Cosmetic Surgery for Men: Our Top 5 Procedures

When you think of cosmetic surgery, do you think of female faces and figures? Attitudes toward cosmetic surgery for men have changed rapidly, with more men every year seeking procedures to help them look their best and feel more confident. Your El Paso Cosmetic Surgery team understands that male faces and bodies have unique needs and will customize your procedure to achieve strong, masculine results. 

Is Cosmetic Surgery Different for Men?

Several factors affect how cosmetic surgery differs for men and women. First, men tend to have heavier bone structure, thicker skin, more muscle, and less body fat, although these vary widely. While women tend to prefer a slimmer, more refined facial profile, for example, men tend to seek a stronger, more contoured one. Each individual’s needs are unique, and we treat each patient accordingly. 

Cosmetic Surgery for Men: Our Top 5 Procedures

Many of the procedures popular among men are the same as those women prefer, but men often have different goals. Your surgeon will spend time understanding the results you hope to see so they can help you achieve them. 

Facial Surgery

The face is one area where men and women differ most in the results they hope to achieve. Procedures like rhinoplasty require your surgeon to have an extensive understanding of the male bone structure, skin thickness, and how these factors affect the final results. Other common types of facial surgery for men include a facelift, neck lift, or eyelid lift. 

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia or enlarged male breasts can significantly affect your confidence. This procedure removes excess fat, breast tissue, or both to sculpt a flatter, more masculine chest. Gynecomastia surgery is unique to men and differs from female breast reduction. 

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Stubborn fat affects men as often as women, although sometimes in different areas. However, common areas for men and women include the abdomen, flanks, and under the chin. 

Tummy Tuck

The abdomen is a major concern for men. Even fit and healthy individuals may not be able to achieve the flat stomach they want. A tummy tuck can tighten loose abdominal skin and remove excess fat to sculpt and shape the abdomen. Men who have lost weight often have loose skin that a tummy tuck can address. 

Hair Restoration

Men tend to lose hair in a pattern often described as “male pattern baldness,” with hair loss from the browline and top of the head. This type of hair loss can be corrected with NeoGraft® hair restoration. This procedure takes follicles from a part of your head that still grows hair and meticulously places them in a natural-looking pattern.
