questions you may have in regards to plastic surgery procedures we offer.

Although the majority of breast surgery patients I see are female, many males also seek breast surgery in the form of breast reduction. Male breast reduction surgery to address gynecomastia is increasing in popularity, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reporting nearly 23,000 cases in 2013 alone.

male breast reduction surgery The overdevelopment of male breast tissue is referred to medically as gynecomastia, which can occur in men of any age for a variety of reasons. Hormonal changes, genetics, and even the use of certain prescription medications can contribute to the growth of excess tissue. When working with a patient who is experiencing these issues, I use liposuction to eliminate excess fat while surgically removing excess glandular tissue to create a smoother, more masculine chest.

I often witness a sense of self-consciousness of appearance and emotional distress from gynecomastia patients. Because of excess skin from dramatic weight loss or excessive glandular tissue, their chests can appear more feminine. Recently, a patient came in with these same concerns over their appearance. Read one patient’s testimonial to discover how breast reduction worked for him.
