Since ancient time, women have sought to improve their looks through a variety of means. Today, many women use cosmetic surgery to help them to look younger and feel more confident. However, cosmetic surgery procedures are not just for women anymore. Many men get these procedures done to help them in both their careers and their social lives.
Rhinoplasty
Like women, men may not be born with a nose that suits their face. In addition, age has a way of pulling down the tissues of the face, making the nose look larger or more bulbous than in younger years. Many men choose to correct this problem with rhinoplasty. The plastic surgeon can reshape the cartilage and bone into a more attractive shape to provide a younger and better-proportioned facial appearance.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is more commonly known as eyelid surgery. Many men choose to have the drooping appearance of aging eyelids corrected to provide a refreshed and younger appearance. This surgery can be done in the crease of the upper eyes or below the lashes on the lower lid. Recovery generally takes about ten days.
Gynecomastia
Breast surgery isn’t just for women. Men who have increased breast size from weight gain, medications or other conditions may need to have their breast tissue removed for a more masculine appearance. Men who have undergone bariatric surgery to lose weight may need to have breast surgery to remove excess tissue. Recovery requires a few days of rest and avoidance of heavy lifting.
Buttock Implants
Men’s buttock’s often become flattened and sagging with age. Some men never have much shape in their buttocks from the start. Plastic surgeons can place implants into the buttocks to give a more rounded and younger look. Recovery from this type of surgery requires the patient not sit for several days, so help at home is needed.
Liposuction
Today, liposuction surgery is being used by men almost as frequently as it is for women. For those men who still retain belly fat and “love handles” even after dieting and exercise, liposuction can restore a trimmer waistline and younger appearance. Recovery from soreness and swelling can take up to two weeks.
Botox For Excessive Sweating
Men with excessive sweating problems, a condition called hyperhidosis, can visit an excessive sweating treatment clinic for Botox injections. Several small injections of Botox in the armpit can help to prevent this problem. No recovery period is required.
