Just like women, many men want to fight the signs of aging. Plastic surgery is not just for women. Many men are getting plastic surgery to reduce their wrinkles and trim their waists. Many men also desire more hair. Men are rejuvenating their faces with face, neck and eye lifts, forehead and brow lifts; having lasers and peels to remove the wrinkles and make their skin look younger; resculpting their noses, and undergoing liposuction and tummy tucks.
There are many new and improved plastic surgery options, depending on what you are looking to correct. The advent of non-ablative lasers and tissue tightening devices such as Thermage offer mini-lifts without surgery. New fillers such as Restylane and Perlane give men more choices to remove lines and wrinkles and fill in deep creases and folds. The Vaser, a new liposuction procedure, removes double chins, “spare tires” and “love handles” around the waist, large protruding abdomens and more. These procedures allow the plastic surgeon to be a true sculptor of the human body.
Many men, and even women, work out and take care of their health; however, they find they still have extra fat around the middle, tummy or back. Because liposuction removes localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, it is one of the best procedures to help men attain their desired body shape. Male breasts are another area where liposuction, and sometimes surgical correction, can help to improve the appearance of the chest area and restore self-confidence.
Men are also having pectoral implants to increase the size of their chests, and calf implants to give the legs a more pleasing shape. Another popular procedure includes body contouring to lift the buttocks, thighs, arms and abdomen; it also helps to reshape the body and remove excess, hanging skin. This procedure is especially useful after weight loss of 50 to 100 pounds or more, and is becoming more common.
