About men and plastic surgery

What is men and plastic surgery?

Looking young and fit is highly valued in our society. Men of all ages and from all walks of life are now seeking cosmetic plastic surgery.

Men may want a more proportionate nose, a refreshed face, and a slimmer waistline. The methods employed to accomplish these objectives must take into account elements including body type, beard growth, and skin thinning.

Neurotoxins

Botulinum toxin in its cosmetic version, also referred to as "Botox" by patients, is a well-liked injection that temporarily minimises or gets rid of wrinkles and fine lines on the face.

Uses for botulinum toxin include:

  • Smooth forehead furrows, bunny lines, frown lines, lip lines, and crow's feet.
  • Reduce neckbands
  • Enhance the chin's skin dimpling's appearance
  • Raise your mouth's corners.
  • Make a square jawline softer
  • Fix a goofy smile.

Eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty, often known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical operation to enhance the appearance of the eyelids. The upper lids, lower lids, or both can be operated on.

Surgery on the eyelids can treat:

  • Loose or sagging skin that folds or alters the top eyelid's natural curve, occasionally obstructing vision
  • Fatty deposits that cause the eyelids to seem puffy
  • Under-eye bags
  • Lower eyelids that are drooping and showing white beneath the iris
  • Lower eyelid excess skin and fine creases

Liposuction

By removing extra fat deposits and enhancing your body's proportions, liposuction, sometimes known as "lipo" by patients, slims and reshapes particular body parts.

Liposuction is an option for:

  • Thighs
  • Buttocks and hips
  • Waist and abdomen
  • Back Inner knee Upper arms
  • Chest region
  • Chin, neck, and cheeks
  • Ankles and calves

Neck lift

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical technique that reduces the neck's and jawline's outward indications of ageing.

Surgery for a neck lift can treat:

  • Jowls are caused by too much fat and relaxed skin in the lower face.
  • Fat builds too much behind the chin
  • Unstable neck skin
  • Aberrant neck outlines were caused by muscle banding.

Gynecomastia surgery

By flattening and improving the chest outlines, gynecomastia surgery can lower men's breast size. Gynecomastia can be treated surgically using this treatment.

Gynecomastia is a condition in which males grow abnormally large or developed breasts at any age. The disorder may be brought on by hormonal changes, hereditary factors, obesity, or the use of specific medicines.

Hair transplant

The goal of hair transplant surgery is to regrow hair in bald or hair-thinning areas of the scalp. There are various kinds of hair transplant surgery.

These most frequently include hair transplantation, but other hair restoration techniques include scalp reduction surgery, flap surgery, and tissue expansion of the scalp. To give the patient the best results for hair replacement, any one of these surgical procedures can be utilised alone or in combination.

During a hair transplant, tiny fragments of hair-bearing scalp are removed from a donor site and used as grafts to be transplanted to bald or thinning areas of the scalp.

What should I expect during my recovery?

How you feel in the days and weeks that follow will determine if your procedure was successful. Therefore, you must completely follow the advice of your plastic surgeon.

As you heal, the doctor might prescribe the following:

  • wearing bandages or restricting clothing, getting adequate sleep, avoiding sunlight, giving up alcohol and cigarettes, and taking enough time off of work
  • avoiding intense activities, sports, exercise, and sexual activity

Plastic surgeons are aware that because men are socialised to be stoic, it may be difficult for them to recover in bed for extended periods of time or to accept help from others. Studies show that when males need assistance after surgery, they usually downplay their agony and feel ashamed. Men who refuse help may experience a particularly difficult recovery if post-operative depression manifests in the weeks after surgery.

If you want to avoid post-operative problems, you must arrange to have a support person available to you for around a week after surgery to help you physically and emotionally. Your chances of healing more rapidly and experiencing effects more quickly will both rise if you get the help and rest you need.
